The location of Hotel Dupont Smith is ideal. Although it is a short walk to some of the sights the best was to see Paris is on foot. That said the Metro is a five minute walk so Paris is easily accessible. The Marais area, in which the hotel is located, is welcoming and friendly and there is plenty there to see and do with a great variety of restaurants. The Hotel itself is lovely. The rooms are well appointed and clean and the staff will do all they can to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible - we could not have asked for more. Hotel Dupond-Smith will be the first place we would look to book when we return to Paris

There truly were no negatives

Location is great, right in the heart of the Marais. Next to a lot of shops and restaurants. We stayed in the Junior Suite so that was great because it was huge.

Bathroom fittings are not ergonomic. The shower taps were difficult to handle and also not intuitive, and the overhead shower would not turn off immediately. The taps were particularly difficult for my elderly mum to use. Sink is too shallow and the counter top would get very wet after washing your face. The fragrance diffuser in the toilet was empty and so useless. The hotel is very poorly signed so it can be difficult to find.

Hotel Dupond Smith is the very definition of tranquility and style in the heart of Paris. Tucked away in the charming Marais district, it offers a peaceful haven after a day spent exploring the city’s bustling streets. The location is perfect — close enough to walk to major sights, and surrounded by a wonderful selection of bars and cafés catering to every taste and budget. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that the people who run this hotel genuinely care about their guests. Nothing is too much trouble; their warmth and attention to detail set the tone for the entire stay. Freshly baked cookies welcome you back each afternoon, a simple but thoughtful touch that perfectly captures the spirit of the place. Hotel Dupond Smith is a shining example of what true five-star service means — not measured in grandeur, pomp, or ceremony, but in understanding what travelers really need: comfort, calm, and a genuine sense of being looked after. If you’re searching for a large, cosmopolitan hotel with bustling lobbies and conference rooms, this isn’t the place for you. But if you value classic French boutique style, a warm welcome, and a sense of effortless luxury, Hotel Dupond Smith is simply perfect.

The hotel is well situated. You feel the life style of the Parisien. Little shops, cafés, bars in the neighbourhood. The hotel itself is beautifully equipped. The receptionist, Justine, even baked a fantastic chocolate cake for her guests and was extremely friendly and helpful. We felt at home. In our room we even had a little terrasse.

That we didn‘t stay longer.

This is among the best hotels we’ve stayed in. We opted for a suite and did not regret our decision, as the seating area allowed us to sprawl and lounge after active days in the city. Despite being on level 1 (second floor to us Americans), the room was very quiet; however, we enjoyed opening the windows while in the seating area to listen to the hum and heartbeat of the city. The room was thoughtfully laid out. The location is terrific in Le Marais, with easy access to Metro and easy walking distance to Île de la Cité. The staff was especially helpful and we enjoyed breakfast served daily in our room. There are only 8 rooms in the hotel, so it is intimate and personal.

Incredible property. Located in a wonderful district with shopping and food galore, yet tucked away in a quiet alley so you don’t get the noise of the streets. As soon as you enter, you’re greeted by a great smile and wonderful, fresh baked cakes. The service was impeccable by all three receptionists’. Any request we had, it was completed right away. Call this restaurant for me and make a reservation, can I get an ice pack for my ankle, call me a taxi please- all of these requests were done promptly. They always went the extra mile. As for the facilities, the rooms were spacious as well. Superior room perfect for 2 people, and the suite was quite large for my family of 4. Overall, this was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The service, location, amenities, facilities and even breakfast were excellent. Hope to visit again soon!

It was a perfect location to see all of the main tourist attractions . The hotel team were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble; they made our first visit to Paris a breeze , with recommendations for restaurants, directions and best ways to travel. We stayed in a suite with a terrace which was lovely . The toiletries were so delightful that I ordered some for delivery to home to bring me a little reminder of our wonderful stay for months to come .

We loved it all

The location was great and the staff were very nice! I would recommend anyone who wants to go to Paris to stay here. It is placed right by a metro line and is surrounded by amazing tourist spots in walkable distance. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

We were warmly welcomed by Nicolas—the rest of the staff during our stay were amazing. The location is great and the room was so comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast in the cozy dining room and all the extra special touches (warm baked treats each night). Really enjoyed the big soaking tub!

Nothing — only that we couldn’t stay longer.

Hotel Dupond is located in a lovely area that is very central and well connected with trains from the airport and the metro to all the major sites. The room was nice and clean and the staff were very helpful. They gave us a welcome drink and warm cookies on arrival which was so nice.

Ideally it would be nice to have a bigger lobby or a bar to relax in but we were very happy with our choice nonetheless
