hi i was wondering if anyone had any first hand experiences at this hotel that they would like to share. <BR>thanks

It's been asked about before on here - I have stayed there & it's an excellent location but the rooms are a bit small with rather average furnishings. Mixed reviews from others - some liked it, some didn't. <BR>

Be sure to check out hotel danube francois a joy at this site, you'll get much more information. Great place to stay!!

It is way above average, marble bathrooms, down pillows, nice draperies, charming salon. And of course for no extra charge Severin and FRancois. [But you should tip]. pj

sandra,<BR>We spent 4 very happy days at the Danube during Easter week in room #15 on the 4th floor on the street side. It's a very large twin, particularly for Parisian standards, with the salmon wall paper, salmon floral bedspreads and headboards in matching fabric, 2 antique night tables, decent reading lights, an antique bureau, antique table in the middle of the rm with two side chairs (that served as our dining table) and marble bath with h. dryer, Roger & Gallet toiletries but hand-held shower in the tub with no shower curtain. We really appreciated the room's spaciousness and the care shown to us by all the staff, plus the handy imac with high speed Internet connection in the lobby to check email each day and one day laundry/dry cleaning service. We paid 130 euros, including vat.<BR>Our rm did have its couple of "quirks" that some might find annoying rather than endearing-the radiator produced so much heat (no individual thermostat control) that we had to sleep with the windows open, and the antique (well, some would just say "aging") bureau drawers were hard to open and close, but we found the overall atmosphere at the Danube to be comfortable and cozy, like an old shoe-like staying with family. We would certainly return. It's a solid value for such an elegant street in such a great (and quiet) location, a few blocks from the Seine in the heart of St. Germain.<BR>But we wouldn't chose the Danube during the summer, as it has no a.c.<BR>
