Hotel Darcet

The place was perfectly clean, comfortable, and surprisingly good value. The shower was big and comfortable and it was such a nice place to return to after long days of touring.

It would be nice to control the temperature of our room by ourselves because it was very hot in the room and having the windows open let in a lot of noise and rainwater.

Staff is very friendly. They provide a 1,5 liter drinking water at check-in and also free unlimited tea and coffee during your stay. Hotel is 2 minutes walk from the metro station. There are very nice cafe's and restaurants around. Room is small but very clean.

The lift is very tiny. Only 1 person fits with a luggage. No minibar in the room.

I had a great stay at Hotel Darcet. The room was fairly basic but super clean. The staff was always pleasant and happy to help. They had a small kitchen available which had glasses and utensils and they held my bags on checkout day so I could sightsee more. I was very happy.

They don't have a restaurant but they have a dining room where you can eat your meal so you don't have to eat in your room and here they offer free coffee and tea which is a really nice touch in a city where a coffee starts at €5-6. Also they have a kitchen where one can cook if one wants to. The staff is extremely helpful and they English is great, so it's not spoken English words with French pronounciation. It is rare in Paris. Don't get fooled by the photos of an old faucet, the hotel is really really clean and they offer a great experience for those who want accommodation close to the center at a reasonable price.

The only thing I can mention that I wish the twin beds were joint and not slide apart but I suppose if I had asked the staff would have had a solution for that too.
