“Give this one a miss.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

We have visited Paris on many occasions and while few Parisian hotels offer decent value this hotel was exceptionally poor value. We paid for a superior room which whilst clean turned out to be tiny whilst excessively expensive. Breakfast is not included and very expensive for a little bread, jam and coffee. That said, the alternative is to get ripped off in a Parisian cafe so one is really between a rock and a hard place. The location is just off the Rue de Rivoli and thus well placed for visiting the key tourist attractions that Paris has to offer and the staff are friendly and helpful but if you are looking for value for money this is not the place for you. That said, the whole of Paris now seems geared to ripping off foreign tourists from a cup of coffee to haute couture.

Room Tip: Look at a different hotel

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feelings about our hotel. We are glad to read that you enjoyed our staff, as well as the location of the Duminy Vendôme.

Nevertheless, we are a little bit surprised by your commentary concerning our breakfast, which has often good reviews for its quality and its large choice. For next readers, we wish to remind what we offer every morning to all our guests in our breakfast room :

A generous choice of pastries (croissants, pains au chocolat, brioches, apple turnovers . . . ), bread and toasts with jam (6 different tastes), butter, honey, spreads, cakes Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, herbal tea or Cappuccino Freshly squeezed fruit juice (Orange & Grappefruit), Organic
Apple Juice Fresh fruit salad and fresh fruits (apple, banana, kiwi), a selection of cheese (x3) and ham bacon and sausages Scrambled and hard-boiled eggs, Baked Beans, Tomatoes Cereal (4 different tastes) and milk Nature yogurt, strawberry and apricot, "fromage blanc"...

Also, we are sorry that you have found your room "tiny". It is very unusual for us to read that type of feedback concerning our "Superior" rooms, as the minimum size of these rooms is 21 square meters, which is a really decent size for Paris...

Finally, as we can see you came to the Duminy Vendôme in October, we have to admitt that it is probably the most expensive period of the year in Paris. Fashion week, and others great meetings as "Salon de l'automobile" take usually place during that period. Nevertheless, we provide really good offers or special discount all year long (till 15% discount with an advance purchase), which are less crowded and fancy than the September/October period. Also do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you wish to hear about this offers.

We are deeply sorry that your stay at the Duminy Vendôme did not match with your expectations, and still hope to welcome you for your next trip to Paris, in order to provide you with a superior experience.

Yannick A.
Deputy Manager

“perfect location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012 via mobile

we arrived at 8:30AM, expecting to drop off our bags as check in is normally later in the day. Much to our surprise a room was ready for us. It was clean and quaint but very small. I asked if there was another room for us, was told we had a standard room. I paid for the upgrade and took a deluxe room on the 5th floor. The room is amazing! Big for Europe, average for USA. Bathroom has double sink, large shower with great pressure. The room has 4 large french windows with no view. Bed is very comfortable.
the comped breakfast is plentiful and great. The staff are all very friendly. The location of this hotel is perfect and I would 100% recommend this hotel.

Dear Guest,

We wish to thank you very much for your kind comment. We are glad to read that you enjoyed your stay with us, and have forwarded your nice compliments to our staff.

As you say, our Deluxe rooms are much bigger than standards, and booking them is a really good way to make sure that you have a confortable and larger room, as the size of standard rooms in Europe can be a suprise to non-european guests.

Thank you once again for your nice review. We hope we will welcome you for your next stay in Paris, and wish you a happy new year !

Best regards,

Adrien A.

“OK but”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

I stayed for 2 nights on a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The service is good and the staff friendly however the rooms are very noisy which is why I won't give it more than 3 out of 5.
I started on the 6th floor and the room had velux windows in which is fine until it rained. Then I had the impression that I was in an underground station...the noise was loud and so much so that I asked to change room. This was handled well and I changed down to the 2nd floor. Room was similar but no velux windows so that was good - until early in the morning when the bin lorries go past and make a hell of a noise. Not the fault of the hotel of course but maybe double glazing should be installed to at least cut the noise out. Also in the corridors the cleaning ladies were very loud (again early in the morning before 07h30).
The WIFI worked badly but the staff were friendly, courteous and the breakfast ok.
The hotel is well situated in Paris just next to Place Vendome, Jardins de Tuileries etc.

Room Tip: don't take a 6th floor room and check if their is double glazing on your windows

Dear Guest,

We wish to thank you for taking the time to share your feelings about your stay in our hotel.
We are glad to read that you enjoyed the services provided by our staff, and have forwarded your compliments rightaway to them.

About the acoustic of the rooms, a sound proof renovation is scheduled in the global rebuilding work we plan for late 2013/2014.

Also, we have forwarded your comment about the cleaning staff being too noisy in the morning to the housekeeper, who will make sure this will never happened again. One information: the housekeeping team start at 9am...

We do apologize for the inconvenience caused, and still hope to welcome you again for your next stay to Paris, in order to provide you with a superior experience.

With best regards,

Yannick A

“Gem of a Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

I arrived early thinking to leave my suitcase and go walking and the room was ready early. I was upgraded to a deluxe room, which was plenty large for two people and there was just one of me. The room had no view as was on the first floor but who had time to notice when there was so much to do and see within walking distance?! I took the Metro to get there, getting off at Tuilierres and was fine with my case and the very short walk. There were plenty of wonderful restaurants close by and the Louvre and Champs Christmas Market a couple of blocks away. It was so wonderful that I felt guilty on a business trip without my husband! Would stay there again ANY time I can book it. Love, love love! Oh, I don't eat breakfast so I never noticed if it was nice or not, but would expect it was as good as everything else in the hotel: wonderful.

Room Tip: I liked being on the first floor because I could use the stairs instead of waiting on the elevator.
