Working with Kim Kim and Lucie was a real pleasure. This was our first trip to France and having someone to work with to help navigate the area gave our group and our kids back home real piece of mind. Our tour guide Bridgette was an absolute delight! We spent a full day with here for a Lueberon Tour and one day on a great wine tour. When we arrive in Paris, we have a slight glitch at the 9Hotel Opera! The elevator was out of order when we arrived and being on the 5th floor was a tough climb, but we forged ahead. The elevator was repair the next day so it all worked out. The bed was very very comfortable and the staff was very nice. The daily breakfast which was included with our stay was excellent!!!!
We had a wonderful tour of Nortre Dame. Our guide Laurent was the best, very knowledgable and personable. The whole France experience was wonderful!!! Thank you Kim Kim and Lucie

Hotel Review
Le 9Hotel Opera
Paris

I would have given it 5 stars, but when we arrive the elevator was out of order and we had climb 5 flights (92 stairs) to get to our room the first night. The room was small, but that is unusual for the type of hotel.. Very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Great shower!!!!!!

Thank you so much Carol for this great review. I am so happy that planning this trip with kimkim at the last minute made it easy for you.
I am glad that you had such a nice time with our guide around Luberon and Rhone Valley. That's so nice to read. And same for the tour in Paris.
Again, I am so sorry that you had a bad experience at the hotel, because the lift was out of service. But it's good that it came back all in order.
I'd love to help you planning a new trip in case you come back to France. Do not hesitate to reach out.
I wish you the best.
Lucie
