Hôtel Daval, Paris

The rooms are exactly the same size and condition as hotels that are more than double the price. Paris hotel bathrooms are small, these are tiny but just fine. It is the only hotel at this price point with air conditioning. All of the staff are friendly, helpfull & speak English. The metro at Bastille is very close & many main bus routes. There are a lot of great resturants and cafes within 2 blocks. Even the only Subway & McDonalds that I have foubd in Paris. Warning - the crepes at La Crêperie Bastille are addictive, large, and far better then any other place. OMG the breakfest crepes are the best in my life. I think negative reviews about the room size are North Americans who have not stayed in hotels of Europe before. Mine was larger then most hotels that I have stayed in Europe. My room was spotless clean. They have an elevator  (it's small but works), yet many hotels in Paris do not have an elevator at all. Staff accommodated me with advise, simple things like a coffee cup in my room, and a late checkout at 1:30 pm. I have tried other hotels priced much higher in the area and I keep coming back to Hotel Daval.

The hotel itself was fine. Small, but manageable. The biggest issue we had was the street noise. Friday and Saturday nights were very loud due to nearby clubs. We are generally tolerant to noise, but this was a lot and it affected our sleep. Otherwise, on a Sunday night, this hotel was perfect for our needs. Good location, near the metro, friendly staff.

Room was tiny but clean and comfortable, bit noisy and have a great area close by for food and Metro is 1 block away

Alexandra at the front desk was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great neighborhood.

Centre of a great district, easy walk to everywhere. Good staff and good environment.
