arioso hotel near 8th arrondissement-elysee,paris g guest user 2024.04.07 i cannot begin to say how absolutely fantastic hotel arioso was for. the first moment i contacted them to the moment we left. i wanted to take my husband to paris for a surprise birthday trip and contacted a number of hotels to check availability and see how they responded. hotel arioso was, by a mile, the quickest, friendliest and most helpful response. they went out of their way to make me feel that we would be most welcome and they would do what they could to make our trip as special as i wanted it to be. the first person i spoke to, emanuelle, was absolutely lovely and answered all my questions extremely quickly. she acknowledged that it was my husband鈥檚 birthday and let me know there would be a little surprise waiting for him. it became quickly apparent that hotel arioso was far more friendly than other hotels i had contacted and seemed to really care that we stayed there and that we would have a wonderful time. i booked and then started speaking to sana. sana was beyond incredible. she answered my numerous questions about transport, restaurants, proximity to places i wanted to visit and nothing was too much trouble for her. when we arrived we were delighted to discover a stunning little boutique hotel on a quiet street in one of the best parts of paris, less than ten minutes walk from the palais garnier in the opera district (where i had booked tickets for us to spend the evening at the ballet) and galleries lafayette. sana gave us the warmest welcome possible and made us feel she was genuinely delighted to meet us. we went up to our room, small but beautiful and extremely clean and comfortable with everything we could possibly need. on the bed they had put a delightful birthday package together for my husband of balloons, macarons, sweets and other parisian treats. breakfast was excellent. everything was fresh and of the very best quality. i have stayed in a few hotels in various parts of france over the past year and breakfasts have generally not been great but the breakfast at hotel arioso was extremely good and the exception. i honestly cannot praise this hotel and its staff more highly and recommend it without any hesitation whatsoever. show more excellent 40 reviews 4.4 /5 price from us$113 per nignt check availability
