HOTEL DAVAL, Paris

Positioned in the lively Bastille area of the 11th arrondissement, the hotel is surrounded by a wide array of restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and boutiques. Bastille metro station is a 1-minute walk away, providing access to metro Line 1 and other lines. Notre Dame Cathedral is reachable in a 20-minute walk, and the Marais district and Place des Vosges are 850 metres away. The area is very active at night, especially on weekends, with bars and clubs nearby. The location works well for guests who want to walk to central sights and have a vibrant dining scene immediately outside the door.

Room sizes vary significantly within the hotel - some are compact with limited floor space while others are more generously proportioned, even at the same rate. Courtyard rooms offer better quiet, while street-facing rooms can be very loud at night due to the active nightlife. Soundproofing between rooms is limited. Some rooms have parquet floors and a sitting area. A kettle can be requested at reception. Twin rooms have two beds; quadruple rooms have one double and two single beds; a baby cot is available on request. Bathrooms vary from modern walk-in showers to compact plastic cubicles. Rooms are generally clean, and some have been recently renovated.

Breakfast includes bread, pastries, and hot drinks. The breakfast area has limited seating (three to four small tables). For those who prefer a quick morning option, morning coffee and a croissant are sometimes available for 2 EUR. The immediate surroundings are packed with restaurants, crêperies, brasseries, and bakeries, offering choices from Japanese to French cuisine within a 3-minute walk. This makes alternative dining easy to find if the hotel's breakfast does not meet expectations.

The 24-hour reception allows late arrivals at any time. Luggage storage is free and available for early arrivals before check-in or after check-out until late afternoon. Cots are available on request. Housekeeping keeps rooms clean; some rooms have been recently renovated. The reception team is consistently described as friendly and helpful.
