Hôtel Duo

Very nice boutique hotel in the heart of Le Marais. Close to shops, restaurants, bars, etc. From the airport it is about an hour on the RER then a 10min walk. I took über everywhere and there was always one close by.
The hotel is very clean and modern. Like others have said the room is small but it is well arranged so it doesn’t feel cramped at all. The room is very cute and cozy. I really liked the room and loved the décor! Also you get a free drink ticket when you check in.
My only complaint would be the noise from the street. It is very noisy (even during the week) until about 4am. If you close the windows it helps but gets very hot in the room. The a/​c didn’t seem to work. Also the cigarette smoke was constant. I think it’s prob from the streets or perhaps someone in hotel smokes… Idk…but being asthmatic I found it very hard to sleep dealing with the smoke and all the noise.
Overall I think I would recommend this hotel but perhaps request a room not facing the street (if they have any).

Great location, staff were very nice and helpful suggesting bars/​restaurants/​clubs.
Rooms were actually a decent size by European standards, and quite modern. Room service/​cleaning was efficient (they never woke us while we were asleep which is always painful).
As other reviewers have said, this isn’t «cheap», but for us this hotel was worth the money for what we got in return: (i) location, (ii) free wifi, (iii) welcome shot, (iv) helpful staff and (v) nice rooms

Hotel Duo is an excellent choice in the heart of the Marais neighborhood. It’s very convenient to the Hotel de Ville metro stop, neighborhood cafes and nightlife. The staff is friendly/​helpful and the small bar/​lounge area provides a well-​decorated and calm space to relax after a day touring the bustling streets of Paris. Rooms are small but well-​decorated; the higher priced ones are spacious enough. The elevator is very small, but probably typical for a boutique hotel in old Paris. Highly recommended!

4.5
My bf and I had an excellent stay at Hotel Duo. There were four main selling points as to why I chose Hotel Duo as one of my hotels for my last France:
1. free WIFI
2. Location in relation to Gare de Lyon Train Station
3. Fitness center
4. Budget friendly
ROOMS: Our rooms and our accommodations were definitely a four out of five. The room was clean, the bathroom even cleaner. A complimentary free cocktail was given for the night of our stay, but we didn’t have the chance to redeem it.
SERVICE: The overall service was fabulous. Really upbeat staff, and we had no problem checking in early, since we were only there for one night. We had no other interactions with the staff other leaving our rooms to drop or pick up our room key fobs.
AMENITIES: The main two reasons why I chose Hotel Duo was because of the fitness center and free wifi. It’s slim pickings out there especially if you’re on a budget! Hotel Duo had both were not superb individually, but did the job. The WIFI took a little time to connect, and depending on where your room was located (ours was in the corner), you would go from two bars to none. The gym wasn’t all that since I’m more of a treadmill user and it wasn’t the best. I felt like the belt kept slipping underneath me. But thank goodness they had one to begin with! Oh! And they have a sauna too!

Hotel Duo is simple but clean and updated. It is close to chatlet station, which has a direct access from the airport. Even though it is faced to a busy street, surprisingly quite. Great customer service… they upgraded our room for free. The only downside was the tub didn’t hold water well… it slowly drained.

très bonne surprise cet hôtel! un petit dej copieux pour un prix tout à fait raisonnable, un personnel à l’écoute et souhaitant rendre votre séjour le plus agréable possible, chambres très calmes malgré le quartier «agité». Un point de chute idéal d’où découvrir le marais, mais aussi les autres quartiers car très bien desservi par transports. Rapport qualité prix impecc! Ce qui est rarement le cas à Paris…

Oui, oui.
So unobtrusive is this Marais hotel’s exterior that I could’ve passed it multiple times each day without taking notice. Since I stayed there though, I took notice. It was clean and neat without drawing attention to itself. The ground floor had a nice sitting area as well as a bar where they were friendly enough to whip up a cocktail upon our arrival, despite it being pre-​11 a.m. and the fact that their bar wasn’t actually open yet. Who said the French hated Americans?
The rooms are tiny, like any Paris hotel room I could afford. The bed was luxurious which was damned fine since it took up about 85% of the room’s usable space. Calling the bathroom compact would be generous. The entry to the shower required lifting one’s leg up above the knee; getting out of the shower was an act best executed by Gabby Douglas.
My 3^rd floor room was so quiet that I accidentally slept until 3 p.m. one day. The elevator was tiny (natch) and slow, so I used the stairs most every time.
I really asked nothing of the hotel except that it be clean, quiet, and comfortable, have all required amenities, and be centrally located, all requirements which the Hotel Duo met in spades. There are apparently other amenities here that I missed, without regret, as I imagine you would as well. One doesn’t after all, go to Paris to check out the hotel.
The hotel is close to a very convenient metro stop (Hotel de Ville) and near to the Pompidou, a great modern art museum.
For those who really need to know: there’s a Starbucks about a block away. I swear I didn’t go there much.

Great little hotel convenient to the gay area of Le Marais. Teeny tiny rooms. Window opened on to the busy street below, nice. Only complaint would be the plastic cups in the bathroom, nasty. Oh, if you are a large person, get the bigger room. You’ll get wedged between the tub and the sink using the loo.

L’Hôtel Duo est très bien situé dans le fameux quartier le Marais de Paris, pas loin de l’Hôtel de Ville. Etant au plein milieu de la communauté LGBT l’hôtel est forcément gay friendly et d’ailleurs très fréquenté par les voyageurs gay. Mais vous y retrouverez aussi petite famille et les retraités en voyage à Paris.
Pour un plan de visite de Paris, voyage d’affaire ou juste pour un week-​end, le Duo est vraiment toujours une bonne destination. Le jour vous n’êtes pas loin de Saint-​Germain, du Louvre ou encore du triangle mode-​achat 1er, 2ème et 3ème. Le soir le Marais vous acceuille avec une plénitude de restaurants et bars qui assurent de passer un très moment à Paris.
Tel que tout les hôtels à Paris le chambres sont de taille réduites mais très bien équipées et décorées avec beaucoup de goût. Wifi gratuit! L’hôtel dispose d’une petite salle de gym et d’un sauna. Le petit déjeuner est servi à partir de 7h et il y a deux formules à 8 € et 15 € — franchement à un prix très correct. Pour les hommes et femmes d’affaires une planche pro de vapeur est mis à disposition pour repasser les chemises — détail pour moi important. Finalement le staff est très gentil et toujours à l’écoute.
Dernière remarque: Le service taxi du matin est impéccable. Je suis resté une semaine et les taxis étaient toujours là à l’heure. Réservez la veille auprès de la réception.

Stunning very Modern Hotel. Gay Friendly area.
This is Hotel is a must place to stay when visiting Paris. Gay friendly modern chic. The rooms are a bit expensive but def worth it. The staff is very nice and professional and ready to help. The hotel is very quiet and halls and rooms are very close to each other. The elevator only fits 3 ppl at a time. the rooms are decorated very nice however very small. I stayed in a d bed room and we each got twin beds but i wouldnt have it any other way. I slept great both nights of being there. The bathroom was very clean and well decorated. Our windows opened up so we can enjoy the balcony where we overlooked the street.
The area is very nice and around many Gay bars which was a plus for us. Many restaurants in area and shopping. Norte Dame is walking distance from hotel.
The hotel offers Sauna and a Gym and a free shot (well at east for us they did). You do however need to leave your room key with the front desk every time you leave the hotel. ALL IN ALL I would def go back and stay here in the future no doubt about it.

This is a great little hotel near Hotel De Ville with easy access to the Metro. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful and was able to recommend places to eat and even get us set up with reservations a number of times. They even helped me over the phone from the US when I was trying to get into a local restaurant but was not able to get connected. The rooms are gorgeous, clean an modern with good taste. The place is quiet. The toiletries provided are perfect. A great place to stay when in Paris.

Original cocktails, cool décor and slap bang in the middle of the Marais.

Le bar est trés sympa, les cocktails sont excellents !
Enfin une adresse au calme dans le Marais ! Le bar a une superbe déco, il y a 1 grand choix de cocktails qui sont trés bons ! J’y vais pour être tranquille car au moins là, on peut discuter et on n’est pas serré !
