Royale Villa Paris

( 2 stars , Paris , France )

+ great deco, buzzy, interesting area, great views - Sometimes the neighbourhood gets rough and noisy, prices in mini-bar, rooms are somewhat small.

We were satisfied staying at this hotel for the first time. However, staff is very inexperienced for a 4 star hotel (with exception of Maroccan lady who made up with extra friendliness). In summary: if you can get the full discount the small Villa rooms are acceptable, otherwise it is overpriced. There is no free Internet service available at the hotel but at restaurants nearby.

- the location is not a very nice one for girls only

our weekend was not good because of the hotel, the room was very very uncomfortable (the door of the toilet was so near the bed that we could open just about at 45°), little, with wall paper with tears. the worst thing was that when we went to pay, they said that my credit card and my bancomat are unable (i used them before and later and i didn't have problems) so we have to pay cash (the expensive total!) after that we came back from the bancomat point. i think that they don't know the use of credit card and bancomat because at the bancomat point i could take all the money that i wanted, but it's not normal to walk on pigalle with a lot of money to pay the hotel ! and the employees don't want to work and are very rudes. In Italy that hotel could be hardly 3 stars hotel.

+ the furnishings and decour - were not very friendly there.

+ location --- proximity to Metro - noise from the outside, rooms are fully sound proof

with a little more warmth in the btahroom it would be perfect

+ Stylish boutique-hotel, recently decorated, walking distance to Lafayette & Opera, a bar on the ground floor that works long hours. - Sometimes the neighbourhood gets rough and noisy, prices in mini-bar, rooms are somewhat small.

Villa Royale, Paris This hotel reminded me of a brothel room in Moulin Rouge! I was quite surprised. If you like a red room filled with silks and satins, and red lamps, this is the place for you. It is in Montmartre, so maybe it fits. I had two main problems. There is a club to the right of the hotel and of course, our room was on that corner. So, when the bouncers were having arguments with a patron, we heard that French argument in our 3rd floor room. These arguments would sometimes take place at 3 or 4 in the morning. When we talked to the hotel administration, they were unwilling to change our room, although people were checking out, so I don’t understand why we couldn’t have been switched. My other issue was there were no hand towels in the bathroom. When we requested some, the language problem expanded. Maybe it’s a European thing. It was also an inconvenience to have to leave your keys at the desk each time we left the hotel and wait to be buzzed in on our return.

+ very romantic rooms
