Royal Phare Hotel

Propre et pas cher. Hôtel très compétitif et bien placé. A recommander particulièrement pour les séjours professionnels ou de courte durée.

Scored a private single for myself for 85 euros a night recently online. It’s a true 2 star hotel since you are paying strictly for location. They let you check in at noon which is earlier than most which is nice. Everything in European hotels is smaller. They had the smallest elevator that I’ve ever seen in my life. I was somehow able to fit in with 1 suitcase my purse and a large duffle. My room was tiny and bare-​bones, but I expected that. My bathroom likewise was tiny. You couldn’t even put things above the toilet because they would fall off lol. That being said the tiny shower had awesome pressure despite the size. I have no idea how a woman would shave comfortably though. There’s a little refrigerator which really came in handy. Other than the size the only cons I have would be:1. The walls. I heard every sound the couple next door made from every fart to every fake orgasm. 2. I could have used more towels in the bathroom. 3. One afternoon I came back to my room to change. This was already after housekeeping cleaned my room. One of the workers was knocking at my door to try to get in. No idea why?
Cannot comment on the breakfast as I didn’t pay for it (why would you do this in Paris unless it’s complimentary?) Only met 2 people working there and they were fine.
I would definitely return to this hotel! For the price I got everything I wanted which was a clean room, a good shower, an elevator, and awesome location. It’s right in front if the metro at etoclair molitaire and there’s a supermarket next to the hotel. You are less than a 10 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. Sadly my room had no review of it but a nice view of Parisian apartments. I also walked back from Invalides (Napoleon’s Tomb). It was a long walk for me but I’m fat.
TIP: With transportation just buy the 1 day Mobi zone 1 – 2 each day for 6.80 Euros. It’s cheaper than buying the Vistor pass and more convenient than buying the set of 10 tickets. Aside from Versailles you will most likely never go beyond zones 1 and 2.

For 94 E a night, this was great! We got a room w/​two twin beds. It also had a desk and a TV and bedside tables and a closet. The bathroom was relatively spacious, and the shower worked well with plenty of pressure and warm water. The room was turned over every day. Best of all, the hotel offers free wifi. The elevator is TINY, but there is one and it does work (good for our 6^th floor stay). The floors have about 5 rooms per floor I believe, so it is a relatively small place. You do have to be buzzed in to enter, so there is always someone in the lobby – at least, we never had trouble getting in. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

(this review was from a visit in 2009)
This hotel was a good value. The location is excellent — close to all sorts of tourist locations, easy Metro access, and a very nice clean neighborhood. The rooms are small, and amenities are very sparse, although this was expected considering the value price. While they don’t advertise internet access, they had a laptop up in the hotel office/​lobby with free Internet, and the night manager allowed me to bring my own laptop up and plug into the ethernet, thus getting on Skype and the web for a few minutes each night.
All in all, if you are looking for a budget hotel with good access to the best of Paris, then this is a great option.

This hotel is a solid bet for Paris. It’s close to the Metro, near many markets and grocery stores, has great prices, and a fantastic location near the Eiffel Tower. The rooms are a bit cramped, and the hotel in general is very small. Some rooms have views of the Eiffel Tower, but most face a quiet, inner courtyard. Don’t expect luxury here; there’s just clean rooms with an excellent location.
Cet hôtel est parfait pour ceux qui né veulent qu’une chambre tranquille et un lieu fantastique près de la Tour Eiffel à Paris. L’hôtel en générale est petit, mais les tarifs pour Paris né sont pas très chers et le personnel est sympa. De plus, l’hôtel se trouve près de quelques marchés et le Métro n’est pas très loin. Un bon choix pour ceux que né passeront pas beaucoup de temps dans la chambre.
