What this hotel is/has: - Good location. Central, but yet in a residential area, lots of bars/restaurants/shops nearby - Spotlessly clean - Pleasant, friendly staff - Free wireless internet (although in our room (42) the connection was a bit unstable), plus a flat screen TV - Bathroom amenities, something which is not all that common in basic budget hotels -...

We spent three very comfortable nights during a hot September week. The hotel was recommended by a colleague who says this is his regular pied-a-terre when in Paris and if you need to be in this part of town, I would certainly recommend the Daval. It's tucked away at the side of the Place de la Bastille. Maybe not the... More

Pros: Good location. Decent sized room and bathroom for the price. Very clean. GREAT SERVICE, they even helped me book a dentist appointment when I cracked a filling! Cons: A bit noisy, so if you are a light sleeper or go to bed early it might be a problem. The lift is only 60cm x 90cm if that matters to... More

Rooms were clean. They were small, but typical for Paris hotels in this price range. The neighborhood isnt the most attractive, and is very loud. My key was on several occasions given to me by staff who didn't recognize me--something of a security issue. The desk staff were unhelpful and unwilling to offer advice or assistance when I had some... More

The staff at the hotel was really friendly. The hotel is air-conditionned, which is a big advantage in the summer. We had a room in the back, overlooking a lovely typically parisian courtyard. It was really quiet. As mentionned by other travelers, the rooms are very clean but tiny, and the bathrooms even tinier. However, even though we had 4... More

I'm a bit puzzled by the review commenting on the " interesting area " and the need to avoid Rue Richard Lenoir. I'm not sure why you would even need to be on that street anyway, the metro station doesn't open on to it and the adjoining streets are perfectly respectable. Rue de la Rocquette is the exit from the... More

Overall, inside our hotel room we felt very safe. The room was small, but very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a no frills hotel near the Bastille, but not much else. I had a few concerns about the neighborhood and the general location of the hotel. During our stay there was a large protest at... More

My husband and I stayed in Hotel Daval for 3 nights while exploring Paris (basically, doing all the standard touristy things). LOCATION. The location is phenomenal - 1 min away from a metro station (metro line takes you to all the touristy attractions within 7 mins), 5 mins cab ride to a train station, with plenty of bars and restaurants...

I recently stayed at the Hotel Daval. The reviews warned of the small rooms. Not a big deal since I live in NYC and I'm used to small spaces. However, upon arrival we were still surprised by how small the room was. It was barely large enough for the two of us and our luggage. The bathroom was tiny. We... More
