Hotel Daval

The room was tiny, and there were no slippers or toiletries, which I guess is due to how expensive the land is here. The location is good though, with a subway station nearby. It gets pretty lively downstairs at night, with people still drinking until 3 or 4 AM.

This was a generally clean hotel! It felt like a slightly larger version of a typical Japanese business hotel. When we went out, we had to leave our key at the front desk, which was a bit of an old-fashioned system. The air conditioning only blew cold air, so when I mentioned it to the front desk, they told me to use the heater. It was warm when we returned after leaving the heater on, but it got a little chilly while sleeping. The hot water worked fine, water pressure was normal, and there were no issues with the shower at all! We only booked this hotel for the day we were exploring the Le Marais district. I think it might be a bit inconvenient for a multi-day stay if you're planning to see all of Paris, but it's perfectly sufficient if you're just focusing on the Le Marais area. Be aware that the nearest station (from what I saw) doesn't have escalators or elevators, and the surrounding area has Paris's characteristic cobblestone streets, so those with large suitcases should be careful! It could be tough, especially for groups of women traveling alone.

This hotel is a must-stay, thanks to its professional and friendly staff. It's within walking distance of attractions like Notre Dame, the Pantheon, and the Louvre. The rooms are quite small, but that's generally the case in Paris. The street it's on is bustling and close to markets, cafes, and many dining options. I'd definitely recommend it.

Had a very good stay, very respectful and clean. Nothing to complain about, and there are plenty of shops all around.
