La Villa Royale  

This hotel could do with some maintenance (i.e. buttons falling off upholstery in elevator, dirty sky light). Overall we were pleased with our room, except that it was very windy that night and our fireplace made a racket all night long that prevented us from sleeping. When we asked the front desk about it, they promised to have someone look at it the next day. It's hard to believe we were the first people to ever experience this problem! The location was a bit downmarket, but the rooms are very well sound proofed so we weren't bothered too much by the noise when the sex shows close around 2:30 every morning. I'm sure we would have paid double the price to have the same hotel in a better neighborhood, so all in all we were satisfied.

The location

I was beside a night night club that was openeded 24 hours

We liked the individual nature of La Villa Royale - shades of Madame Pompadour with excess buttoned red velvet lining all the doors! The rooms are quirky - named after famous persons; we stayed in John Lennon on the 4th floor. All the plumbing works; smallish room with comfortable double bed; windows which open. Lift to all floors. We stayed 2 nights and found staff helpful and friendly - despite our bad French. Situated only 100mts. From Pigalle Metro station and plenty of decent eating places nearby. Walked up into Montmartre & Sacre Coeur - down to Lafayette. Very convenient location. Monoprix opposite hotel. Interior gives effect of faded glory but would happily use the hotel again. Did not use the restaurant facility - found places nearby for that.

Would have appreciated some provision of drinking vessels other than cheap plastic disposable glasses (single use) which readily tipped over. No English TV available on any channel - deep disappointment.

The room style was great - like a lush bordello. On arrival we were given a free upgrade to a deluxe room with a jacuzzi, which was very fun. The hotel is 1 minute away from Pigalle metro station, which is handy.

The hotel is located in the sex district of Paris, approximately one minute from a brothel and the Sexodrome sex shop... Which is actually quite funny. But there were some really shady characters around at night.

Great location opposite Metro station and close to Sacre Coeur and surrounding Montmatre. Jacuzzi bath was awesome.

Bit frayed around the edges needing a bit of a facelift. Didn't realise before booking however, is surrounded by Parisian versian of Soho. Little embarrassing for my wife and me being with her. Air conditioning was knackered. We turned it off but still woke up with very dry mouths and ended up feeling a bit ill.

Walking into our room was like stepping onto a set out of Moulin Rouge. We wanted a true Artistic Parisien experience and we werent let down. It was very romantic and quirky at the same time. Nothing was a problem for our hostess even guiding us to some of Montmartes finest restaurants. Our Spa leaked all over the floor on our first night and we were upgraded to an equally cute room without any fuss at all. the metro is literally 50 meters away. We had a beautiful view of the Basillica and we hardly noticed the noise at all. Id definetly stay again and recommend to anyone wanting something out of the ordinary.

Not suitable for families or people who may be a little bit snooty. You need to appreciate the area for what it is. Its definetly a part of what makes Paris the city of Love

Excellent location and the rooms are funny, brothel like. So much different than other -regular- hotels.

Very small ( tiny) rooms, kinda old and rusty, the sparkling has gone and needs some refurbishing.

The worst value for money in my life. Frightening location. Not enough stuff. No feeling of security. They have to keep entrance doors locked. Last 2 stars are misplaced (not deserved).

The friendly service and reception. The outstanding decor. Also we were upgraded to a luxury room.

Location (5 minutes from metro), room (Victor Hugo) was very spacious and in a fantasy like moulin rouge style! Jacuzzi is huge, can fit three people.

Don't expect any room service or spa.

Mi piace tutto e ci ritorno!!!

La habitación tenía chimenea y una bañera con jacuzzi que nos vino de lujo para entrar en calor tras los paseos por parís a temperaturas bajo cero. La decoración era muy original. Pero en pequeños detalles habían muchos desperfectos que no son típicos de un 4****

Ничего не понравилось. Это была рекомендация туркомпании. Отель стал шоком для нас с мужем, как и месторасположение. Никому бы его не порекомендовала. Но мы постарались отнестись к этому эпизоду с юмором. Шкаф, в котором мы провели 5 ночей, носил имя Наоми Кэмпбелл. Рядом были такие же шкафы с громкими именами на дверях. В общем: не для слабых!
