Hôtel Daval

This is a sweet and simple hotel in a perfect location. The rooms are small but they are clean, they don't smell, they are well appointed. We were given enough towels but not enough space to dry them, which is common in hotels these days. The elevator is indeed small so it's not a place for people with epic luggage or mobility limitations. The location cannot be beaten in a vibrant neighbourhood close to many Parisian enjoyments. It's very easy to find. Your key is left with reception when you go out for the day which I am quite happy with, but I suppose some fussy people might not enjoy.

Low value for money spent. If the price were lower I would consider this a higher starred stay. In comparison to the other places searched this was mid range and that blows my mind. But first, the location is great in the Bastille area of the 11th arrondissement. Lots of cafes, boutiques, bakeries, etc. nearby. We loved the service, the kindness and warmth of the front desk staff is such a great way to be welcomed to Paris after a long journey. The room felt very clean with crisp sheets but what ruined it was the sewage smell in the bathroom. It seems to have old pipes or missing a drain flap so the bad smells just radiate. The bathroom could use better ventilation in addition and a really deep clean to remove old stains of mold and mildew in the corners. A tough environment for those with sensitive lungs, asthma, or allergies. Opened the window a lot to the room to try to air it out and that didn’t work. I love to stay in old buildings and this one has so much potential to be charming like I’m sure it once was. The crooked stairway would be lovely without the old carpeting and showing the original flooring. The carpeted areas outside the room smell dank and could use ripping up. Come for the location and the surrounding nightlife. Probably not for a romantic stay though, considering the smell.

This hotel is very close to the Bastille metro, patisseries, and a supermarket etc which was really handy. The bed was comfy. The service staff were very nice. We decided against the breakfast as there is a very good patisserie just 3 shops down, and a creperie over the road. It needs a bit of tlc here and there which I think is common for Paris.There is a small but useful lift to go upstairs.

I stayed at Hotel Daval in Paris and overall, I give it 3 stars. The room wasn't the nicest or most practical — could have given 2 stars for that — but the staff and service were truly exceptional, worth 4 stars on their own. If you're not too picky about room comfort and you're looking for a convenient base to explore Paris, this is a great option. The location is excellent, right near métro ligne 1, which makes it super easy to get around the city. Would recommend it for easy-going travelers who value friendly service and a great location.

Nice room, nice staff. Horrible location unless you are a huge party person. Got no sleep in the three nights there due to very loud nightlife. If you like that atmosphere then it's a good hotel.

We spent four nights here. It was perfect for my husband, me, and our five year old son. Yes, the elevator is tiny. But the room is a great price, the staff is so kind and friendly, the hotel is clean and conveniently located. For someone in a wheelchair it probably wouldn’t work but it didn’t bother us to make an extra trip in the elevator with our big suitcase. We would stay here again.

Very much a 'get what you pay for experience' - the price and location were both fantastic. We booked a double room and arrived late on our first night. When we got to our room (first floor) I was very unhappy after the busy day and travel. The room was very clean but absolutely tiny, with only a small space down one side of the double bed to manoeuvre. There was a cupboard on the left of the double bed by the head space which clearly housed a water pipe or similar - everytime someone flushed or used their bathroom we'd hear the water rush by our heads. The noise from above and behind due to the staircase was unbelievable. It was so tiny we couldn't even open the suitcase, and the decor was shabby and dated. The bathroom was like an airplane toilet, tiny and plastic. After the first night I complained and to their credit, reception were very quick to get us moved into another double room, on the second floor. What a difference! This room had a bit more space around the bed, the decor was modern and fresh and the bathroom was lovely. I appreciate the staff going out of their way but was shocked that you can pay the same rate and get a completely different room experience. Unfortunately the issues with noise were exactly the same even after the move. ||Also, which I thought was odd, you had to leave your key with reception everytime you went out. Not necessarily a complaint but it was still odd. I wouldn't stay again but it was fine for 3 nights.

Perfect place with a lot of bars and restaurants not far. Subway at 4 min. Quiet. Nice clean room, surprising not small for Paris. Good bed. Employees were very nice. Funny very very small elevator. Breakfast okay but not huge and in a small room.

The hotel guest were very nice and helpful upon checkin/out. The hotel rooms are nice and cozy, small and to the point. Each room we had slept 3-5 people and it was only 2 of us.
