For $300+ per night, this hotel was really very nice. I booked it on a third party site and read the reviews about the email invoice needing to be paid. I made sure I got watched for the email in the days leading up to our visit and it worked out fine. We arrived in the afternoon and were able to check in and go up to our room immediately. We had the Notre Dame room on the top floor with a balcony that had tower views. I was a little sad we weren't in the end room that has the bedroom doors opening up to the tower, but it was still a nice view if you went out on the balcony in our room. The room itself was a little small, but I liked the shower and it was clean. The staff was also very nice during our stay, although we never interacted with anyone other than to check in and out. The elevator is rather small and there were several occasions in which we had to wait a long time for it. There's nice cafes literally downstairs from this hotel and it's in a great location. We used the subway, even with our luggage and it wasn't a bad walk. read more

Hôtel Duquesne Eiffel - View of the Eiffel Tower from our balcony. - Hotels Near Me - Paris, 75

This hotel is fraudulently charging customers for rooms they don't receive, and Alexander at the front desk bullies customers because apparently he has no supervisor who will hold him accountable. Two days before our trip, we were informed that the hotel had "double booked" our room, even though I had booked it 4 months prior, so they were downgrading us. After insisting that the 10% discount they offered (after my request for a refund) was not nearly appropriate, Melanie spoke with the manager and promised a full refund upon our arrival at the hotel. However, when Alexander checked us in, he refused to process the refund. I asked to speak to a manager -- or Melanie -- and he refused repeatedly. I showed him the email that said we would get a refund and asked to speak to someone who makes the decisions, and he said "I make the decisions," which I know isn't true, because he kept referring back to his boss. He insisted that he would not give us a refund or put us in touch with anyone who was actually in charge. This is wildly unacceptable from a hotel that charges $400 a night and claims to provide good customer service. It's fraudulent, and quite frankly, it's a scam. read more

My sister and I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Duquesne! Check in was quick and pleasant. Our room was ready early so that was appreciated. We stayed for two nights in room 38. I knew the rooms would be small based on reviews but it wasn't an issue. In fact, I think I stayed at a smaller size room in Tokyo! The most important factor is cleanliness and that it was. The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure is unrivaled of any place I've stayed in recent memory. Other notes -- there is a really small safe in the closet but you have to request a key from the front desk. There's complimentary water bottles, and shoe shine scrub in the bathroom! I had free breakfast as a booking perk which we took advantage of one morning. Located in the basement, there was a great spread of mostly continental fare but also cheeses and baguettes! Heh. My one gripe was that I was able to hear the other hotel rooms open and close, and the flushing in the bathroom from another floor. If staying again, I'd request a top floor. read more

This adorable little hotel is in a convenient location in Paris. It's a 5 minute walk to the nearest metro stop and about a 10 minute walk to the gorgeous Eiffel Tower! It's not a central location, but if you love to explore cities on foot, it's wonderful. We would set out walking from the hotel and then take the metro back. The staff is friendly and they speak great English (and politely suffered through my attempts at speaking French). They'll store your bags at the front desk if you have a later flight and want to sightsee that day. The hotel has a boutique feel and is cute and quaint. The neighborhood was fairly quiet and there are little shops and businesses around the corner, even a grocery store. The rooms are small as are most in Europe. Our room was in need of some TLC (cracked shower tiles, a mis-matched shower curtain: see photos) but it was clean and charming. The bed was comfortable and had nice linens. Rooms are equipped with free wi-fi and (of course) wine glasses and a bottle opener. This is a nice little hotel in Paris! read more

Excellent, great value, very quiet, clean hotel located in the heart of Paris. I am a very light sleeper and this hotel, located on a quiet side street, was so quiet I had zero problems sleeping. Clean room & the bathroom looked to be remodeled/new. The windows appeared to be triple paned(?) Excellent front desk staff & management. Cleaning staff, too. Special thanks/shout out to the young Asian woman at the front desk for her cheerful helpfulness; Patrick in the PM - thank you for ensuring our comfort. A wonderful gem of a hotel... essential to a successful Paris visit for me and hubby. Very highly recommend. read more

Very charming! The staff was super friendly and helpful, there was someone at the desk 24/7 which was great if you needed anything. They also spoke great english and answered all my questions. Centrally located to everything, metro, walking distance to restaurants, it was perfect for my needs. I was able to check in before 3 which was awesome. Only downside which was no big deal was the Hotel room was small and I did not have a view of the Eiffel tower which I thought was visible from every room. There was no outlet in the bathroom and the hair dryer was a little annoying to use because you have to press it on the entire time while drying and no long mirror anywhere in the room to see how your outfit looked for the day. Besides that, it was very nice. I enjoyed my stay. read more

My wife and I had the Hotel Duquesne Eiffel recommended from another very experienced traveler. We are so pleased we took her recommendation and booked four nights at this lovely hotel. We stayed in room 15, which was a "superior room" which was fairly spacious from what I came to understand about hotel rooms in Paris. We arrived after using the hotel shuttle service which was good. We had confirmed prior to our arrival that the shuttle was booked for our arrival time. When we arrived there was some bit of difficulty about knowing which door to be picked up from, but a quick call to the shuttle company cleared it up quickly. The drive once we were picked up (and picked up some more quests) took about 2 hours to get to the hotel. That was mostly due to a strike by one of the several hundred unions in France marching around the airport. (never did figure out which one) So be aware, it can take a long time to get to the hotel. Point of reference the time to get from hotel back to CDG airport was 35 minutes (on a weekend morning). When we arrived our room was not ready yet, which was not a big deal. We got there around noon or so, and were told we could expect to have our room ready around 2 pm at the latest. Both of us were hungry so we ate our first meal in Paris, at.......the Thai Palace restaurant, which turned out to be right below our room. Fantastic by the way. When we returned a little early our room was indeed ready. *The front desk staff is amazing! They took great care of us throughout our stay* Our room was nice, had a great view of the Eiffel Tower, being a corner room with two windows. The bathroom was in a separate room from the shower/sink/tub. The decor was pleasant and soothing. We went downstairs for the breakfast only once during our stay (first day woke up after breakfast) but did not eat it. It looked fine, but we are vegetarians/mostly plant based, and there really wasn't that much that we were interested in for the $13 Euro per person fee. It looked fine for those without our dietary restrictions. The staff was simply amazing and helpful to point out places to see or avoid, and were very kind in general. The location suited us well as we don't typically enjoy being "in the middle of it all" as it's simply not our style. The hotel is easy walking distance to the Eiffel Tower, and the vast majority of Paris' sights. Keep in mind that previous statement. We enjoy walking and truly experiencing, discovering, and absorbing new neighborhoods and sites others might not see. For others, the Metro stop is nearby, as is a bus stop. There are lots of Cafes and shops easily accessible around the hotel. Rue Cler is easily walkable, and the amazing shops and cafes it contains. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it. read more

I booked this hotel Oct. 25, 2022. Before leaving on my plane, I printed out all booking for my trip. On June 13th we flew out of LAX to London. We arrived on the 14th and got checked in to our hotel, ate dinner and went to bed. On June 15th, 5 am we were up getting ready meet an 8am bus to Windsor Castle. We get home from this tour and I have my first opportunity to check my 100s of emails. I see Reservation Canceled. It is from THE HOTEL DUQUESNE EIFFEL. I call in a panic, they canceled it because they sent me an email on June 14th the subject just said "Reservation". It informed me that my credit card did not go through and I needed to call to rectify. The guy was helpful and got me rebooked. Thank God!! So, I thought. The next morning, June 16th, we are getting off the tour bus at Warner Bros around 9 am and it is the Hotel calling me to tell me the guy made a mistake and my room had already been rebooked to someone else. They could call me to rectify their error but could not call me before canceling my reservation. I was on a plane, changing time zone, going straight into guided tours and the email they first sent only said "reservation" that certainly does give me any inclination that there is a problem. They just kept referring to the email, the mail. They email I did not read due to my travel and they certainly had my phone number to text or call me directly. Horrible business practice!!! I am a single mom traveling with her daughter. We are on a budget and being without a hotel in a foreign country is not ok. read more

Husband and I stayed here for five nights while visiting Paris. We were very pleased with the hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though a little small by American standards. We did our research and knew what to expect, so it wasn't an issue at all. The neighborhood is safe and very close to the Eiffel tower, Rue Cler, and Rue Saint Dominique. There are lots of good reasonably priced food options on both Rue Cler and Rue Saint Dominique, and a grocery store on the way to both where you can pick up inexpensive French wine to complete a Parisian style picnic to enjoy under the Eiffel tower or on the hotel patio. We walked pretty much everywhere during our time here. Notre Dame is about 40 min away on foot (through safe neighborhoods). Rue Cler is about 7 min away, rue Saint Dominique maybe about 15 min away, the Eiffel tower about 10 min away. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to anyone visiting Paris. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to get softer towels. read more

Hôtel Duquesne Eiffel - Dinner on the hotel patio put together from shops on Rue Cler. Seriously, you have to go there. So cute. - Hotels Near Me - Paris, 75

Small room come with great bed, firm pillows, shower was awesome and room service kept it tidy and fresh every day. Laetitia was awesome, very accommodating. Patrick was very conversational and speaks five languages, not uncommon for French people to speak three to five languages. Little things I liked was that the toilet was separate from the shower. They had the New York Times daily. And although I had to extend myself to view the Eiffel Tower oh what a view! Since France is divided into districts, Duquesne Hotel was located in District 7, the posh district. The hotel is central to excellent dining, markets and not pricey food as well. Overall if I had to do it again I'd go back and reserve the top floor this time to get a front view of The Eiffel Tower. Their customer service from Laetitia to Patrick to Abigail, she's from Kansas - was bar none the best treatment since I can remember. They are always helpful with tips on how to get around and where to dine, especially Laetitia where on my first day she pointed out where to go for hearty food. All I want to do is eat well. Duquesne Hotel is the best value your money can buy! 5 STARS!!! read more

I'll sum it up in a few bullet points: -Small lobby area, with an even smaller elevator to go up to rooms. -Room was clean, but VERY small. Smaller than other European hotels I've stayed in. - About a 10 min. walk to Eiffel Tower, but a little farther to The Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral. -Small, but comfortable bed. -Shower was soooo small, but gets the job done! - Free Wi-Fi :) read more

The eggs. Yes, the breakfast was delicious! Also, they brought me back my dinner jacket which I had left in the closet just before we got in the cab. And the location is excellent, with a bus stop outside to get to the Latin Quarter near Notre Dame easily, and a view (at least from our room) of the Eiffel Tower. The brasserie in front, L'Escapade, is excellent, there's a place (D'chez eux) serving frog legs 1/2 a block away, and Rue Cler is around the corner. Paris Museum Pass was available there, and the staff guided us through the problems caused by flooding and strikes. Let me start again, this is an excellent hotel with all the stars you really need, in a real Parisian neighborhood, with easy transport to all the sights, great service, delicious optional breakfast, and extremely comfortable beds. Highly recommended. read more

This was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. I've never had such friendly service from a hotel staff. The man that worked the front desk made my friends and I croissants the morning we were leaving because he found out that we had forgotten to get one during our time in Paris. The rooms were clean and were not small in comparison to some other hotel rooms that can be found in Paris. I will absolutely be returning to Paris and staying at this hotel. read more

Before I had book this hotel, I called to make sure that i had a Eiffel Tower view because I was going to propose to my gf here. If I wasn't guaranteed a Eiffel Tower view I would have booked somewhere else so they told me I would have the view. I was super exited because The view looked great from their pictures until i checked in today. I was given a room on the first floor with the view of the wall. I went back down but was told they are completely booked. I had booked 10 nights over 7 months ago with guarantee Eiffel Tower view. Shouldn't 10 nights guest have more priority? Did all the other guest book more than 7 months before? How did I get stuck with this? Disappointed. My first time in Paris and not off to a great start. read more

We had a standard room and stayed here for two nights. The room was a little small. The room and small bathroom were sparkling clean and the bed comfortable. We slept well The wall mounted TV was a good size with lots of channels in French and English. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great location! As stated elsewhere, you're only a few blocks to many very nice cafes and small shops. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Tip: The staff can book you airport transportation at a cost cheaper then then we found elsewhere. read more

This hotel was perfect for honeymoon (June 2013) - while our room was tiny, it was clean and comfortable (with a view of the Eiffel no less!), the front desk was always friendly and helpful, and the location was even better. Priorities. The Duquesne Eiffel is located a block away from the Ecole Militaire metro stop (a five minute walk along a safe street to the busy corner) in the 7th arondissment. This corner has a bunch of dining options as well as a Carrefour grocery store (think WINE/booze, packable picnic foods, and cheap snacks/chocolates to gift). The best perk? It is only a ten minute walk to the Rue Cler from this hotel - a famous market street with restaurants and variety of shops (cheese, chocolate, seafood, delis, flowers, etcetera). The room. Nicely appointed with clean linens and a really comfortable bed. There wasn't much room to walk around the large bed, much less set up our luggage. We had to push the desk into the corner to create a bit more space. The window that let in tons of natural light offered a view of the Eiffel and made up for the lack of size. The snacks (not free) weren't great, but with Carrefour five minutes away, this didn't matter. The bathroom didn't have enough sink space, but had enough room and good water pressure. The hotel. On the smaller side with a small elevator and free wifi. Quaint lobby, boutique-ish. Excellent service at the front desk - my husband enjoyed practicing his French while we received advice on the localities. We would definitely stay here again, but would also like to experience other arondissments. Recommended for its price as well. read more

My daughter and I stayed here for 6 nights and from check in to check out it was wonderful ! Everyone was extremely helpful with answering questions , giving suggestions and helping with transportation. The first 2 nights we were there we stayed in a very modest room but they needed to do work on our room and asked if we minded switching and upgraded us to a room with a balcony with the perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. I give them 5 stars hands down for hospitality, cleanliness and location. 10 minute walk to the Eiffel tower. read more

A wonderful hotel in a great neighborhood! We stayed here just after lockdown ended. The entire staff were amazing, friendly, and efficient. The rooms are great. Splurge a little and get one of the premium rooms with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Room 45 highly recommended! read more

This was an overall great experience, we stayed here for two nights in Paris. Our room was very small, but the price was around 100 euro or less per night which was cheaper than most decent Airbnb's we saw. It was also very clean, which I really appreciate, as I'm very sensitive to that. The location was close to the metro and 10 min walk to Eiffel Tower! The hotel staff was very nice and chatted with us each time we came in :) read more

We had a fabulous time staying here. It's not over priced and it's a great location to get around Paris. Alex at the front desk was great! He had great advice for us being in Paris the first time. He was very friendly and took really good care of us. I would definitely recommend staying at this Hotel if you are traveling to Paris. read more

Visited on September 11 to 13th, 2014. Great hotel with several rooms with views of the Eiffel Tower. My room had an excellent view from the balcony. I tried for one with a direct view from the bedroom but they book up early. The room was on the small side as with most Paris hotels it was clean and with a nice full bath. The staff was friendly and helpful. The lady who checked us in turned out to be American and from the mid-west. She gave us a great restaurant suggestion. Parking is a little far and not cheap; about 2 long blocks in the direction of the Eiffel Tower. I would return again; especially for a special occasion. My son and his girlfriend got engaged here on our balcony. read more

Let me start this review off by saying that this low star rating is mostly because of one employee. When we first arrived, two women were there to greet us. They were helpful and friendly, and even let us check our bags while we explored the city, as we had gotten there a little before our check in time. The room is small but clean, and the hotel is in a good location. The second day is where we had issues when they changed shifts. A dark haired young man was working the day. As we went to leave the hotel, the doors were locked. He took a few minutes but let us out eventually. He pushed a button at the desk. The second night, after walking around all day, we were ready to come back to the hotel to relax. The same dark haired young man was working the desk. As we approached the hotel, the door wouldn't open. It was locked again. He was with another customer, sitting at ten desk, but we rang the bell so he'd know we were there. The other customer pointed to us and told the man we were there. He left us standing outside for almost ten minutes. The customer kept motioning to us, but the man wouldn't let us in. After ten minutes, while still with the customer, he let us in....and didn't say sorry or address what had just happened. He just ignored us. We didn't have issues with the door on any other day we stayed. If they do lock it at night for security, he shouldn't have left us standing outside for ten minutes. There has to be a better system than that. The rest of the staff was kind and made the stay great. It's unfortunate the one man was so rude to us. It will deter us from booking here in the future read more

Our family stopover in Paris for five nights was made even better by this fantastic hotel. The rooms were great and the people even better from our early checkin to easy departure and everything in between. Beyond just the stay, I recommend the breakfast in the wonderful "cellar" room with a variety of standard breakfast fare (eggs, meat, breads) along with a great selection of unique pastries that make it an easy and great way to start the day. Once you are a ready to get on your way the hotel's location makes everything accessible either by foot to see the local attractions or the Metro for those places a bit further away with two stops within a very short walk. This was the perfect spot for our family of four (adjoining rooms, perfect!) but with a great selection of rooms it would be equally nice for couples or business travelers. Great job Hotel Duquesne Eiffel! I can't wait to come back. read more

I was really surprised when we arrived by just how awesome this place is. My mom booked the reservations based on a recommendation from a friend for the view of the Eiffel Tower and its proximity to the metro. From the moment we arrived, the service was tip top. They are so friendly here. Most speak english rather well and the others speak enough that we can communicate. The rooms are small but that is normal for Paris and well, most of Europe. We are really only in our rooms 2-3 hours awake each day so it wasn't an issue. On our first night, we found a Market, right by the Metro station Ecole' de Militaire and picked up some salami, fromage, wine and fruit. At a bakery a 1/2 mile from the hotel, we picked up fresh baguettes and pastries. We had toured the Eiffel Tower after arriving from the airport and since we were in room 55 with an amazing view of the Tower, we sat on the floor with the doors wide open, and had a picnic dinner, enjoying the tower as it was lit up for the night. The bath size took some getting used to. I stand 5'4" (64 in.) and I couldn't straighten my legs. My mom and I had a good laugh about it. So no luxurious baths but you'll be clean. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants, there are lots of great choices. In addition, you're 1/2 mile from a metro station, 1 1/2 miles from the Eiffel Tower and 2 miles from the Batobus on the Seine River. We averaged about 13 miles each day by foot while getting to/from monuments and in touring them, as we chose to use the local transportation over taxis or renting a car. The hotel concierge was very helpful in telling us where to get carnet for the metro and the fastest way to get to the Tower (as we got lost the first night). We never did have the breakfast. I have food allergies and just didn't want to bother with it. We also didn't like the price. We never went down to look so I'm not sure if the price makes sense in relation to what you are served. The bar downstairs though is awesome, whether for drinks or espresso. Overall, the Hotel felt like home. The view was a 5, the service a 5 and we slept like Old Man Time so the rooms were a 5. read more
