We had a great stay in the Duret - it is a great location for the Arc d'triomphe, eiffel tower and champs-elysees and there are some nice bars and restaurants in easy walking distance.

We got a free upgrade from a standard to a superior room and were able to check in when we arrived in Paris at 11.30am - which was really welcome after the flight and metro in from Charles de Gaulle.

The staff are all very helpful, rooms immaculately clean and tidy and very comfortable (big rooms for Paris) - we didn't have the breakfast at the hotel as there was an amazing patisserie at the end of the road which sold wonderful croissants and pain au chocolat, as well as fresh baked bread and freshly brewed coffees.

Would recommend this hotel for a peaceful spot but if you want to be close to the louvre or montmatre areas it is a bit of a hike - or a ride on the metro - but then given the size of Paris nothing is that close! Good value for money - book direct with the hotel, it was at least 25 euro a night cheaper than anywhere else i found the hotel advertised.

We enjoyed our 5-night stay at the Duret. Rooms were quite large for a Paris hotel. Decor was very modern. Staff were nice and helpful. Free PC use with internet access at the lobby.

It's a 5 min walk to the Argentine metro stop. There's a grocery store 2 doors away from the hotel and an excellent bakery at the corner. We picked up croissants there every morning. There's also a fruit stand, and several other shops just steps away from the hotel.

We'd definitely stay there again!

Excellent hotel, very modern, small, but great rooms with lovely bathroom. Staff were beyond excellent. Would highly recommend.

We stayed at the Duret for a long weekend for my wife's birthday with two other couples and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is situated about 400 metres from Arc de Triomphe, very close to the Argentine Metro station and we found plenty of excellent restaurants nearby. Everything went smoothly from checking in to checking out and all of the receptionist staff were delightful, pointing us in the right direction for trips and nearby restaurants. Even better was a couple of fantastic pattisseries nearby which the girls found irresistable.
The hotel reception area itself was modern and well decorated, as were the bedrooms. We had booked a superior room and although a bit on the small side, it was well decorated and comfortable, and there was very little noise from outside to disturb us. The bed was great too and let us have a great night's sleep after lots of sightseeing.
Although intially we thought it would be a good idea to find a breakfast outwith the hotel, what we found was of relatively poor quality for around 12 Euros. The hotel buffet breakfast was 16 euros but was great, setting you up for the day without any hassle. The quality was well worth the extra and we got plenty of coffee too.
The convenient location of the hotel, the staff, standard of service and accommodation all added up for us to make it our preferred choice next time we visit Paris.
