Villa Royale

A rather decent hotel with each room dedicated to a certain type of Artist Desginer most of them French The more expensive rooms get you the more upmarket designers Louis Vuitton Coco Chanel etc The room i stayed in overlooked Pigalle Square and it was quite a nice atmosphere and view from my balcony Pigalle metro station is less than 30 metres from the hotel entrance which is a big plus With pretty good views of Sacre Coeur rooms facing the front of the hotel and a 10 minute walk from Moulin Rouge its not the worst place to be in The rooms are rather nice with decorated carpets plush wallpaper and an ornate bathroom The beds were comfy a touch on the firmer side but still nice A generous amount of storage space for one room with a good 12 hangars in the wardrobe Just round the corner from the hotel is a long road full of sex shops and strip clubs Didn t really bother me that they were there but its worth pointing out that there are a LOT

Approaching the hotel from Pigalle Metro Station you see a large sign saying Villa Royale atop a building and a few doors at the bottom of that building directly below the sign As i went into those doors i am told that this is not the hotel just a cafe The actual entrance to the hotel is around the corner Opening the door to the hotel which is a VERY heavy door there is no immediate sign of reception just some chairs and paintings I had no idea where to go until a worker walked past and took me to the reception a tiny thing not bigger than a schooldesk I checked in fine but i was rather surprised that every single time i leave the hotel i have to give the key back to the reception staff and they will give it back to me upon my return After coming back from a days activities i go to reception to get my key back from a person i had not met before and all i had to do was say the room number and he gave me the key to the room This begs the question of could anyone saunter into that hotel and ask for any room key and they d get it There were literally no checks and this made me a tiny bit worried about my belongings when i was out and about No complaints about the room but if you want to be extra picky it was a small gap between the bed and the wardrobe so for people who are slightly larger it may prove a problem Also one of the wardrobe doors opens less than halfway because of the bed

The rooms were decorated lovely and the staff were always very helpful polite and attentive Hotel was Infront of a metro station and we found it very easy to travel around Paris We stayed in the basic double room a little small but perfect for the two of us

The only problem we had was with the toilet door Unfortunately it was just a glass sliding door that didn t fully close and was fogged but you could see faint shadows from both sides

Full of character Very funky Colourful Close to Montmartre which is a fantastic area We also got upgraded to a larger room which was very kind

Wifi wasn t good but managed to log into another hotel s and lift was slow but we weren t in a rush Bathroom could do with a bit of updating but it was fine

The boutique decor was beautiful and I was overwhelmed so much better than I expected

Having to pay 50 deposit as well as full balance on arrival I had not anticipated or budgeted for the 50 and when I checked out I was told it could take up to 10 days to be be refunded to my account

In General was Good

Price is very Expensive comparing to the place WIFI is very Bad this place not nice in the night

clean comfortable room in good location

Noise from outside

Just one word waste of money

I ve been upgraded to luxury room with whirpool there s no number of the room but each room has own name my room was Yves Saint Laurent My room was in the fifth floor with view to Sacre coeur really beautiful So beautiful room like on old castle so romantic Very friendly staff good breakfast The best location metro station is in the front of the hotel

only one thing very poor internet conection

Everything was excelent the only small problem it was room the roof was a little bit broken

Rooms carefully decorated in style

Few lighting in the room in the evening
