Villa Royale Montsouris

I really wanted to love this place. Before arriving, I looked over reviews on several travel sites and thought it was so cute. I liked the boutique hotel feel and was more than excited to stay here.
The day of arrival, we checked in at the time we were instructed to check in to be told that our room was not ready. We had to leave our luggage and kill time in the area before our room was ready. We headed out to lunch and explored the surrounding areas. The hotel is located in a very residential neighborhood. Nice area with a beautiful park nearby, but it has limited selection of restaurants. So finding lunch was a tad hard.
When we returned from lunch, our room was ready. We asked for two twin beds. When provided keys we were instructed that any time we were to leave, we would have to leave the room key with the front desk. And that someone would be available ²⁴⁄₇ at the front desk. We thought this was a tad strange and inconvenient. We walked into the tiny elevator that didn’t hold both of our luggage comfortably. It was extremely tight and we were sweating. If you are claustrophobic take the stairs. But beware, the stairs are cut real thin. So if you are used to the wide American cut stairs, then there is a good chance you may fall down these. So use caution!
The room was quaint and decorated real cute. I loved the décor and the old Paris feel the room had. However, I hated the moldy humid smell that lingered throughout the hotel and especially in the room. The two twin beds were pushed up right next to one another. The floors were dirty. The entire room had a musty dirty feel to it. It was extremely dark, even with all the lights on and the window open. The bathtub and shower combination didn’t have doors. So when showering all the water would go on to the bathroom floor. So clearly they encouraged you to take baths, but the bath tub wasn’t clean. I couldn’t get myself to take a bath.
The WiFi in the hotel is awful. It barely works in the room, and worked only a tad better in the lobby. Which explains why it is free.
The hotel stay includes cold breakfast. Which includes yogurt, breads, pastries, cereals, cold cut meats and fruit. The dining area is on the basement level floor and is quaint. The server is extremely rude.
The front desk employees are nice and helpful.
Because this was part of our travel package deal, we didn’t know the hotel room rates. But regardless, we wouldn’t come back. The entire time we were uncomfortable and looked forward to our next hotel stay that we had on our agenda. We stayed here 3 nights and it was too much. One night here is sufficient.

Très bel hôtel, dépaysant, les chambres sont bien insonorisées, le personnel est accueillant, si je dois trouver un défaut c’est peut être le couloir: on entends les voisins qui sont dans le couloir. Aussi la chambre paraissait un peu petite mais assez grande pour une nuit, je conseillerai cet hôtel à un couple.

Acceptable mais…
Cet hotel est bien situé dans la capitale, ce qui permet de visiter les monuments de Paris facilement. Mais pour ce qui est du service, il n’est pas à la hauteur, mieux vaut pour le prix avoir réservé une chambre en prix dégriffé…

Passez votre chemin
Si cet établissement apparaît sur ce guide comme un 2 étoiles, il est vendu comme un 4 étoiles sur la plupart des sites de réservation en ligne… Les chambres sont minuscules, au point qu’à deux il n’est pas possible de se croiser. La chambre en soi n’est pas désagréable au niveau décoration mais elle né vaut pas le tarif exorbitant de 290 euros pour deux personnes !! Idem pour le petit déjeuner totalement ordinaire facturé 14 euros par personne. Sans parler de l’entretien plutôt douteux. Le seul vrai point fort de l’hôtel c’est sa proximité avec le parc du même nom. Vivement je vous déconseille de séjourner dans cet hôtel.

Simple mais confortable
Un hôtel plutôt sympa: chambres confortables, décor reposant et surtout très bien situé, à proximité de Montparnasse, alors profitez-​en pour un séjour-​découverte de la capitale.

Ok mais sans plus…
Bonne situation pour cet hôtel. La décoration d’aspiration orientale est assez sympa. Mais pour ce qui est du service, il faudra repasser, surtout si vous avez réservé une chambre en prix dégriffé…
