Hotel Derby Eiffel

To be honest, I struggled to find anything negative about this hotel, not that I was looking for problems, I wasn’t, I just felt from reading reviews that it got a little bad press here and there (you can’t please everyone all of the time I suppose) which is really unjustified in my humble opinion. The staff were really lovely to us throughout our stay. Our room wasn’t ready on arrival so we were able to safely leave our bags and go out and explore Paris. The Eiffel Tower is a short walk away and there’s many shops and restaurants surrounding the hotel so don’t worry about location! We are a family of 3 so got a triple room, there were no triple rooms with a tower view when we asked but it wasn’t an issue as it could be seen as soon as you walked out the hotel door which was nice. The room was modern, clearly recently renovated, and spotlessly clean. It had plenty toiletries and towels for us to use as well as spare pillows and a spare quilt if needed which it wasn’t as the room was lovely and warm. We all had a great sleep having just left Disney after an exhausting few days! There was a hairdryer in the bathroom ladies (and some men!) so no need to bring one with you and an excellent, large, walk-in shower. A lot of people in the below reviews are moaning about the size of rooms, don’t let that put you off, we didn’t have an issue with that at all there was plenty of room for the 3 of us (we had a triple though so could have been why). There was plenty storage for clothes and our belongings also. The only thing missing was a kettle and coffee making facilities but not the end of the world, you’re in Paris after all, go out and get a decent coffee! Breakfast was plentiful with lots to choose from. It did take some time for the hot cooked food to come out and be replenished but it was nice and chilled so we were in no rush and the girl on duty did explain she was on her own so understandable, she was such a lovely girl and nothing was a bother to her. Overall we are so happy with our choice of hotel, a little high priced for a 3 star hotel but that’s Paris for you, they all are! I wouldn’t hesitate to go back or recommend to others. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality.
