Hotel Derby Garibaldi - Paris

8.7

Nice little hotel, in front of the metro station and with a nice cafe just around the corner. Staff very friendly and willing to help.

5.3

the localtion of the hotel is good close very close to metro The shower was OK but I had to ask for towels The wifi - never worked and I had to make alternative arrangements

7.1

Es caro en comparación con hoteles en España, pero es bastante aceptable en comparación con otros hoteles en París. Está en una zona tranquila y bien comunicada, es muy cómodo tener una estación de metro justo en la puerta del hotel. El trato del personal del hotel ha sido excelente, y nunca tuvimos problemas por llegar de madrugada, como comentan otros usuarios, tal vez hayan corregido ya este inconveniente. No podemos comentar nada sobre el desayuno, porque no lo utilizamos. Lo más destacable es la localización y el trato cordial y atento del personal del hotel.

7.4

The morning/afternoon concierge at this hotel was very helpful and courteous. The hotel location is excellent, as it is very close to the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. If you wish to take the subway, then you're in luck because it is right across from a station. The general area of the city is not the greatest, however, we felt safe at night inside the hotel. The room was very tiny, however, it was clean and fully functional for our needs.

6.2

Very convenient, close to the subway. The room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast was too expensive for a family of 4. Very noisy at night.

9.1

famiglia con figli piccoli. Siamo stati 4 notti l'hotel risponde in tutto alle informazioni che sono sul sito. L'ospitalità è stata ottima. Avevamo una quadrupla con due stanze comunicanti. L'ubicazione è ottima in quanto davanti c'è la fermata della metro.

8.1

Very nice hotel in a convenient location (right next to a Metro stop). Very clean rooms and friendly staff. The rooms were quiet. I would stay here again. One minor complaint: we happened to be in Paris during unseasonably hot weather and the air conditioning was provided by portable units. The exhaust vents for these units were setting on the floor, blowing the hot air back in the room. I stuck the hose out the window and got some relief, but the window had to remain open to do so - kind of counterproductive.

Hotel Derby Garibaldi was the first hotel we stayed at on our three week vacation through France and the Czech Republic. Although the hotel was not in the centre of Paris, its location directly across from the Metro was perfect. A small grocery store was around the corner as were a few pastry shops. My wife and I walked from the hotel to the Eiffel Tower easily (10-15 minute walk) and quite enjoyed this hotel's location and the size of room and bathroom. We did have one evening where we could not get into our room - the key was malfunctioning (very odd!). The doorman on duty at night could not even figure out what the issue was. One caution I must give - do not leave any valuables in your room. Also, be very careful about how you check out of your room. I discovered that there had been fraudulent activity on my credit card half way through our vacation - and I had only used this credit card once and it was at Hotel Derby Garibaldi!

6.9

Close to the Eiffel Tower...Across from the metro and close to the supermarkets. Close to the open markets which are held on Wednesdays' and Sundays' where you could find good bargains. Within walking distance of the Seine where you could book cruises on any of the tour boats.

7.9

Staff are helpful and friendly, breakfast good value, location central. Nice hotel, would happily pay a return visit

7.9

Well I would not say that the hotel staff was universally as helpful as in the previous reviews...mainly due to English limitations, but they did try. While telling us our room would not be available until the published noon they surprised us an finished in 30 mins as my daughter was ill. Renovations going on so a little noisy. Breakfast buffet overpriced, but there are reasonable options in neighbourhood. Close to metro and attractions...really good location. Room a little tight for 4 people, but good for price. Overall very good

8.0

We had no problem finding the hotel. It is right across the Metro station. Hotel is conveniently located with supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and metro around. We had booked a family room and a double room. Family room was big and there were two washrooms. Staffs were very helpful. This is our first time staying in Hotel Derby Garibaldi and we will return to this hotel. One recommendation if you are taking the metro from the airport or train station to the hotel, don't bring big luggages as you have to walk and change metro lines for a few times. The metro is usually very packed and you have to carry the luggages up the stairs and walk long way before changing another line.

8.1

El hotel se nos hizo comodo,limpio ,muy amplio, buen trato de su personal,excelente localizacion por estar enfrente de estacion del metro,buena zona,Los aspectos negativos son los siguientes:lo pequeño de su ascensor, dificultades con la operacion del aire acondicionado ,ya que era portatil y no tenia salida al exterior la parte donde sale el aire caliente que sale por detras del clima,ademas habia que estar desaguando el agua acumulada en un recipiente del mismo clima 2 veces durante la noche para que funcionara correctamente,las sobrecamas estaban algo deterioradas

9.0

This is a fine small hotel in a great neighborhood in the center of the city. Metro station across the street, plenty of nice restaurants in the neighborhood, safe streets, youthful population. The hotel is old and lacks amenities that some travelers might consider mandatory. Portable air conditioners were a puzzle, TV didn't work, refrigerator lacked proper venting, shower head sprayed onto floor. This was our second stay at the Garibaldi so clearly the ambiance of a small hotel in a great neighborhood with a friendly, helpful staff outweighed the mechanical issues.

6.7

Reading the previous comments our conclusion is that the place is surely not what it used to be!

7.6

We had a great stay in Paris, and enjoyed our stay at the Derby Garibaldi, but that's mostly because we're not complainers. At first we were in the wrong room (a quad room) and had to be moved. That room was beautiful, by the way. It even had 2 bathrooms. We were moved to a much smaller room on the second floor, which had a stale smoke and sewer smell. It was clean however and when I mentioned the smell to the manager, it was temporarily taken care of. The staff were absolutely wonderful. The friendliest people we met in Paris. The hotel was also well situated across from the tube, within 15 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower and within 5 minutes of a laundromat.

9.4

Our family of 4 -- two teens and parents -- en joyed our stay at the charming Hotel Derby Garibaldi. The staff, especially Dorna, were very nice and helpful. My daughter was skeptical when I told her it was a small hotel -- but she said she really liked it. The location across the street from the Metro was wonderful and we easily walked to the Eiffel tower. In fact, we saw it from our window!

7.1

Non è male come alloggio, trattasi di un vecchio stabile rifatto alla meglio, qualità prezzo sproporzionato, quiete notturna buona, pulizia stanza buona, ma la prima cosa che ho notato sull'insegne dello stabile che sono state cancellate (coperte) le 3 stelle????!!!

8.5

The hotel really is quiet and very convenient transport-wise. We shall gladly return next year.

9.2

This was an excellent hotel with quality service. The hotel staff was so nice. And the hotel was in a great location for an amazing price!

8.3

Excellent facilities and convinient location

6.8

No heating in the bathroom

9.4

Very good hotel. Clean and relatively quiet. Conveniently located close to the metro station. Several good restaurant nearby.

6.5

Ok..The room was large, and even had an adjoined room with two twin beds, we didn't use it. There were stains on the comforter, the lamp shade and the bathroom looked clean but smelled like mold. the towels were clean and soft, and the shower was great. there were sodas and waters in the fridge for a decent rate. we were given some bad info the morning we left so we would hesitate to rely on their advice. we were told a cab to the airport would be 30-40 euro and it was 65! to make matters worse we were only taking a cab because he said the metro wouldn't open until 6am...as we pulled away in the cab it was open (we had already paid for our tickets on the train!) it was a worse because we only had 60 euro left as we were flying home..we worked it out in american dollars..but i was left with a bad taste in my mouth. Don't expect it to be as nice as the photo's that's for sure.

8.9

We stayed at the Hotel for 2 nights. We have two children and found the quad room very spacious and the bonus was the extra bathroom.A few things need attendance in the room. The welcoming was very warm and exceptionally helpful with advice on places to eat and visit.Restaurants and train on your doorstep.

9.5

I would highly recommend this hotel for Location, Room Quality and particularly friendliness and helpfulness of staff. My 18 year old son had a great time practicing his French with the night staff. Breakfast was very good and Metro stop 20 metres from front door. I would return to Derby Garibaldi on any future visit to Paris. Merci à tout le personnel pour nous avoir aidés pendant notre séjour et je recommanderai votre hôtel à tous mes amis. Vous avez beaucoup ajouté aux quelques jours que nous avons passés chez vous.

9.6

it was too good for us to be honest...we were only 2people staying in a room but we had 1 king-size bed and 2 single beds and also we had 2 bathrooms which was modern so it was fantastic!! we could see the effel tower from a room as well. there were heaters so it was nice and warm. staffs were really nice too. they gave us general information about paris,and they could both speak english well, and very friendly. most perfect thing was location. 1 second from a metro station. nice service,nice room, nice bathroom,big bed,nice people,fantastic location. it was too good for me to be honest...

9.2

I decided to stay at this hotel after reading the comments. I was very impressed by the size of the rooms. It is very difficult to find a large room in Paris (in Europe actually) at this price. My son (8) was happy to have a seperate room and TV. Furnitures and bathroom were quite new and clean. It is not at the center but very close to the metro station. There are nice brasseries around. The breakfast was quit satisfying. I recommend this hotel to the families with children especially.

9.5

Stayed at Hotel Berby Garibaldi for 4 nights and the staff there were extremely helpful. Especially Yoan who gave us alot of advice on places to visit and getting around.

5.1

Temperature of Heating and hot water was limitedly low. After coming back from out side, room wa so cold!! I came back my home with such a bad cold. Room was not too small but somehow no relax feeling. Bath room was largesh but temperture of hot warter was settled low!

8.9

Great hotel! For the price we paid through Venere it was excellent. Rooms were clean, quiet and everything was working - except I rang and checked their website about wireless internet connection - this was all confirmed, I brought my laptop with me and they told me it hasnt been working for 2 weeks. Disappointed. Across the road from the hotel - Serves Locumbre train station -VERY QUIET - you can hear it AT ALL in your room. Night time very quiet too. Hotel Staff very friendly and VERY helpful in terms of directions. I recommend this hotel to everyone because of its proximity to the metro, 15mins walk to the Eiffel Tower and a very nice area of Paris - safe and clean.

8.6

There was no wi-fi as indicated on all websites regarding this hotel.

8.5

Fantastic location with metro right outside the hotel door. Couldn't ask for more. Friendly and helpful staff, great transport and clean rooms. Rooms are not very big but very adequate. I would definitely go back there.

7.6

Nice small hotel near metro station. Good location for shoppings and restaurants, nice area. Very nice and helpful staff. The doubleroom was good size and the bathroom was clean. The walls are thin but no noise from street. I don´t like the wall to wall carpets, dirty and ugly.

7.5

Booked for 5 nights and was not disappointed. Located directly opposite Metro Station but no distracting noise whatsoever. When we arrived we were put in a double room so we enjoyed plenty of space. Great view of Eiffel Tower from our L4 window. No breakfasts in room rate but plenty of Retaurants close by to choose from. 15min walk to Eiffel Tower. Not a heavily touristed area. Would definetly go back.

9.5

The rooms are quite large and we had a wonderful surprise when we got two joining rooms instead of a triple as reserved. We appreciated it very much and it made a wonderful impression on us. The metro station is in front of the hotel which is very important when you come back at night or from shopping. he staff at the reception were very nice and helpful. We forgot a poster in the luggage room and they offered to send it to us and they did their best all the time. The location is OK.It's Montparnasse, not St. Germain des Pres, but it's safe. Good price for Paris.

Estuvimos en este hotel durante tres dias, en alojamiento triple. La habitación en cuestión eran dos habitaciones comunicadas por un arco, en total una gran cama king size y dos twin, con dos cuartos de baño. El resultado era una especie de suite, magnífico. La habitación estaba bastante limpia, cambian la ropa de cama y toallas, con una blancura extraordinaria, pero se ve que están bastante usadas. Por el contrario las colchas de la cama y la tapiceria de las sillas y sillones estaban manchadas, esto no era agradable. El ascensor es bastante pequeño, pero muy nuevo. Teniendo en cuenta las opiniones de otros usuarios, no tomamos el desayuno de 13 euros del hotel, saliamos y lo tomábamos en el bar de la esquina por 5 euros. En lineas generales recomiendo el hotel porque tiene una buena situación, es pequeño y acogedor y limpio.

8.5

One night spent for professionnal reason in this hotel. Perfect quality vs price : large room, clean, good equipment, very good welcoming, and 5' to go for my job (bd pasteur). I made a reservation for a single and get a double. A slight problem of noisy ceiling lamp, I told to the reception, it must be fixed (room 103). I recommend. Thanks.

6.2

This hotel is fairly nice, the room we requested was a double and we were given a room for 4, with two bathrooms, t.v's etc which was great, but I cant comment on the general size of the rooms as I think we just got lucky. The location is not great, I wouldn't stay again because of the location. However for just an overnight stay it was fine.

4.7

This hotel did not provide the accommodation we booked for half of our stay. This did not appear to be a one-off mistake as we saw several other irate guests being treated in the same way on their arrival. We booked 4 nights in a family room and confirmed the reservation by telephone a few days in advance. On arrival, we were turned away at the door to spend an overcrowded night (beds squeezed into too small a room) at a partner hotel. The receptionist at this hotel called the Garibaldi in the morning to confirm our room for the next 3 nights, but when we arrived at 5.00pm after a day's sightseeing we were told again that they had no room for us. Eventually we were given a room for 3 (with no key or official existance on the hotel's computer system) behind a door marked private on the top floor. Our final 2 nights were fine and in the room originally booked. Perhaps we were unlucky, but I was left with the impression that overbooking rooms was a common occurance (I couldn't say whether it was accidental or deliberate). This is a real shame, as in all other ways this is a nicely kept hotel in a handy spot. If we had been given the room we originally booked, we would have been very happy with our stay.

7.1

Christopher is very helpful and friendly for us to settle down. Provide the information about the city, parking, etc.

9.3

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and were very impressed. We requested a room with 3 beds and were given 2 rooms that were more than appropriate for a family with a child, without any additional charges. From everything I’ve read on the confined size of the rooms in Paris, we were happy with Derby Garibaldi’s room size.

9.2

The hotel was very nice. The only problem we really ran into was upon leaving. The hotel had set up a shuttle to take us back to the airport. It never showed. The problem was eventually fixed but they need make sure that doesn't happen again. Overall our visit in Paris was wonderful.

8.2

Friendly and helpful staff. Parking is a nightmare but that's not the hotel's fault (they don't have their own and there are no garages in the vicinity - if you're driving to Paris I don't recommend staying here). Breakfast is overpriced. Our room was huge but in need of renovation. Metro stop conveniently located right across the street, and we could see the Eiffel Tower from our window. Overall a good value.

8.5

We were travelling as a couple (a four days holiday without the kids!) and were, over all, very satisfied with the accommodation. Our room was extremely spacious (the bathroom was very small, though, but well-equipped) and really clean. The windows were absolutely noise proof, which is very important, given the hotel's location at a big boulevard and directly opposite the métro. We were a bit disappointed about the styling of the rooms, which had seemed more modern to us from the photos, but as already stated, everything was clean and worked well, so we got used to the style soon. We did not try the breakfast, because the cost-benefit-ratio did not exactly seem to be the best, so we cannot judge this part of the hotel. The only really negative characteristic of our room was that it strongly smelled of smoke, even though we kept the windows open all day. What we considered extremely positive, on the other hand, was the hotel's location, quite close to Eiffel Tower, but what is much more important, at no distance from two different métro lines. Summing up, we would recommend the hotel to tourists who are looking for a spacious, clean room, well connected to public means of transport, who do not care too much about a modern style and four-star-comfort.

POLISH: Jesteśmy rodziną z 3 dzieci i musieliśmy nocować w hotelu przed dalszą podrózą do Dordonii. Hotel ulokowany w dość przeciętnym miejscu, a zaletą jest metro w odległości ca 50m od drzwi hotelu. Niestety czystość pokojów pozostawia wiele do życzenia (grzyb na ścianie, cieknący prysznic), podobnie jak ulokowany na zapleczu plac zabaw (nieco zruinowany i brudnawy). Nie radzę też jeść w hotelu śniadania (13€), tylko skorzystać z jednej z uroczych knajpek za rogiem, na typową paryską kawę i bułeczki za 7,5€. Personel nieco niekompetentny (recepcjonista przez 15 minut szukał dla nas pokoju 4-os chodząc po piętrach!, a rano próbowano mnie skasować ponownie za pobyt). /// /// /// /// ENGLISH: We are a family with 3 kids, and we were forced to spend one night in Paris before we wanted to depart for Dordogne. The location of the hotel is relatively good; a close distance to Metro (ca 50 m) is an advantage. The rooms seem to require some renovation (mold on the walls in the bathroom, leaking shower etc), similarly to playground in the backyard (slightly ruined and dirty). My next advice is not to take a breakfast for 13€ in the hotel, but instead of that to try one of surrounding bars (tasty coffee and croissants for 7.5 €). Hotel's personnel seems to need some training too (the receptionist tried to find the reserved room for us just walking throughout the floors and looking into empty rooms and another one tried to charge my card again on checking out the hotel).

9.1

We have been sleeping here for 4 nights and our coment is really positive. The position is good, ten minutes walking from Tour Eiffel, 20 minutes by subway from everywhere. The room is really quite, no noise at all, even if the hotel faces the subway line. Also its dimensions are generous, in particular the bathroom, something difficult to find in Paris. Cleaning is good. We had only to ask each evening for some extra towels, the ones they give are really few. The vote this hotel has been given by Venere is correct and we suggest it to whoever liked to have a nice staying in Paris. Just to underline that the paiment by credit card happened the day after the reservation by internet and not immediately after the stayment.

8.8

The metro is 10 meters away from the hotel entrance. This is for me important (line 6)

9.4

The front desk was very welcoming and called an excellent taxi driver for us. Our double room was clean and enormous- the biggest room I've ever experienced in France. This was an excellent price for what we got. My five-year-old loved to see the Eiffel Tower out of our hotel window.

8.7

Hotel Derby Garibaldi meet my standard

9.6

Extremely clean hotel, desk staff spoke Very good English. Breakfast (buffet style) was extra but well worth it, Room spacious, quiet and very clean again - also very hot! This is 2nd hotel booked though your website - bot reervations exactly as we expected - well done.

6.9

old and very small bathroom for our quadruple room; breakfast corner was so disappointing that we preferred to eat elsewhere

9.1

Great english speaking staff, very helpful and polite. Good location, right in front of metro station. Some mould in the shower but other than that the room and bathroom were very clean. Breakfast not included, which is not uncommon in europe. Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

8.2

We reserved 3 quad rooms but only 1 was available when we checked in so our party was split into 7 rooms instead of 3. 2 of our party were given single rooms that looked like closets so not exactly what we had expected. Clean rooms - cute hotel with lots of charm. Good location.

7.5

For the amount paid, I found the hotel to be a good value. Big room, decent bed, t.v. and all. Shower was a puzzlement. No curtain. Plexiglas door did not prevent water from finding its way to the bathroom floor while the shower was on. Also, the hotel was a bit hard to find. Might still be looking for it if I hadn't had help from two friendly Parisians. From an American point of view, rue garibaldi made no sense whatsoever. I came off the metro @ Sevre/LeCoubre and saw 65 Rue Garibaldi, therefore I thought that 92 would be further on, not directly opposite from where I stood. I don't think thats the fault of the hotel, just a difference between French and American thought. lol This was the first time I had been to Paris, so I have no other Parisian hotel experience to compare it to. I was traveling by myself. Finally, I had no idea as to the neighborhood surrounding the hotel, but it turned out to be in a great location. I love to walk, and I found the things I wanted to find either that way or via Le Metro. So, I feel that the hotel served my needs just fine, and I would book another stay there, if I'm lucky enough to return to Paris.

7.8

Breakfast is not included into price in the venere. Furniture in bathroom needs repairing.

8.0

Good price for money; I got what I expected except that the room was more spacious that I thought; we were three and we had plenty of space and quiteness. The location is also ok, relatively centric and just in front of a metro station.

9.5

A very well located hotel in great condition, Quad room was good for older family, a seperate twin and double suite. Bathroom could have done with a tidy up that's all. Should mention the overground Metro stop is just over the road and a two day all area pass was excellent value. Would good back - great rate negotiarted by Venere, Thanks

9.3

Friendly service, clean atmosphere, and a warm and quiet stay.

7.3

This is an older hotel but we found it to be quite comfortable and the staff very helpful. They stored our luggage for an entire day as we were sightseeing and ordered a taxi and pizza for us as none of us knew French. Beds were comfortable but it would have been nice to have A/C. Although there was a thermostat on the wall it never really seemed to cool the room off and we had to open the windows all night which allowed street noise that was a little loud. Overall our experience was very good. The location was within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and we even passed an ourdoor market on the way there. McDonalds is also within walking distance.
