Da Vinci Hotel & Spa

This experience has stayed with me for 2 years, and I feel compelled to finally leave this review. On arrival, we were abruptly told at reception that our room was “no longer available” and that we had supposedly been informed by email. We had received no such email. When we asked to see proof of this communication, none could be produced. The reception staff were dismissive and arrogant whenever I expressed concern. We were repeatedly told not to worry because accommodation “around the corner” had been arranged for the same price and that we could still pop in to use the spa in da Vinci hotel!! There was no second means of contact tried such as a phone call. We were simply informed of this after showing up, luggage in hand, in a foreign city as two 19 year olds. This alternative accommodation was absolutely not equivalent to a 4-star hotel. The building was noisy, the floors creaked constantly, and our room was beside the stairs, meaning we could hear guests all night. It felt like this was not an isolated incident, but rather an arrangement between the two properties — particularly when the hotel is busy or accommodating higher-paying guests — with overflow quietly redirected elsewhere without proper notice. We were young at the time and it genuinely felt like we were treated as expendable rather than valued, paying guests. The lack of professionalism, transparency, and empathy was unacceptable. I would strongly advise others to think twice before booking as it threw our whole holiday off.

I stayed here back in April (2025). It is a cute boutique hotel, in an ideal location. A nice touch was that the lobby always had a selection of refreshments and sweet treats for the guests. However, the main reason I wanted to post a review was to compliment the front desk service. My trip was a very last minute business trip with little time to plan, but the lady at the front desk was very helpful with things like ordering taxis, providing directions, and even booking salon service at a local business. My taxi driver even complimented her level of helpfulness and attention (perhaps unusual for Paris)? I gave 4/5 for the room, but only because my particular room was a little small compared to some countries’ standards. Otherwise, the rooms were nice and the photos are representative.

Reception and house staff are very focussed on warm welcome and relevant support and information. Very charming front of house and lobby area. Great rooms, well serviced, clean, neat and also good service support for tourist inquiries. Breakfast room overlooks frontage and main street. Hotel is extremely convenient to bus and Metro transport links, going North of the Seine, and across town to commercial and museum venues. Navigation through districts very simple. Local area a marvel of designer shops, high couture emporium, many great local dining venues along boulevarde and main street. You will feel spoiled and very much ,'at home'..enjoy.

If you want to stay in a quiet residential and upscale shopping area that is close to Musee d'Orsay and the Seine, Hotel Da Vinci is perfect.||The hotel is small but with a big personality. Very comfy and quiet plus staffed by a team who really cares about their customers. Helene at reception never tired of sharing local information and her restaurant tips met with our approval. ||The rooms are small but efficiently arranged and the bath provided enough room for toiletries plus provided as much hot water as one could want for a bath and/or shower. The beds and the linens are high quality and comfortable.||The public areas are divided into a reception area and a breakfast room that becomes an honor bar in the evening. Tables can be used also if one brings in a sandwich or street food. The entire hotel is remarkably clean.||The breakfast was adequate and offered a variety of fresh fruits, breads, cheeses and warm options as well. A small buffet but presented nicely. The place settings are Rosenthal and with linen napkins. Many pleasing details in the hotel. The breakfast room also has a coffee machine allowing for a cappuccino or whatever throughout the day. A large selection of teas as well is available.||The spa area is secluded on the lower floor and while I did not use it, my travel partner did and found it quiet, almost glamourous, and relaxing. Basic bathing suits are provided if needed at a low cost.||A great footprint for your stay in Paris!|||After a day of exploring the Paris sites, retreating to the hotel was always a treat. Also many treats nearly next door with a small food shop complete with fresh pastries.

We absolutely loved this hotel and its location. We used the hotel for a place to rest as we were gone most of the day exploring. The breakfast was great with selections of meats, cheeses, and other continental foods. Coffee was great! This area doubled as a lounge where you could have a honor bar, self serve drink. There were many restaurants and shops as well as attractions to see. Could not tell you if they had a pool or other amenities that people who like to camp out at their hotel might seek. We would definitely stay here again! The staff was friendly and helpful!

Boutique Hotel. Very enthusiastic and helpful staff. Well located in local sector with both gender fashion emporium. Significantly, ease of travel. Some goodblocal hostelry. Situated close to Musee D' Orsay and Seine and The Louvre walkable. A chic ambience, clean and popular with many european clientelle.

This is a great location, we walked almost everywhere we wanted to go. We got the 17sm room and it was spacious enough for us to feel comfortable and relax. It was clean and organized. Self serve bar was a nice touch after a long day and the breakfast spread was delightful! We booked the SPA for every night and found it to be very relaxing either before preparing for dinner or an after dinner wind down the spa was a nice touch! The staff was always helpful and took care of every request we made with joy.

The location was excellent—within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The room was lovely, and I especially loved the balcony. Everything was sparkling clean, and we were welcomed with a bottle of bubbly, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that the spa water wasn’t hot enough. Also, when I asked to borrow an adaptor, the front desk offered to sell me a new one instead, which felt unusual for this kind of property.

Small hotel with interesting history. It is centrally located and a 5 min walk to Louvre. Staff was super friendly. Rooms are comfy but small. Champagne awaits you to be enjoyed on your balcony. Continental Breakfast is included and drinks are available all day using an honor system

Da Vinci is a great little boutique hotel where the staff speaks English, so there was never a language barrier. Each room has a theme or story to it and we stayed in the Vincenzo Peruggia, a man who stole the Mona Lisa in 1911 and hid the paining in that exact room for two years. We arrived during the morning, so the room they had reserved for us, was not ready - that is how we happened to get the Peruggia room. It was the only room available and I really needed sleep. I had the worst case of jet lag. The queen sized bed was mostly comfortable, but the pillows immediately went flat. This room also has a skylight that can be opened to let some fresh air in, I would have used it, but I was afraid a bird would fly in, so we only opened the shade to allow the natural light. I love the heated towel rack in the bathroom, but it takes a while for the rack to heat itself up, but it was really nice that the watered heated up immediately. The soaps and lotions they provide smell like spiced cider, I believe the brand was Roberto Cavalli. The hotel is super quiet and the staff makes themselves as helpful as possible. It's located within walking distance of the Louvre,high end shopping, there's a small market next door and a full size grocery store, the Monoprix, is just a few blocks away. The Da Vinci is centrally located to all kinds of eateries and cafes. The hotel offers a continental breakfast and afternoon tea, as well as an honesty bar at night; the honesty bar is where you can drink anything from the hotel's bar, mark what you drank on a receipt and provide the receipt to the front desk, so the hotel can add that to your final bill. My first stay in Paris was great and the Da Vinci provided a pleasant experience.

I stayed at Hotel Da Vinci in April with a dear friend from California. We had two rooms across from one another, both rooms were clean, well appointed and super quiet. I go to Paris at least three times a year as my husband and I live in Italy. I had never stayed at the Hotel da Vinci before, but we always stay in the 6th arrondisement. First, the staff at the hotel are exceptional. They did everything to make our stay comfortable and were so available for questions, suggestions and anything we needed. The people that work at the hotel MAKE the hotel special. There are many cute little hotels in Paris, many. However, the people that work at Hotel Da Vinci are the BEST. My only STRONG recommendation is that the hotel invests in a proper Espresso Bar Machine like La Marzocco. The coffee/espresso was so terrible (not drinkable) that I went to a cafe around the corner and brought our coffee into the breakfast room in the mornings. If Hotel da VInci makes this one change, it would be a great asset to the hotel.

Location. Location. Location. The staff speaks perfect English. Nice little breakfast in the lobby for an upcharge. the private spa in the basement is a gem, but you'll need to reserve early. One of the nicer boutique hotels in the city.

We stayed for one night in Paris en route to another city. We read many reviews and settled upon the Hotel Da Vinci. What a little gem! Location: wonderful. Great shops and restaurants around. We actually did a tour through Context Travel (highly recommend) and they meet a block away. We didn't plan on that-- but just a testament to the incredible location. Staff: the people who work in this hotel are absolutely 5 star. They were kind, attentive and treated us very well. As Americans, they helped us navigate the area. The amenities: the rooms are small but well appointed. Comfortable bed, nice soaps and shampoos, champagne upon arrival, everything was perfect. Just a tip: be sure to reserve the private pool for an hour! It was the cherry on top of a romantic night!

This was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. Highly recommend. They thought of every little detail and made us feel at home. The spa downstairs was heavenly for the hour we spent there and the breakfast was delicious. The room and bed were comfortable and the bath was huge! Will be back whenever i stay in Paris.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Da Vinci in November 2014. We were nervous about booking a room because the hotel was very new and didn't have any reviews yet. We were so happy we took the chance and booked it. Great location. We stayed in one of the Inventions Rooms and it was very nice. During our stay we reserved the relaxation pool, which was small but beautiful. The entire hotel is beautifully decorated and the hotel staff were very nice. We would highly recommend staying at the Hotel Da Vinci. It is a hidden gem in Paris.

This is an amazing hotel and the staff is even better! Everyone there treats you like royalty and they will go extremely out of their way to help you out and make sure that all of your needs are met. It was my honeymoon and they provided us with a bottle of champagne when we arrived. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort and excellent service. Also, only a 3 minute walk to the louve!

Beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Paris! From the moment we checked in the front desk ladies were super friendly accommodating and excited we were staying with for our anniversary. I had emailed them before asking for an early check in as we were flying in early arriving at the hotel around 10am, which normal check is around 3pm. Well not only could we check in early but they had upgraded our room and had a bottle of champagne with a personalized note sent to our room! Great way to kick off our European trip! We also booked our spa time at the grotto which the hotel offers to their guest an entire private session perfect after walking around or to help with jetlag. Our room was super comfortable, great water pressure, very clean, loved the toiletries and quiet! The lobby was cozy with antique decor, cozy fireplace and little cafe we enjoyed breakfast in. The location is ideal with two close by metro stations. The front desk ladies and overall vibe of this hotel made our stay memorable and great way to kick off our Paris part of our trip! I'd highly recommend it for a romantic stay. Thank you for being so warm to us! See you again on our next stay:)

The location is great as are the amenities. Very modern, yet elegant and classy. The staff and service make this hotel outstanding. The people who work here must truly enjoy what they do, because it's too hard to fake that kind of joy; it certainly comes across to the guests. We loved every second here and would certainly come back. Tip: Make sure to reserve the spa- it's well worth your time.

Perfect spot for our recent Paris trip. Great location, staff was very very friendly and very helpful with restaurant recommendations and getting us the occasinal taxi. Loved the history of the hotel. We stayed in the of the Michlangelo rooms. A bit bit small but what could be expected in an old building in an old city! Either way our room was beautiful. Only tried the cafe and pastries for breakfast. Both were top notch. Oh and be sure to try the sandwich shop located adjacent to the hotel (no affiliation). For about 5 euro you'll get a great baguette sandwich and a drink!

There is no way this is a four or five star hotel. Tiny rooms, no restaurant, depressing dated common areas, spotty wifi, no cable and worst of all - NO AIR CONDITIONING! Can you imagine a four or five star hotel with no air conditioning? Me neither.......

We absolutely loved our time at Hotel DaVinci. Everything is top quality from the room to the breakfast to the service. Couldn't have been better in any way. Comfy bed, beautiful bathroom, rainfall shower heads, quiet A/C. The location (a block south of the Seine near The Louvre) is central to much of the city and several metro stops. No need to rent a car if you stay here.

In the heart of the city centered perfectly between most of the major attractions--Louvre, Notre Dame, Musée D'Orsay, Saint-Sulpice, Saint-Chappell, Luxembourg Gardens, Tuileries Gardens, Champs-Élysées all easily reached by foot. Tons of food options within walking distance. Service was impeccable with well informed hosts. Would stay here again the next chance France is on the travel plan.
