Villa Royale Montsouris

LikedReally pretty quirky hotel in a nice safe area, easy walking to restaurants. Only a short ride on metro back into attractions and only one change coming out from CDG, you can stay on and change later than Gare du Nord so avoiding crowds.

DislikedNo negatives

LikedThe style and colours of the hotel are really nice, it is also clean. The bed is big and comfortable. We liked the breakfast, too.

DislikedThe staff is not really friendly and seems annoyed if you talk to them. The breakfast staff seems bored and is not very polite with the guests. That is the same for the woman at the reception. We have been to many hotels around the world and everywhere the staff was better. Considering that the price is not that low, we were a little bit disappointed. The bathroom is beautiful but the shower didn't have pressure and fluctuated from hot to cold water. The hotel is badly soundproofed.

LikedGood breakfasts

LikedBreakfast

DislikedUncomfortable bed, water pressure low in the morning, unfriendly receptionist

LikedStaff very helpful, breakfast excellent, decor pleasantly unusual (Moroccan). Location relatively close to both RER and metro and the Parc Montsouris.

DislikedThe room was a bit small for the size of the bed, so not a lot of space for moving around. (OK for one person, not good for two.) Bathroom door closing mechanism rustic but easy to catch oneself on, given the small space. First 2 nights were quiet, 3rd less (other guests).
