Great location especially for a solo travelling female. Rooms are what you'd expect in terms of size for Paris. Clean hotel right next to a Metro station & Eiffel Tower. Breakfast isn't very good value though so the only recommendation i have is go elsewhere for breakfast.

We have stayed in Paris many time, usually in the Rue Cler area but we booked late and the hotel we usually use was full. We chose the Royal Phare because Rick Steves recommends it and because its location is the best for a stay in Paris. Rick recommends it as one of the least expensive hotels in the best... More

Apparently "phare" is French for "dump." The threadbare carpeting hasn't been changed since the German occupation. The locale is nice, but dozens of other hotels in the vicinity make this a place of last resort. A better option is to find a clean, modern hotel a little farther out. Ten minutes on the Metro puts you on the doorstep of... More

My husband and I stayed at the Royal Phare for just one evening in March, 2012. We stayed at a Marriott for 4 days but wanted to be close to the Metro for an early morning flight home so I booked 1 night here. We stayed here 3 years ago and agree the location was excellent. Rick Steeves lists this... More

Hotel Royal Phare on Ave. de la Motte Picquet: 1. Good location with Metro Stop in front of it and near Eiffel Tower 2. Awfully old room 3. Awfully moldy bathroom with black mold in the grout ( and they charge extra for a bath too) 4. Paper-thin walls so I could hear the American lady in the next room... More

I would give an excellant rating but refrained only because there may be a better one available out there in the price range. But I have no complaints. For the price we paid and the room we got (partial view of the Eiffel tower), the generous continental breakfast that was served for about 10 Euros and a great location, I... More

We couldn't have been happier with our stay first time in Paris. The location was perfect! The Metro is right outside the door, Eiffel Tower is right around the corner, there's a grocery store next door, & cafes all around. The hotel itself is basic, but very nice! Staff was extremely friendly and rooms were comfortable. We would stay there... More

Great location, 50 steps from the metro, cashline, supermarket, 10m walking to Eiffel Tower. Very tiny room. You cannot swing a cockrouch in the rooms, very tiny shower so tiny that if you are medium build or above the showerbox must be kept open or you need to step outside :) The lift is the tinyest I ever ever seen...
