Daunou Opera Hotel

Le personnel est très sympa mais cela né suffit malheureusement pas à effacer les multiples traces d’usure du mobilier des chambres ou à recoller le papier peint qui a décidé de prendre le large à pas mal d’endroits. Le petit déjeuner est convenable mais en résumé le rapport qualité prix est dans l’ensemble décevant.

Nicely placed between L’Opera, Place de Vendome and the Louvre Museum, within easy reach of the famous boutiques in the Rue Honore and just a stroll away from the Galleries LaFayette.
Finding a sensibly priced hotel in a good area of Paris is not easy, but I think we have one here. What’s particularly good is the size of the bedrooms, in contrast with many 2 and 3 star hotels in Paris. We had singles with good wardrobes and spacious bathrooms — bath and shower. The breakfast buffet is well worth the extra charge and the breakfast hours allow one a long and leisurely recovery period from the rigours of the previous night, if required.
The Daunou lies in a bustling side street packed with bars, cafes and restaurants. Dick made it his mission to try out every bar in the street, to ensure the correct final choice of ‘locale’. He also found a German eating establishment, where you sat on benches and all mucked in; don’t say it! German food whilst in Paris?!! But it was Dick’s trip and in we went. He ordered the ‘Fleischfest’ and you can see it in the pic. Gesundheit!
