Recensioni
Arriving once again at Hotel Dadou on 10 Rue Troyon felt less like checking into a hotel and more like slipping back into a familiar chapter of my own Paris story. The Arc de Triomphe was just around the corner, the city humming as always, yet the moment I stepped through Dadou’s door, the outside world softened into a pleasant backdrop. A warm greeting at the front desk, a few shared smiles of recognition, and that gentle buzz in the lobby—coffee cups clinking, the faint scent of fresh pastries—told me I was exactly where I wanted to be. I wasn’t just returning to Paris; I was coming home. This time, there was something new to look forward to: room 66, tucked up high in the roofline, like a little Parisian hideaway above the streets. The room was snug and cleverly laid out, a perfect blend of Haussmannian bones and playful Dadou personality, with vintage-inspired touches and a bed dressed in those impossibly inviting linens that make early mornings feel negotiable. Beyond the doorway, sunlight spilled onto a small balcony with two chairs—a simple luxury that instantly became my favorite corner of the city. From that little perch in the sky, Paris felt both intimate and infinite. With a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, I could sit back and watch rooftops shift in the changing light, hear the distant murmur of traffic along the grand avenues, and catch snippets of daily life unfolding below. The balcony turned every pause in the day into a scene: hurried commuters, strolling couples, the occasional siren, and the ever-present silhouette of the Arc just a short stroll away. It was the kind of vantage point that makes you feel quietly privileged—close to everything, yet just removed enough to savor it all
What a wonderful hotel. The rooms are well appointed, with what looks like upgraded bathroom with toiletries you want to take home. The staff are extremely polite and helpful, and the location is very close to the Arc de Triomphe, metro, and very good restaurants. Highly recommend!
Great location, very clean and great staff! Especially Melody at the front desk went above and beyond. She told us great recommendations and is super helpful! I highly recommend this hotel! I came back and stayed at this hotel again. Lea and Paul, other staff here are amazing. Accommodating us for storage our luggage.
Will start with the positives: lovely room, comfy, love the balcony and quiet street. Beautiful bathroom and nice shower. Staff was kind. I’m not one to complain, but there were certainly things that need to be improved. Firstly, as soon as we booked we emailed to ask for a late check-out and were confirmed in writing to stay until 3:30pm (which we were going to pay for). This was vital to our trip because we had a wedding the night before, I am a lactating woman and had to plan my trip around my pumping schedule, etc. Upon arrival we were told this is no longer possible because someone else booked the room, which I understand; however, we should have been informed immediately via email given that there was no indication that there’s a possibility of us not being able to check-out late. It seemed like this was confirmed in our email exchange. Second, breakfast is 22 euros and runs from 7-10:30am, 11 on weekends. Luckily, we got breakfast complimentary because our TV didn’t work for 2 days, however, make sure you get to breakfast at 7am. I arrived at 9 and there was was basically some cheese and bread left (no quiche, barely any eggs) and the staff stated that they do not replenish the food once things run out. So basically you could pay 22 euros for bread and cheese if you get there too late and everyone else ate everything. Third, our check out/flight was on New Year’s Eve. We checked our suitcases in with the staff since we were leaving later in the day. At no point did anyone think to tell us that ALL of the streets surrounding the hotel would be closed later in the day because of NYE festivities by the Arc de Triomphe. Given that most people staying in a hotel are tourists, traveling to and from airports to catch flights, I feel like the hotel has some responsibility to inform guests of major delays. Needless to say, we found out the hard way.
