Dupond-Smith

"Joan and I had the pleasure staying at the Dupond-Smith Hotel for two days in April before our river cruise and two days in May after our cruise. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Paris. The location is excellent, in the Marais District which still has that old town charm with the narrow streets and cafes everywhere. You are within walking distance to the famous landmarks and also close to the metro and the train. This hotel is a boutique style and only has two rooms per floor. You cannot hear noise from the street nor from other rooms. The suites are large and have king size beds with luxurious bedding and the beds are very comfortable with ample pillows. There is a table and two chairs, a large screen TV, large closet with ample storage and the bathrooms are very roomy with a large shower, rain shower head and a shower wand. The suite come with robes and slippers and heated towel racks. if you choose the breakfast option, you wont be disappointed. You can have your breakfast delivered or eat in the cozy breakfast nook. We had a cheese omelet every morning and helped ourselves to the buffet. There is a selection of breads, preserves, meats, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, juice, pastries, and a toaster if you prefer your bread toasted. You can also have your choice of coffee, cappuccino or other hot drinks of your choosing. We interacted with most of the concierges and staff and all were very helpful and professional. We had the most interaction with Nicolas who was a very charming man who went above and beyond to assist us in finding various locations. and also helped us with transportation when our ride didn't show up. Nicolas also provided us with handy maps and outlined certain routes from our hotel to certain destinations and recommended places to eat. There are always sweet treats at the front desk to nibble on and are made by the staff at the hotel. If we are back in Paris, this would be our recommendation. Thanks very much to Nicolas, Micky, Arthus, Christophe and Moira..hope I didn't miss anyone as every staff member was a delight."

"A fantastic hotel in the centre of Marais, beside all the cafés and restaurants."

"Wonderful small Boutique Hotel in the middle of Marais. Only eight rooms, taylor made breakfast, complimentary coffee and tea during the day, nice rooms. Nicholas - the manager and concierge - is the most lovely person we have met in a long time. Extremely friendly, attentive, patient and a good listener. He is wonderful and made our stay great!!"
