Having found this hotel extolled in a (formerly) trusted guidebook, and affirming that review with comments on this site, we booked for our anniversary weekend. We arrived at the gloomy lobby at ten at night, where the clerk offered nothing in greeting and nothing more than grunts in response to ours. The lift jerked its way ominously up the floors,... more

Our younger daughter was studying abroad in Rennes and she met us in Paris. Our older daughter and her boyfriend also traveled with us. We had booked two rooms. One for daughter and boyfriend, which was small but very cute. The other room was for my husband, me and our other daughter (college student). We asked for an additional roll-away... more

I stayed for over a week here recently and booked solely on reviews on Trip Advisor, and the comment of a friend in Paris who said it "looked nice." Well it does - but those reviewers who say it is quiet are totally wrong, I requested an interior room at first for a quiet stay but was - if not... more

just stayed here a few days ago and would definitely recommend. The rooms have a nice balance of updated decor and old world charm. The location is within walking distance of the Louvre, Notre Dame as well as sights in the Latin Quarter and St. Germaine des Pres. the rooms are quite small however. We had a superior and still... more

Just returned last night from an 8 day stay at the Dauphine with my husband. This recent visit marks our 7th or 8th stay at the hotel - and we're still as delighted with it as always. Our room was located on the 5th floor (we've now stayed on every floor!) and was comfortable, extremely well kept, clean, and welcoming.... more

Staff here is wonderful, but the room was a bit smaller then most I have been in within Paris. Everything was clean and had a very nice large bathroom. Breakfast was standard Parisian hotel fare but alot of wonderful cafes nearby. Pricing was cheap considering the very central location to the major areas of Paris nightlife (at least on the... more

What all the other reviews are saying is true, and your experience depends a lot on which room you are given. They are not all the same, and the unusual arrangement of some rooms being below the elevator landing makes it awkward for some. Having read about that feature here, I was careful to ask for a room which didn't... more

We stayed here the first weekend in April. Seriously, we have never felt as welcome as we were here. We have stayed in many hotels in Paris, but this was the best. The room is small, but aren't all rooms in Paris? The only complaint is that we had to choose between warm still air at night or street noise.... more
