Hôtel Le Royal

This was a return visit and once again, we were really pleased with our stay. We booked a superior room, which is beautifully decorated, and very spacious for a Paris hotel, including a lovely bathroom. Everything is super clean, and it was great to be able to regulate the temperature in the room for ourselves, without a noisy aircon. And we could also open a window! I ended up with a massive migraine on my last day, and the staff were incredibly helpful, much appreciated. The hotel is well located, right near Vavin Metro station and bus stops, a few minutes walk from Gare Montparnasse, and close to so many fantastic restaurants & stores, whilst being just a bit out of the tourist trap districts to feel quite peaceful at night. We really enjoy this neighborhood and will definitely return! As with all hotels, the breakfast price could be lower. I'm not a breakfast person, so 17 euros for a coffee and a croissant is too much. We opted to go to the brasseries next door for our morning starts. The last time we stayed, we received a complimentary breakfast inclusion - this was such a good incentive to book.

Super beautiful and big room. Close to the park and metro station. Lovely reception and overall amazing stay

Hotel le Royal, 212 Boulevard Raspail, is a wonderful boutique hotel, just off Blvd du Montparnasse. Traffic and cyclists go by, as do several bus lines, with a bus stop just across the street and metro stops nearby. There is easy walking access to restaurants, shops, banks, Jardin du Luxembourg and so much more!!

We arrived in the morning, directly from our flight into Orly and were warmly greeted by Rose at reception, who stated that our triple room was ready early! During check-in, I discovered that I had left my phone in the Welcome car. Rose quickly sprang into action, getting us logged into their free wi-fi on our tablet so we could retrieve the driver’s name and number. She quickly called him, and he was able to return to the hotel to drop off the phone. Rose was absolutely friendly, pleasant, kind and helpful during a stressed-filled start to our 28-day France vacation.

Rose and another young lady were always warm and gracious whenever we entered or exited the hotel during our one-week stay. Our room was quite comfortable with a lovely window view over the neighborhood. And we always returned to a well-cleaned room all nicely made up! Le Royal offers a delicious dining room breakfast buffet for an extra charge, which we occasionally enjoyed!

Hotel Le Royal went above and beyond, acknowledging our 40th anniversary with a chilled bottle of white wine and two wine glasses awaiting us in our room when we returned that day! Excellent customer service!

We applaud Director Hakim Ouassini and his entire staff for offering a clean, quaint but updated hotel that we highly recommend!

Hotel was small but cosy it catered to all our needs, staff were very helpful. Room was spotless and had lovely french windows to open. Appreciated the free coffee and tea service.

We received a warm welcome from the lovely receptionist and were told our room would be ready in 20 minutes (3 hours earlier than expected). I had booked a superior room and was pleased with the size and amount of wardrobe space available. The bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The beds were a little soft for us but we slept well. There are free hot drinks and water available 24 hours. The hotel is in a great location with plenty of restaurants and 2 metro stations within a few minutes walk. There’s a great bakery across the road. I would definitely stay here again next time we visit Paris.

There are many positive aspects of this hotel. Unfortunately, there are some basic problems that are hard to ignore. We booked a family room and appreciated that it came with a double bed and two twin beds. Perfect for our family of four. The location of the hotel is also excellent - next to the Vavin metro station and within 10-15 mins (by car of transit) to all major attractions.

However, the sewer smell from the bathroom was tough. I suppose it was because the sewer lines are old. Also, the AC was very weak. The hotel should really supply table fans to their guests. Paris was having an extreme heatwave and we were forced to buy a table fan with our own money. Most other hotels in Europe give your fans if you ask.

On the last night, there was water dripping from the bathroom ceiling. We called the reception and were told that it was condensation from the AC duct. By the time we were checking out the next morning, water was falling like rain and the bathroom was flooded.

There are other quirky things. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was way too high. No child could reach it and even my wife struggled. There was also no iron in the room due to "security reason". Weird. Finally, the breakfast was very basic, mainly consisting of pastries and cold cuts. Not many fresh options.

When I was in Paris, I spent six nights at the Hotel Le Royal, and I don't have enough good things to say about it. I arrived at 7:30 am on Sunday morning after a long night of travel. Although I was expecting not to check in to my room until 3:00 pm, the room was ready at 7:35 am! And better yet, it was an upgrade! The hotel is located at 212, boulevard Raspail in the 14e arrondissement. That's just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens, Gare Montparnasse, and excellent restaurants. Rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Reservations are refundable. Rooms contain international plugs to charge your phones. There is free tea and coffee in the lobby all day whether you are part of the breakfast plan or not. Special thanks to Isabelle and to Fiona at the hotel for their help while I was there. You want late check-out? Just ask a day or two in advance. A family with young children wanted their room cleaned so the kids could take a nap. Their room was clean in 20 minutes. If hotel is full, you can reserve at their sister hotel, Jardin le Brea, which is five minutes away. My only suggestion or constructive criticism is for the hotel to provide large bottles of water for hot days. Otherwise, I give it douze points, just like in Eurovision. I stayed there before in 2019, and I have no doubt that I will stay there again.

Spotless hotel and very helpful staff.

Very charming hotel and close to lots of dining options. Small rooms but really comfy. Just start walking, cut throughout the Jardin du Luxembourg (5 min) and you will get to lots of cool areas in Paris. Enjoy.

I'm happy with our selection of this hotel. I would stay there again in the future... being central to Monparnasse was ideal.

We have stayed at this hotel 13 times since 2010! We always deal directly with the hotel which is very easy to do. Our rooms are frequently upgraded which is nice. Regardless, ours are always clean, air conditioned and quiet. Front desk is helpful.
Breakfast room is bright and cheerful. Fruits, yogurt, cereal and assortment of breads available. The scrambled eggs are pre-done- no stove in the small “kitchen”, and we now skip them!😒
This will always be our go-to Paris hotel. We have recommended it to many friends and received positive reports back from them.
Highly recommend. Close to Metro stops and 2 great restaurants (both local favorites) : Le Gymnase - 3 doors down and wonderful hamburgers!
La Gentiane- short walk away- best 3 chocolate dessert you will ever taste to finish a tasty meal!

Highly recommend Hotel le Royal for its convenient location and charm.

Decent hotel. A short walk from the Gare Montparnasse. Rooms are decent size for Paris. Breakfast is OK (not spectacular). Despite being on a big street it's quiet and comfortable inside. There are a couple of good restaurants close by.

We enjoyed our stay at Le Hotel Royal. Facilities were well-maintained and staff was very helpful. We had a room for 4 and it was a nice size and we appreciated that they had the 2 extra beds set up for us when we arrived. The hallways were warm but air conditioning in our room was good and much appreciated. Elevator was tiny, but glad they at least had one. Location was close to many restaurants, but felt a bit more removed than we wished for.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Le Royal. Walking distance to many restaurants and the Metro. Hotel staff was very courteous and helpful with and requests. Rooms were clean and spacious. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.

An incredible stay! AC Worked SO GOOD that made our stay the best one yet! The staff were extremely friendly and the bathroom was amazing! I also loved that the best restaurants in Paris were near by!

Warm, charming, and comfortable hotel. Bed and pillows were perfect. Well soundproofed, even though we faced a busy boulevard. The superior category of room is large by European standards! Lovely stay.

Location was excellent. Close to metro stations and a 10 minute walk to the Luxembourg Gardens. People at reception were kind and accommodating. The room was nice, facing the street. No noise coming in, so that was good. Overall, a really nice place to stay.

Clean, friendly, comfortable hotel with spacious "junior suite" (including two bathroom sinks and a separate shower and bathtub/shower). Pretty and stylish decor with plenty of natural light and French windows that open--with heavy, velvet blackout drapes. Very convenient location to metro and RER station, numerous restaurants, groceries, Luxembourg Garden and Montparnasse. Free espresso all day in the breakfast room and mini-fridge in room. Would be nice for the superior rooms and suites to have their own Nespresso machine.
