I spent 4 months planning my return to Paris after 50 years, concerned about hotels because of sleeping issues. I stumbled on the Hotel Vivienne early on in my research and was attracted by the consistently excellent reviews of the hotel location and staff cordiality. My boyfriend (first trip to Paris) and I were not disappointed. We stayed in room... More

We were really happy that we have chosen this hotel for our stay in Paris! It is close to the main boulevard were you can find so many restaurants,shops,coffee shops,close to the metro Richelieu Drouot and Grand Boulevards. Close to the Opera Garnier,about 700-800 m and we even walked to the Louvre Museum(15 min). We had a room with bathroom... More

Given the outrageous prices for most hotels in Paris proper, this was a real find. We stayed three nights. Room and bed were comfortable, with private toilet and bath. Elevator a bit rickety, but worked fine. Staff very courteous. Right near Metro, and lots of shops/activity nearby. Could walk to Louvre and other sites from here. One suggestion... coming to...

Have stayed here on a4 night break to Paris and found the staff to be very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable on local sites etc and be able to communicate in English if required. The hotel is basic in that there are no frills but, of great importance is that it is clean and tidy. The rooms are well provisioned with adequate... More

At first I was hesitant about booking the hotel because the toilet was down the hall - right at the end of the hall from our room in fact. It turned out to be no problem at all. The room had a sink and a shower, which is way more important. And since we were in Paris and out all... More

We stayed at a standard double room for three nights and would definitely recommend Hotel Vivienne or consider another stay at the future. It was clean, very conveniently located at the city centre (2 mins walk from metro stations Bourse and Grands Boulevards, 7-8 min.walk from Opera). We were very pleased with the kind staff and the really friendly receptionists... More

Just got back from a weekend break. Was one of the lower rooms (2) on suite, very clean and decent size. Mattress felt a bit basic but I find this in most hotels. Staff always helpful and a great position for a night at the opera and to see many of Paris's sights. As we just used as a base... More

Firstly, nothing in Paris is cheap. So the price was high for what we would pay in England. But seemed comparable for Paris. Location - Great for transport in as much as it was a few meters walk to the Grandes Boulevard metro stop. This was ideal for the Opera houses in both directions. So not far for interchanges to...

We (two ladies in late 50s) stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Vivienne in February 2013 and stayed in rooms 40 and 41. Being at the top of the hotel, they were quiet, bright and airy, each with its terrace and table and chairs. The staff and management were exceptionally warm, genuine and helpful. This set the tone for a... More
