PROS: Great location for all of Paris' sites, metro & restaurants. Great breakfast buffet. Very friendly staff that speaks French, English & Spanish. CONS: Lift is for one person & one small bag. Wait for lift can be 5+ minutes. WI FI is guaranteed in your room. It didn't work for 7 days. I had to go 3 floors down... more

Service is what this hotel is all about. It starts with perfectly-maintained rooms that are automatically freshened mid-day and then over dinner. But what makes this hotel really stand out is the responsiveness of the staff. Need more hangers, a last-minuted dinner reservation, an idea for a tour, help connecting your laptop to the free Internet cable, coffee in the... more

This was my wife and my first trip to Paris. I, like you probably, agonized over where to stay. What hotel, what area, blah, blah, blah. Let me tell you this hotel is in a beautiful part of Paris, with access to the metro or the RER (for those trips to Versailles). The Louvre is a 10 minute walk, as... more

We stayed there for 12 nights in February 2009. The staff was very friendly. The front desk staff was always gentle and helpful. The rooms were confortable and clean. The breakfast was very good. The location next to St. Michel Place, near Sena river, Notre Dame, St. Chappelle, Louvre, Luxemburgo gardem, Pantheon, Sorbone, good restaurants and few steps from the... more

We just got back from six days in Paris with our three teenage daughters. It was a wonderful trip! The hotel is 200 feet from a Metro station and a four minute walk to Notre Dame. The rooms were clean and well appointed, but small. Breakfast was included, which is always helpful when trying to get a lot of sightseeing... more

Key point is the proximity to the RER B for Charles de Gaulle airport and also for the lovely surrounding buzzy area with the river, Notre Dame close by too. The Hotel is a well run entity with very helpful staff. more

If you can get over the affiliation with Best Western (turns out they own a lot of really nice hotels in Paris - some better or pricier than the Hotel Royal), then there is nothing bad to say about this hotel. As a matter of fact, theres only superlative praise. We were promised and received two adjoining rooms, with an... more

For the price we paid, this was a great value. Yes, the rooms are small, but they were very nice and extremely clean. On St. Michel Blvd., within an easy walk of Notre Dame, St. Chappelle, and steps from the Metro. We easily covered the entire city from this location, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the neighborhood around the hotel.... more

I write because we have relied on Tripadvisor in Europe and elsewhere before, but this time it was a great mistake to count on "good" reviews. At very best, it should be 2- or 3-star, with a related price, how it got 4-star we cannot understand. Elevator barely accommodates two normal people without bags -- my husband gave up and... more
