Hôtel du Danube Saint Germain

I had 5 days to spend in Paris, and this hotel looked amazing from the photos and location. Its very close to a metro station (but not too close) as well as several good restaurants, a laundromat, and many sights. I actually missed a flight and when I messaged them through booking.com they responded very quickly and informed me they would not cancel my stay and it was no problem which was such a relief. I stayed in the most inexpensive style room, which was fine for me as a single person but it may be a bit tight for 2 people and luggage. Everything was very clean, I felt very comfortable. I stayed during an extreme heatwave and there wasn't AC in the room (there was in the lobby) but it still was comfortable with a fan and window open, which faced a quiet courtyard. The staff spoke English well and were very polite. I really enjoyed my stay and because of the location if I return to Paris I would very likely stay here again, the price and location made it a great stay.

I would say the only thing of note that may be of concern is the elevator is pretty old fashioned and rather small. The note on the elevator says it can only handle 2 people and 2 suitcases at a time. However, you're not in an elevator for more than 30 seconds so its not really an issue. It was reliable and the hotel is not too tall, so the stairs wouldn't be extreme if they needed to be taken. Everything else was great.

The service, the lovely communication, the attention to detail, the fantastic and quiet room

Nothing

Great location

This hotel was really nice 10 years ago but it really needs a renovation. Elevator was broken. No A/C in single rooms.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and consistently helpful throughout my stay. The room was charming, comfortable, and well-sized, and the bathroom was clean and well maintained. The breakfast was enjoyable, and the breakfast team was particularly hospitable and attentive, making each morning a pleasant experience.

There were a few areas where the experience could be improved. I had expected my water bottle to be refilled daily and needed to visit reception to have this done. The television in my room was not working; although I reported the issue to the night staff, it was not resolved during my stay. My room telephone also did not work initially, but this was promptly fixed once reported. I noticed some dust on parts of the desk, and additional lighting in the room would have made the space feel brighter and more inviting. On one occasion, I also had to request toilet paper and a shower mat, which I would have expected to be replenished during routine housekeeping.
