Hotel Duminy Vendome

“Perfect stay”

Compared to many hotels in Paris, the rooms are very comfortable and spacious. Even the single room was very comfortable. The cleanliness of the rooms was excellent. The location is very very good. All employees are very friendly and helpful.

“Pick this one—it’s GREAT!!”

The Duminy was our last hotel after traveling around Europe for a month. What a delightful end to our trip! Perfectly located for visiting all the famous landmarks and many wonderful restaurants were nearby. The coup d’etat was the cleanliness—impeccable. Many boutique hotels have ambiance, but cut corners with cleanliness. The sheets were crisp and bright, carpets clean and the bathroom, although small, looked brand new. Cannot comment on the breakfast as we were in a hurry to get out and about every morning. We would be thrilled to stay again and highly recommend this great hotel.

“Great hotel except for the $108 damage deposit not returned at checkout”

This would be 5 stars if my $108 damage deposit was refunded at checkout like it’s stated in their policy. I’ve never been to a hotel that took $108 in advance for damages. Not sure what kind of damages anyone could do in a room (it’s a bed, built in wardrobe, tv, bathroom, desk. What could someo... lisää

This would be 5 stars if my $108 damage deposit was refunded at checkout like it’s stated in their policy. I’ve never been to a hotel that took $108 in advance for damages. Not sure what kind of damages anyone could do in a room (it’s a bed, built in wardrobe, tv, bathroom, desk. What could someone possibly do? The front desk staff were very professional and very nice. The hotel is clean and in a great shopping and eating area. The hotel guests all seemed to be quiet people (this is not a hotel for parties), so not sure again why this hotel takes $108 and does not return it upon checkout. The cleaning person was in my room yesterday so clearly if I destroyed the room she would have seen it b

“A Step Away from Everything, but with Limited Services”

The Duminy Vendome is so well located that during several days in Paris, my wife and I did not need to take the metro and only requested taxis or Ubers on a couple of occasions.

The Duminy Vendome is so well located that during several days in Paris, my wife and I did not need to take the metro and only requested taxis or Ubers on a couple of occasions. Just steps from Rue de Rivoli and the Tuileries, and very close to Place Vendome to the north, the area is filled with restaurants, the Musée d'Orsay is across the Seine, and the Louvre is just a short walk away. The hotel services are limited. On the bed, there was no top sheet to cover us, only the sheet placed over the mattress and, on top of it, a duvet. We had a hard time explaining that we wanted an extra sheet; then, instead of making the bed, they just left the sheet in the room, and we had to make it ourselves. In the bathroom, which is very small, there were no amenities like those provided in any 4-star hotel. They could be requested at the reception, but they were not available in the room. On the last day of our five-night stay, there was no shower gel or shampoo. The room is poorly designed. There is ample space between the TV and the work table and, on the other hand, the bed. But the distance between the bed and the bathroom is 30 centimeters. It can certainly be an advantage to have the bathroom close, but not that close 😄. On the other side of the bed, in the middle of the room, there is a pillar that obstructs the passage. Clearly, those who designed the architecture of that room did not think about the guests. The breakfast, in the basement of the hotel, was adequate, although the dining room where it is served is completely enclosed, without ventilation and with a lot of resonance for any sound. The staff is friendly but inept at handling situations they have not anticipated. In the rooms, there is no brochure informing about the hotel’s services. Instead, there is a QR image that supposedly leads to that information online when scanned. For some technical reason, when I scanned that image on my cell phone (which had a SIM card I bought in Italy), the hotel information did not appear, but instead, it showed a dating site (!). When I explained this problem to the man at the reception, showing him my cell phone, and requested a printed brochure with the hotel information, he refused to believe there was a technical problem. Additionally, the hotel did not have that information printed. Poor in services, with an extraordinary location, and almost always attentive staff, the Duminy Vendome is a good option if you do not expect a hotel that offers more than just a place to stay and have breakfast.
