Review of America Opera Hotel, Paris

Opera Cadet Hotel

Advantages: Good hotel, good location
Disadvantages: Small bathroom

...I want to speak to you about the Hotel Opera Cadet, located in Paris, next to the subway stop of Cadet. I was there in July near 4 days in this hotel and did not have problems ever. First, it is good placed, so like already I've said, it has nearby both the subway and the buses. I speak about a reformed hotel (though not too recently). It has 6 floors, 2 elevators and enclosedly private parkings. It has also rooms of meetings, lounge of breakfast and bar, to report of all kinds of rooms: - 3 Suites - 2 Superiors - 3 Rooms for handicapped persons - 45 Doubles - 11 Triple ones (double beds with the supplementary one) - 16 Triple ones of three beds - 5 quadruple ones In all the rooms we can find air conditioning (not all the hotels in Paris have air conditioning), soundproofing, decoration and modern furniture (this puts it...

Abotel Regina Opera, Opera Region, Paris

Advantages: Clean, budget-priced accommodation, easily accessible
Disadvantages: Area OK, but not the prettiest part of Paris

...11 BIS RUE DE MAZAGRAN , Paris This Hotel is rated as 3* according to the 2004 review. However, having stayed in Paris many times, we were well aware when we booked that the number of stars advertised by a hotel often doesn't mean a lot. Never take En Suite for granted, for instance, is rule number 1 when staying on the continent (we've learnt the hard way!!) However, this hotel definately deserved its 3 stars, and would fit the bill of a 3 star hotel in the UK. We stayed at the Regina Opera for 2 nights in February 2004. The hotel is located in the 10th Arrondissement in an easily accessible location. It's off the main street so it's not too noisy at night, in an area that seems to have a large number of Turkish residents and restaurants. Back on the main road, however, are a wide variety of bars, clubs and restaurants to take...

Advantages: grt location
Disadvantages: --

...**** Quality Hotel Pierre Arc de Triomphe Paris**** I stayed in this hotel the second time i visited this city.There are 25 rooms,all en-suite ,single,double and twin. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located very near the arc de triomphe and down one of the streets is a shuttle bus service which will take you to the airports,both Charles De Gauile and Orily.It is also near a metro stop and a taxi rank.This is how long it will take you to get to te hotel from the following places From the Champs Elysées : 10 minutes walk From the Palais des Congres : 10 minutes walk From Opera : Direct access by the ligne number 3(2 minute walk). **Reception/staff** I didn't think that this looked very impressive.There was apparently a bar but this was an area with two seats and small work top.Unimpressed.Checking in was okay but...

Review of Quality Hotel Pierre - Arc de Triomphe, Paris

  A Superb Gamble in Vegas! The Paris Hotel!

Advantages: Something new to explore..you can be in Paris and Las Vegas at the same time!
Disadvantages: A bit pricy for some, you need more than two weeks to see everything!

... I?m not going to review the hotel only, as there is a lot more to come . . . The property includes several authentic replicas of famous Parisian attractions: Outside the hotel there are replicas of the Arc de Triomphe, the Paris Opera House, the Hôtel de Ville, and the Louvre, along with an Around the World in Eighty Days balloon marquee. What more do we need! Inside the French atmosphere is carried on. Everything is ornamented and decorated in Gallic regalia, including village façades with arched windows, fake trees, and three massive legs of the 50-story Eiffel Tower replica jutting through the roof and resting on the Monet-style floral carpets. You can see the water fountains with various sizes and shapes and historical pre 1920?s statues are placed nearly everywhere. There's even a traditional French design paved...

Review of Paris, Las Vegas

The Opera House

Advantages: Wasn't expensive
Disadvantages: Hour tour wasn't long enough

...SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE Sydney Opera house is located on the eastern headland of Circular Quay just a few minutes from the train station. It is made up of 1,056,000 Swedish tiles on the roof, which are off white and are self-cleaning. Construction began in 1959 after a Danish architect Jorn Utzon won an international design competition for the $7 million building. In 1966 Utzon quit after political interference leaving Australian architects to design the interior costing $102million. He has never seen the building completed. Utzon who is now in his eighties has announced to refurbish the interior and he has high hopes that it will be full of colour rather than a black hole. His son comes to Australia to oversee any developments. It was finally was completed against all odds and after several disagreements in 1973. It now is one...

Dial O for Opera

Advantages: Speed dial makes navigating oh so easy!
Disadvantages: Initial load up is very slow.

...As a family of six there is much logging in, off and out on our computer. Many a day goes by when I find myself on my son's profile on MySpace or in my wife's eBay account without even realising how I got there. It was therefore, with a heavy heart that I decided to find myself a web browser of my own. My wife and kids are now left to the wondrous firefox as I scour the web for a viable alternative. Naturally, Internet Explorer is straight off the menu as its massive security flaws and general style make it repulsive to me. Safari looked promising on first download only for me to find that it just was not compatible with several of my favourite sites. This left me with but one alternative...Opera. I have never really fancied the idea of the Opera Web Browser. For some reason it always came across as a very serious product to me...

Review of Opera 9

Top Quality Opera for All

Advantages: Beautifully produced, top quality singing
Disadvantages: None

...As an aspiring opera singer I am keen to get to see as much opera as I possibly can and to get the best experience I can for the least amount of money possible! The Royal Opera House is almost certainly the most well known opera house in Britain and I look forward to every production I see there, knowing that it will be a real treat for the ears and the eyes! - Booking tickets - First things first, how to book tickets. You may be under the impression that tickets for the opera are hugely expensive and yes, for certain seats they are - for the big Wagnerian productions the best seats will go for upwards of £200! However, seats in the Ampitheatre are far more reasonably priced (around £22-30) and if you're willing to stand then tickets can be as low as £5 (I stood last weekend and it's really not as bad as it sounds, in fact the view...

Review of Royal Opera House London

Paris, je t'aime

Advantages: Great metro service, beautiful city to explore on foot,
Disadvantages: Perhaps more difficult for disabled people, busy busy busy, lots of sellers and beggars, STRIKES

...Trying to find your way around any capital city is no mean feat and forward planning is always advisable. So I hope to be able to share some of my knowledge of getting around Paris, having spent 9 months living there and having visited on numerous occasions. BY AIR: -One great way of seeing any city is from the air, and it is possible to take helicopter tours over the city. They're pretty pricey though - one quote I found was ?250 for adults, ?220 for children. Flying is also a popular way of getting to Paris. Paris has three airports - Roissy Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Beauvais Tillé. * Beauvais Tillé, from what I've heard, is rather a pathetic excuse for an airport and is actually situated some 53 miles north of Paris! If you're flying with Ryanair you'll almost certainly end up here, so it's worth making you sure you know...
