Rooms are very small, but cozy, modern and tasteful. Some superior rooms have Eiffel tower view. Our balcony (pictured in this review) had an Eiffel view. (But be aware, these balconies are not private.) Hotel is walking distance to the Eiffel tower (provided you are in decent shape, I suppose); I think it took us 10 min to get there. There is a metro station nearby (walkable) that can get you everywhere else. At night, I slept SO WELL after watching the tower sparkle and getting into the plush, comfy bed. Internet service in the room was great, you just need the code from the front desk. Helene at front desk is very helpful.
The Duquesne Eiffel Hotel is located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, close to the Eiffel Tower, Invalides and the Musee Rodin. We like this area of Paris, it's quiet and safe, close enough to the sights to either walk or take a short metro ride, close to the Rue cler area where there are a lot of restaurants and patisseries.
We stayed at a budget hotel the last time we visited and were disappointed so this time I was looking for something more midrange and found it at this hotel. The reception staff was pleasant, although not particularly helpful on restaurants. They had a computer set up in the lobby where you could use the internet for free which was very nice.
Breakfast was not included in our rate of €102, it was an additional €11 so we got breakfast at a local patisserie instead. We had a standard double room, there are also comfort rooms and superior rooms, some of which appear to have a view of the Eiffel Tower and balconies. We booked the room on booking.com, the rate was lower than their normal rate I assume because it was August when a lot of people avoid going to Paris since a lot of Parisians vacation at that time.
Unique Quality: Room 58-our room was not overly large but certainly big enough for the two of us. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. The room had a plasma TV with the extremely odd feature of being able to rotate the picture so it was upside down or reversed, air conditioning, minibar with just a small amount of extra space for your own stuff and modern decor. No view from our room.
Bathroom-plenty spacious, shower and tub with good water pressure and plenty of hot water, toiletries included shampoo/bath gel on the wall in the tub, lotion, emory boards and a few other things I didn't need. Hairdryer in bathroom.
Directions: Closest metro: Ecole Militaire, walkable with wheeled luggage, about 5 minutes
Very friendly staff, most of which speak English. Some of them speak Spanish and Italian as well. Julie Palisse is the Asst. Mgr, very friendly and helpful. This is a small hotel in the 7th and only has approx. 40 rooms. A very small elevator and the rooms are small, which should be expected overseas. Minibar expensive, but helpful in a pinch (just arrived, etc). Nice bathroom and everything very clean. I watched their website and found an excellent deal and reserved in months in advance. My price rating below is what I paid, not the regular price which is much higher. They will not promise a certain room, as there are only a handful of rooms with the excellent view of the Eiffel Tower.
Unique Quality: Room 56. Great view of the Eiffel Tower. 2 small balconies. It is a deluxe superior. I could lie on the bed and see the Eiffel Tower all lit up at night.
Directions: Ecole Militaire Metro Station, turn left on to Duquesne Ave about 2 blocks on left side.
we like the duquesne eiffel it is in a great neighboorhood lots of cafes and shops and metro right there. we stayed on the 1st floor room 15 it was very nice twin beds, nice bathroom with a bath tub for tire travelers. the only thing was the walls were really thin and you could hear everything dont forget to book your shuttle to the airport early because they booked up fast and we ended up pay 76 dollars for taxi to airport. i would recommend this hotel. the staff were very friendly and julie was so nice. they will help you with anything you might need.
Unique Quality: this hotel is blocks from the eiffel tower it has amazing views of the eiffel tower great pastries and juice but not include was a little expensive but we had ours in our room. the hop on hop off bus was 1 block behind the hotel. the staff is very friendly and helpful. big beautiful windows that open up to beautiful views.
Directions: 2 blocks from eiffel tower
Stayed at the Duquesne Eiffel Hotel for a weekend break for Valentines 2004 and 2005.This hotel is in such a great location, Just a stones throw away from the Eiffel Tower and such a romantic view can be seen from our bedroom. The hotel staff are helpful and very polite and the buffet breakfast is a great way to start the day.
We've just returned from a stay at this hotel and had to add our opinion that it was pretty much perfect. Every single member of staff were friendly. The breakfast in a little cellar type thing had a much bigger choice than we expected. The Eiffel Tower is a very leisurely twenty minute stroll away, and the Ecole Militaire Metro station is five minutes away and gives rapid accesss to all the rest of the sites. The local area is very safe with plenty of reasonably priced eating places. Finally, our room was very clean and the bathroom had an excellent shower. Yes, okay, the room that we had was very small and had no view to speak of, but what, you've come to Paris to sit in your hotel room!? Choose this hotel and you will not be disappointed.
First things first, the location of this hotel couldn't be more perfect. 5 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower! Perfect metro line 2 blocks away!
We stayed at this hotel for 1 week and I must say the employees were so king and courteous that we actually missed them when we returned.
They went out of their way to pack my luggage I forgot at the hotel lobby and kept me informed about it until it was shipped to me. They really took care of our luggage like it was their own.
When we go back to Paris, hopefully soon, we will definitely stay at the Duequesne Eiffel Hotel.
Booked this after reading lots of positive reviews on this site. It is a very clean, cosy Hotel and the staff are indeed very helpful and friendly. Room was small, but adequate (we booked a superior double). Only negative points were the poor sound-proofing between rooms, you can hear your neighbours using the toilet as well as other activities which go on until the early hours! Bed was extremely firm so much so that I woke on the first morning with what felt like a trapped nerve in my arm. Nevertheless, all that said it is ideal for a weekend break. Try the Tourville along the road for nice clubby type venue for drinks/eats.
Excellent service, friendly staff. Not all rooms have a view of the Eiffel Tower - ours didn't - so be sure to request it. The room was VERY small, but well maintained. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms renovated. Enjoyed the neighborhood and felt very safe walking alone from the Metro to the hotel in the evening. Excellent buffet breakfast. Originally we were on the 5th floor and the room was very smokey smelling, but we changed rooms without any problems. We would return to this hotel and/or neighborhood again. I would rate this hotel slightly above "average" yet less than "above average". Check out the open air market under the Metro at La Motte Picquet Grennelle (one metro stop away or an easy walk). It's only twice a week but what an experience.
Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and found it good. It was exactly what we paid for, clean accomodation and the dtaff were very friendly, the girl at reception was very helpful and helped us choose restaurants to eat in, wouldnt recommend this hotel for young 20's like us as the area was very quite and we didnt find any bars or anything around! to get taxis down to the lively latin quarter was much too expensive...it was very near the eiffel tower which was great and the bus stop is beside it. I would recommend this hotel as it is very clean and the room is good, small but it has everything you need!
I have been researching hotels Close to the Eiffel Tower with a good view and not outrageously priced. Has anyone stayed at the mentioned hotel? Or does anyone have any suggestions for a hotel with a triple room and a view of the Eiffel Tower in the price range of $250 (USD) or less?
By staying there you will NOT be in the most central area of Paris. The area is expensive and you can only walk to the Tower and that's it. If you stay in the 6th district or 5th district you will be able to walk to the Marais, Notre Dame, the Louvre etc...So much nicer. Until the end of the 19th century the area of the Eiffel tower was the countryside so not other historical monuments there.
I have to agree with the previous poster - you'll not be in a very lively area of Paris if you are near the Eiffel tower - I'd suggest the 4th or 11 (personal taste.
Have a look at the accommodation recommendations made by Guyon - he has lots of them and they are very good...
You must know 4 things :
- the Tour Eiffel is not in the center of Paris : the center is in place du Chatelet
- the 7e district has few attractions : the major one is the Tour Eiffel which can reached easily by Metro from a lot of places in Paris
- the hotels near Tour Eiffel are more expensive than the others
- the hotels from which the Tower is visible use to put Eiffel in their name in order to get more tourists. The Tower can be seen from far places, you know. The Hotel Duquesne Eiffel is 1 mile far from the tower.
Travel smart.
Thank You for your reply. Do you have any suggestions for a good hotel that has gooviews. My sister and I will be travelling with our 80 year old mother. She is in very good health but is 80 and does not have the stamina that we do. We are looking for a hotel in the price range of $250 USD or less in an area that we would feel comfortable if our mother chose to stay back at the hotel while we went out. We have also thought about taking the open top tour bus, thinking that would be easy for her.any suggestions would be helpful
Try the hotel Britannique *** which is rue Victoria close to place du Chatelet. You will be near everywhere in Paris and you will stay in a nice area with the Ile de la Cite nearby.
Thank You that looks like a beautiful hotel.
