Villa Royale Montsouris

Clean and cute

I was surprised by this room. It was really cute, and clean. A little far from the city center but close to train and bus stops. It was a little small, but as I was only sleeping there I didn't mind. I would not recommend for tall people though, the doorway and the shower area are a little low. Overall, it was a beautiful and clean room.

Needs improvement

I chose this hotel based on previous reviews on hotels.com. It lived up to the pictures and it was clean and charming. Unfortunately we came at a time when they were having problems television reception, air conditioning, and the safes int the rooms were not operating. Also we were told that they were a 24 hour service hotel but when we down for coffee at 11 pm we were told it was unavailable. When we told the morning desk manager he apologised as they should have accommidated us.

so, so

Hardly a 4 star hotel, a bit out of the way but restaurants and Metro access about 2 blocks away. The bed and room were very small--you have to close your wallet in order to open your purse. ;-) Only a couple TV stations, none in english; limited power outlets--all connected to the light switch (have to have the lights on to use a power outlet). The free internet service didn't work but internet (for a fee) did. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Well kept however size does matter

Pluses: - The staff was very friendly - The hotel was extremely clean - They made the most of the space - The decor was nice - It was in walking distance from the metro and the RER (directly to CDG) Minuses: - The rooms are very very small (no bigger than 10 x 12) - Not centrally located but the Parisian metro system makes up for this - Lacked in terms of amentities in the room (but they probably wouldn't fit anyway)

Honeymoon experience

The hotle staff was helpful and friendly. There is a charge for parking in a garage about a 10 minute walk away, or you can park on the street. Parkng on the street is limited and does cost. You can also risk getting a citation for not payng on the street which is 11 euros, also cheeper than the parking garage. The hotel room was small compared to the U.S. standards which we expected but comfortable enough. It was unique in decorations. We were only there for one night so it suited us well. If we had been staying longer I would not reccomend it. Although you are not in the room much so it would be fine if your were planning on taking the public transportation and doing alot of sight seeing.

Very Small Room and Bathroom

Room and bathroom very small. Pretty far from attractions, but very close to metro system.

Would Definitely Return

The hotel was just as most of the reviews and their own description said. We paid the upcharge for a larger room and were pleased we did. The price was still very competitive. The regular rooms were very small as most rooms in European Cities are. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was a couple of blocks from the metro but very convenient for all the touring we wanted to do once we got use to the public system. Thanks for a wonderful visit. Hope to see you soon.

Villa Royale Montsouris Review

This hotel is in NO WAY a 4 star... The room was so small that our luggage had a hard time fitting into the room if we were also in the room. They didn't even provide ice or a tea kettle to prepare a cup of tea or coffee. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to a dog.

Very Nice

Room was somewhat small, but all rooms in Paris are. Great use of space and beautiful, creative appointments. The location is a little far from all the major sites, however just a short walk from the metro so it is quite convenient and in a good neighborhood. There is no convenient parking for the hotel which was the only major negative. The staff was very nice, except for one front desk person who was only on duty for half our time there. The other gentleman was very nice and helpful.

A wonderful experience

We were very pleased with this hotel. The staff speaks English, they were very friendly, and they were very accomodating. The room was clean and comfortable. After what I've read about bathrooms in hotel rooms in France we were pleased with the size and space of this one. The hotel is about 2 km from the center of Paris but there is a Metro station within two blocks and an RER station within four blocks. Use either one of these transportation systems and you'll be where you want to be within minutes.

Great Hotel for the Money

Not the best location as it's a little out of the way but good price for the money. It was rated 4 stars but I consider it to be more like 2.5 - 3.
