Hotel du Danube Saint Germain

Friendly staff. Room is small but is standard for Paris esp. it’s located in the best Saint Germain area. Easy to get around

It’s a nice hotel centrally located. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The shower is hot, and the bed is comfy…the pillows are a little to soft for my liking, but that’s a personal thing. Overall nice hotel, a little dated, but location is great.

I do not speak French at all and had not been to Paris since 1987(!) I decided to visit Paris for 3 nights after a 2 week vacation to Spain since all of the good return flight options for my needs routed through CDG, why not check out Paris on the way home. I did very little research on Paris and decided to pick the St Germain neighborhood as a base. I picked this hotel based on some other reviews and since it seemed close to the river, I thought I'd be able to just walk to the other side of the river easily if I wanted to. Turns out, that was exactly the case. It is an easy walk to the river and pretty much right across from the Louvre. I walked to Notre Dame, too, which is right there. I spent most of my time in the neighborhood surrounding the hotel. Pretty much in every direction there are great shopping, cafes, and restaurants and the a**osphere is lively but way less hectic/chaotic than on the right side of the river. The people at the front desk spoke English which was nice since I do not speak French, and check in and check out was super easy. The hotel has an old charm and feel to it and the room was small, but with everything I needed. This is not a fancy modern hotel, but a bit older feeling, which kind of just adds to the charm of the experience of visiting Paris. I was able to catch a cab to the hotel from the Gare de Lyon train station easily and was able to get an Uber to the airport early in the morning no problem. Although, I believe the metro to catch the train to/from the airport is a short walk from the hotel as well, if you wanted to use that method.

I was there for 4 nights. Enrique was very helpful during check in and then he was available for questions. All hotels are expensive in Paris, so this is no exception. The installations are not brand new, the building itself is dated. However, the rooms are quite comfortable, the bed is the best. Good water pressure and products that were replaced every day. For one, the room is quite small, but it suffices. Unfortunately, people walking around made a huge noise on the floors (wood) that could be heard in the room, so it is not really quiet. Location in quite nice. I wished to have taken with me the pen that the hotel provides in the room, but one of the days the cleaning lady just removed it (why?, who knows, did she need to write something?). Overall, I recommend, but prepare to pay a lot of money for this or any other hotel in Paris. Rest of the cities in France are a lot more affordable.

Return visit to this superb hotel. Fantastic location in the heart of St Germain; spacious clean and quiet room with excellent bathroom; good breakfast and above all friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Highly Recommended!

Very quaint hotel in the perfect location to everything we wanted to see!! The staff was wonderful, the room was spacious, the breakfasts started our day off perfectly and the front desk provided helpful information to us , first time visitors. I will stay here again!!
