Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opera

This was my third visit to Sofitel and they never disappoint. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained. We love the location. Some areas require a taxi but there is great shopping, restaurants and bars within walking distance. What always stands out with Sofitel is their service. This particular visit we were celebrating my daughter’s birthday. They helped me find a bakery so that I could get her a cake and they even set up balloons for us in the room while we were out as a surprise. Tilly in particular was fantastic in helping pull this off. She messaged me quite a bit on WhatsApp to make sure the plans were set for my daughter. I won’t stay anywhere else when I come to Paris!

I have traveled extensively and have had the privilege of staying at some amazing locations. I’m posting today because I want to acknowledge the service that we received during our stay. From the moment we walked into reception, we were treated as if we were the only guests staying with them. The knew our names before we offered them. The doorman (I wish I could remember his name. I do know he was from Istanbul). He was very helpful and had the MOST welcoming smile and a warmth that you don’t see everyday. Aurelian in the breakfast room was amazing. Very attentive and was always anticipating our every need. We NEVER left hungry or empty handed. It is clear to me that the staff is treated well here. They genuinely smile. They are eager to be of service and to me it seems as if everyone genuinely enjoys their job and those around them. I am grateful for the time spent here. It is truly a home away from home. My mother and I had a wonderful experience and plan on returning soon.

Proust’s favourite hotel in Paris still gets just about everything right. We have just come from a six-night stay in the Scribe and have nothing but praise for it. I will follow the format we normally use in our reviews. LOCATION Can’t be faulted, bearing in mind Paris is a big city and anywhere you stay is going to be nearer to some sights than others. Within five minutes’ walk of the Opera, the Madeleine, Place Vendome, the Olympia, Galeries Lafayette and Printemps is pretty good going, and we had no trouble walking to the Louvre, the Tuileries, Notre Dame and even Place des Vosges and Opera de la Bastille, while for those of a less energetic persuasion there are at least three metro stations within five minutes of the door, and taxis waiting permanently outside. RECEPTION Fast, efficient, and charming. In fact, charming is the word we would use for all the staff throughout our stay. They were helpful, as well, which is not always the same thing. ACCOMMODATION Our suite was spacious, comfortable, well furnished, and well thought out. The electrics were a trifle inscrutable to work out, but that is not uncommon in hotels, and not just in France, and we got there in the end. The fruit bowl was a very nice touch, and what was most unusual was the water filter on cold tap in the bathroom, so that we did not need to lay in stocks of drinking water. Everything was beautifully and unobtrusively maintained throughout our stay. FOOD Breakfast was really very good, although it had its quirks. The soi-disant muesli was actually very nice, but nothing like any muesli I have ever seen before, with a complete absence of both fruit and oats. There was a very good range of both hot and cold dishes, and all the usual accompaniments, as well as some less usual, like boiled rice and miso soup. The brioche was outstanding, as was the service, which was vraiment sympathique. Well done to everyone! I really can’t say anything about the other services and amenities, as we never had time to use them. If only we had been able to afford a full week! Never mind, we are already saving up for next year.

Arrived for a two day stay. Was greeted and thanked for our diamond status. Staff was extremely friendly and the room was great. We were sick so we didn’t go to the restaurant or cafe during our trip but the room service was good! We are returning in a couple of months so we will leave another review then

Ahaha in the breakfast was very kind and made sure to give us a great experience every morning. The concierge was super helpful. Even the bell boy made tufaan made our children comfortable.
