Hôtel Royal Phare

It is a great location with quick access to subway line M8 and a short walk to Tour Eiffel. The hotel was perfect for a 3-night stay: clean and quiet. There are plenty of restaurants in the area; some are on Google maps, and some are not.

I am going to preface this by saying the overall hotel stay was great, especially considering we spent very little time in our actual hotel. That being said, please please note that there is absolute truth in the reviews that state the hotel rooms are very small, especially compared to what most Americans are used to in the States. However, my stay was about convenience, safety, and simply having a clean place to rest. I spent very little time in the actual hotel room. The staff were very kind and helpful. The evening we arrived, the desk attendant was kind enough to give me a map of the entire city, and explained how to get to all the most desirable sights to see. He made restaurant recommendations and provided lots of advice from a local’s perspective. The elevator is tiny. We could only go up one at a time with our bags. Keep that in mind. Still, it did not take away from the overall experience. It was very helpful that a metro station is literally right outside the door. We could easily walk to the Eiffel Tower, and there were tons of restaurants nearby, plus a convenience store. I felt safe the whole time I was there, never concerned about anything. No, this is not the ritz, but it served its purpose well and met my needs.

Our time at the Hotel Royal Phare was amazing. We were greeted at the front door with a friendly staff that spoke perfect English. All the staff was friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower! Steps aware from a metro station, easy walk to Eiffel Tower and museums. Many lovely restaurants in the area. Bed was comfortable.
