Grand Hotel Dore - Paris

I can't say enough about the staff at this hotel. All were accommodating, friendly, helpful, & went out of their way to give any advice needed in negotiating various aspects of our trip. They were professional & we new we could count on any of the staff to answer our questions, set up taxi service, etc. The room was spotless everyday. Somehow housekeeping […] seemed to know when we were there & when we had left, as they never once were in the way with the superior cleaning. The location can't be beat. All your needs can be met nearby, including transportation. Some things to be aware of: The mattress cover under the fitted sheet on the bed would not stay on & seemed to be made of some kinds of waterproof fabric as it made me sweat constantly. There was only a comforter on the bed, with no choice of a light sheet when it was overly warm. Although one of the reasons I chose this hotel was because of the promise of individual temperature control, the AC was not available (only heat) & the room was almost unbearably warm. Opening the windows with no screens brought in the occasional gnat. You couldn't open them more than a couple of inches due to the tight quarters. The shower partition, in place of a curtain or doors, made it tricky to shower as thoroughly as we are used to, especially when washing hair. These things might not be important to some travelers, & the tight quarters were not an issue for us particularly either. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives. Read more

The hote is located near a metro station, which makes it easy to move around Paris. The breakfast is very good! The rooms are quite small. The service was excellent.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I absolutely loved this hotel! It was less than a block from the Daumesnil metro station, surrounded by good restaurants, a laundry, a supermarket, and the absolute BEST bakery right next door. It's not in a high tourist area, which was perfect for us -- our Euros went just a little farther by staying here. And the people in the neighborhood were very […] nice and helpful. Get the breakfast included - tasty and fills you up long past lunch! The staff is warm and friendly and very attentive. The room we had was actually quite spacious feeling because of the wardrobe with lots of shelves, a desk/chair, and a luggage rack. Refrigerator and tea kettle in room made it easy to grab a snack between sightseeing outings and late at night. The bed is a little small (double) but very comfortable, and I think the bed size is pretty common in all Paris hotels. Air conditioning in the room and free internet - bliss! The only possible drawbacks: the view out our window wasn't exciting but that was okay with us. The shower door was odd - only covered half the tub, which required a bit of creativity to keep the floor from getting soaked. And if you have mobility problems, it might be a tight fit to get in the "other" side of the bed. You have to get in the more open side and roll over into place. I'm not sure about the sound proofing -- I think the room next to us was empty. But we slept soundly every night. Overall, I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else if we go to Paris again.

Pros: Good location close to metro and railway station. Nice and helpful English-speaking staff. Good breakfast (it was included in my price). A/C worked. Clean bathroom. Comfortable bed. Cons: beware of a really small shower cabin. It was OK for a small person like me (135 lb., 5'8"), but anybody closer to 200 lb will find it difficult to use. There […] was only a single electric outlet available. Curtains did not close all the way unless I used a clip. So it is either coffee maker or your laptop/phone charger, etc. A piece of aluminum lining fell off the shower cabin on the first use. Important: metro runs right under the building so you can hear and somewhat feel the trains going underground. Not too annoying, though, but it may be for more sound-sensitive people. Overall, I would use this hotel only if your options are limited. Read more

Excellent value.. great friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room in an excellent location in the middle of the old city close to Palace of the Popes and many good restaurants. Breakfast (extra charge) was a good value. Spacious room - thoroughly modern bath. Would definitely stay there again

This was my third visit to Paris, but my first in the summer. My new husband really needs A/C, so this was essential for a hotel we booked. I researched this hotel on Expedia reviews and other sites; the few negative reviews I came across were clearly from high-maintenance travelers who are incapable of adapting to differences between American and European […] accommodations. The staff at GHD were SOOO friendly, not to mention helpful. They made great restaurant recommendations, they printed vouchers for a last minute tour we booked online instead of sending us to an Internet cafe, and they consistently asked how we were enjoying our trip and our stay. We were always greeted with smiles, and they willingly spoke English with us (and were encouraging with our attempts to speak French). Breakfast was plentiful and offered much variety. The Metro is within plain view of the entrance, and convenient to access all the major spots without having to stay in the heart of the city. Our rooms were always immaculate, our toiletries and coffee/tea were replenished regularly, and the hotel was quiet at night. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Paris, and I would definitely stay there again in the future! I wholeheartedly Read more

I read the reviews in advance of my reservation so I had good expectations of this place. The location is really good - only 1 minute walk to the subway entrance. Breakfast is plentiful and in an all you can eat format, which is good because food in Paris is so expensive. The dining area only has 4 tables of 4 though, so you may share your breakfast […] table with others - not a big deal though. The rooms are clean and for me, and that's the most important thing. I don't mind that they rooms are small, but there was only one electrical outlet in the whole room, and it wasn't in the bathroom so every night when we had to recharge our devices, there was some juggling around to do. As well, you won't be able to use your razor in the bathroom where there a mirror. The biggest downside (and why I didn't give 5/5) is that you could hear the subway clearly the whole night every time it passed under the hotel. We were on the "first" floor, so maybe if you're higher it's OK. Anyway, we were so tired everyday it didn't bother us that much. All in all, I would definitely return to this hotel next time I'm in town if the price is right! Read more

Great little hotel next to the Metro with cosy clean rooms and a good buffet breakast. Would definitely recommend

Genuine Expedia guest review

Clean, nice staff, good breakfast even though it was the same every day, really good location, nice neihbourhood close to metrolines #6 & #8 which got you everywhere you needed to go. The room was very small but clean and we just needed a good bed to sleep in, a good shower and a good breakfast to start the long days of touring. The elevator was just […] large enough for two suitcases and one person, so keep that in mind if you are not mobile enough to climb stairs. Read more

Excellent value, with friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom excellent, modern suite, full size bath and shower. Very good continental breakfast.

Arrived late on Friday 21st , Staff where helpful only issue with the hotel is its very small , the rooms are tiny and you can hear everyone speaking. Aircon is loud as well The hotel is not central at all , so be prepared for a 30min train journey overall an ok experience

Excellent stay at this hotel. Rooms although not large, were well appointed and comfortable. Very clean. Handy in room safe, fridge, tea & coffee making facilities. Breakfast was plentiful, we went down at 8am every day and had no problem getting a seat. Very close to the Daumesnil metro station. An excellent base for our trip to Paris.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We wanted a city break in Paris where we could see all the main highlights and other attractions. When we got there at 8am our room wasn't ready so they let us keep our luggage at the hotel and gave us guides and information on the metromap and what is available so we could make our own decision. The Daumensil RER metro is literally 2 minutes away and […] is on line 6 and 8. It didn't take long to understand the changes we would make to go to certain areas and infact we enjoyed the experience of living like a Parisian. One of the lines can't remember which has Champ-elysees, The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame all directly lined up. Yes the hotel is a bit out but we managed to get into the main city centre within 10 minutes. We never took a cab within a city. But we got a 2 day hop on hop off bus which cost only 19 euros and took us to all the places that might have been longer to get to via metro. We got the day pass metro which was 6 euros 40 for the entire day per person this was far more economical than the paris visite pass which is 9-10 euros! Overall most of our money went into the restaurants which were pricey as expected! The hotel might not be as central but it has excellent transport links which gives u a true idea of how Parisians live and is also in a quite area so we managed to get good nights sleep! The staff will help you and book whatever you want! We booked a day in versailles with them with no hesitation! Hope that helps! Read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Small rooms but all you need. Close to useful metro st. Highly recommended.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We used the hotel for an overnight break on our journey from England to Italy and we needed to catch an early morning train from Gare de Lyon. It was not just round the corner, as we had imagined and it was necessary to take a taxi to the station. Still, at the price, it was worth it as the hotel proved to be comfortable, with very helpful staff, an […] excellent quality breakfast and a couple of restaurants nearby. Our room was quite small, but perfectly adequate for one night. An excellent shower, a lift and just 10 Euros for the taxi.Overall great value for money in Paris! Read more

The Grand Hotel Dore was a pleasant suprise. Located in Daumesnil which although is out of the centre of town, with the Metro station literally on the doorstep of the hotel, you are never more than 15 mins from all the main attractions. The room itself was very small but I think that is standard in Paris. The bathroom was of a good standard and was […] almost as big as the room itself. The breakfast included in the rate was continental and we always left full! Staff were friendly and spoke English to a very good standard. The area of Dausmenil itself has a few brasseries and boulangeries so you can eat locally if you do not fancy a trip into town one evening. Thoroughly impressed and would definitely go back.

This hotel is VERY close to two key metro lines (6&8) which, if you are not a walker, you will need to access to make your way around the rest of Paris. Not be missed is the elevated walkway down Daumesnil to the Bastille. Wonderful! The room we had was very small. Next time, I'd try for 101, 209, 317, 425, 533 or 641. Although, one is not often in […] the hotel room while in Paris! Read more

This hotel is very nice and clean with comfortable beds and close to metro station (Daumesnil) and bus #29 route. It took us just under 1 hour to take metro to CDG airport. Very nice staff with great continental buffet breakfast. It is in a quieter area of Paris close to some nice restaurants (le Petit Troo) and Boulangeries. The staff were very friendly […] and helpful getting us oriented. Also the A/C was very effective and quiet. The room was quiet even though we faced the street. A few negatives: the lift was noisy at times and the shower is really small, even for European standards. Overall a great experience for our five day trip to Paris. Read more

Grand Hotel Dore is a lovely hotel with convenient location 50m away from the Metro with 2 lines. The English speaking staff was very friendly, though sometimes the English of the Autie was not very good. The hotel is clean and quiet, with everything we needed. But it was very very small. One double bed and it almost filled the whole room. One great […] thing I would like to mention is that we were able to cancel one day booking (because of flight delay), even though deadline had passed. In conclusion, we had a pleasant stay.

Olimme perhelomalla ja meillä oli 3 hengen huone, vaikka huone oli pienehkö, niin se oli siisti ja rauhallinen (5.krs ja sisäpihan puolella). Mannermainen aamupala oli yllättävän hyvä. Metroon oli kävelymatkaa alle 100m. Henkilökunta oli hyvin ystävällistä ja englannilla pärjäsi hyvin. Huoneessa oli vedenkeitin ja minibaaria saattoi käyttää jääkaappina. […] Lähistöllä oli pari isompaa kauppaa ja ravintoloita useampia. Menisin uudestaan. Read more

別のホテルと混同したので以下のように訂正。 メトロの駅（Daumesnell）から１分。鉄道パリ・リヨン駅からバスで５分。場所としては便利。かなり賑やかな市街地にあるが、部屋内は静か。値段の割には部屋があまり広くなく、家具等も質素だが、パリではやむを得ないだろう。豪華さを求めない実用性を重視する人なら問題ない。

Das Hotel liegt gleich neben einer Metrostation der Linien 6 und 8 und dadurch für Stadtbesichtigungen ideal.
