Monsieur Helder

Great location. Clean and modern hotel. Staff was great. Rooms were small.

Small boutique hotel in a great location by Opera at a reasonable price. Dont expect all the lavish trimmings and facilities of a large hotel but it’s a great place to stay and they provide all the essentials in the room. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Didn’t use the conjoined little restaurant but it was packed which is a good sign! Great value for a place to stay in Paris.

The hotel is very well located for the Palais Garnier Opera House. It has a thriving and attractive coffee shop on the ground floor. Our first room 42 was very small indeed and with a sloping ceiling. The bathroom was tiny and the sliding door would not stay shut. We asked to move, which was pleasantly accommodated. Room 62 was still tight, but has full height ceilings. We found it surprisingly penny pinching when we were staying for 5 nights that we were only allowed two Nespresso capsules and were expected to pay for any more. We had to ask for additional toilet paper. There was no shampoo in the container on the shower wall. We had to ask for an extra towel, as there were two of us. These are all very small points, but taken together, they lowered our opinion of what could be a very nice, albeit compact, hotel. The reception staff were very helpful, but perhaps there is a need for a greater management input.

The area where the hotel is located is generally safe. It's about a 5-7 minute walk to the Galeries Lafeyette which was awesome! And from the Galeries or if you take a detour and walk to the Angelina cafe for brekkie or directly to the Shopping Street (Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré) depending on your walking speed, it's about a nice 20 minute walk which isn't really too far especially since I love the cold. You hardly break a sweat. However the space was a little tiny - lift, room walking space, the corridor to the rooms. I was the only person in the room with 3 big luggage and a carry-on and if I find it a tad small, having 2 people in the room may be a bit of an inconvenience. But it is what it is cause space is like a commodity in Paris. So I can't complain as it was a generally very nice boutique hotel. Clean and relatively safe. You have a cafe in the hotel building called Wild & The Moon. They are vegan cafe so for the vegans, here's a good option. I didn't get to try their teas or cakes which looked really good but I did get a bottle of juice which was really awesome.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. 24/7 support for any questions

Lovely spot

Unfortunately the walls are so thin and the rooms not soundproofed in any way that I was kept awake by the person in the next rooms snoring, which travelled in a manner that made it seem like they were in the room with me. It’s for this reason I cannot recommend this hotel.

The hotel is good. The rooms are irregularly shaped, so they feel smaller than they are. No AC yet, but the rooms have fans. Clean and tidy. Good location. Staff are cheerful and helpful.

What an amazing stay! I want to address other concerns I have read about in here. Is the room small? Yes, it is a small boutique Parisian hotel. It kept us close but in no way impacted our stay. Is the elevator tight? Yes, it is a small boutique Parisian hotel. You cannot beat the service, location and cleanliness of this hotel - especially in this price range. The go as far as to send you a pre-stay survey to make sure you have the best stay possible. In the survey I mentioned that my husband and I were celebrating our 20-year anniversary and we had a bottle of wine waiting in our room for us. The front desk staff were able to even help with a bit of French (Bonjour is used in the morning). The car service they arranged for us to get to the airport upon our departure was a great help! The location is amazing - walkable to everywhere. You are very close to the Louvre and the Opera but we were even able to walk to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. This hotel was awesome!

Great location but small rooms. Cafe downstairs has coffees and other eco treats. Nearby restaurants are expensive. Other than McD and BK. Metro is close. Depending on room, quite noisy during day but ok at night. I would stay there again because of its plusses

Super hotel, clean, all amenities in room. Quiet street but very close to metro, buses, Opera and Galleries Lafayette. Lovely helpful staff.

We had a terrible stay, they ruined our honeymoon. Don’t let the pictures or other reviews fool you, the rooms are very very tiny. You won’t be able to open a suitcase on the floor, property is very smelly. The first night we stayed WE FOUND A RAT inside of our bedroom and we panicked and had to open a window so it would leave (My husband is also very allergic to rodents, rabbits etc). Once we complained there was no one at the front desk so we had to call hotels.com who also couldn’t contact the hotel. We were told they could only change our rooms but not switch hotels because it would have to be a decision made by Moinsure Helder. The next day we were told they were going to move our bags into the new room…… We came back after a long day expecting to have a new room, the key they gave us was to another room with someone else’s belonging. They had misplaced our luggage and didn’t assign us a new room, we had to wait again until they would assign us a new room and locate our baggage after giving away our current room to someone else. Overall bad experience, staff is rude particularly at night after coming late from being in the city. Do yourself a favour and avoid this hotel at all costs, wouldn’t come back even if I was paid to.

Room was very small. Hallway was not lit. Tiny elevator. Shower walls and floor was very dirty. Very nice staff and centralized hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Staff are very friendly. The room is clean and quiet. You have mini bar in your refrigerator for small charge. Coffee maker tea and coffee provided in your room. You have everything around you different type of restaurants. 10 minutes walk to louvre museum, 2 minutes walk to Opera and 15 minutes with metro to Eiffel Tower. Metro is cross street. The hotel is one block from the Galleria Lafayette the most beautiful 6 level mall. We will definitely stay here again very comfortable and safe.

Thank you Monsieur Helder fteam for a phenomeal customer service which made my stay wonderful! The only thing that needs improvement is the shower floor cleanliness. Everything else was lovely, thank you very much! Best, Rali

Our stay was amazing. Great location in Paris to explore everything by foot with average 20-30min walks. Great hospitality and breakfast in bed. The rooms were amazing, very clean and great size. Everything we needed and staff were very accommodating. Great cafe attached too. Would really recommend.

Love the quaintness of the property… room was small (though expected of Paris rooms for single travellers), it still met all my needs except for toothpaste. Would appreciate that :) and the location is the best, so close to everything!

Lovely boutique hotel, love their approach towards clean living (sustainability, vegan cafe at lobby) etc!

I reserved in Monsieur Helder for only one reason, Having a parking, but surprisingly, when we arrived from a road trip from Strasbourg to Paris "driving for around 6 hours" the guy at the reception told us their is no parking and that its wrong what is stated on the Hotels.com and it is not updated, i was really disappointed, having a parking spot in Paris is IMPOSSIBLE in Christmas period, on another hand, the room was very small, bed not comfortable at all, pillows not comfortable, but everything is clean, toiletries is not bad, and one more thing, when we arrived for checking in i asked for help in the luggage and in a very cool way, the receptionist told me : This is a 3 start hotel we have no one to help you, its just a bad experiense in Monsieur Helder that i will not repeat when visiting Paris again.

Fantastic boutique hotel, 5 minutes walk from Palais Garnier (Opera) and a couple of metro stations. Staff were very friendly, and the room was really quiet and comfortable. It was a nice touch for them to provide hand gel in addition to bottled water. I didn't use the on-site cafe, but they looked to have healthy options available! Would definitely stay here again!
