We really enjoyed our short visit to Hotel Basile. The location is excellent - especially if you want to do shopping, go to the Opera, or walk over to the Tuileries garden. The hotel staff was very helpful and flexible to our needs -- including me showing up to breakfast at 10:30 AM when breakfast had already ended at 10 AM. The room is quite small, but that's not a surprise for Paris. There were quite a few people out on the street, in front of a neighborhood bar. But the double-pane windows meant we did not have any problems with noise.
