Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Port Royal Hotel is conveniently located right next to a Metro station, providing easy access to main attractions like the Catacombs, Pantheon, and Natural History Museum, all within walking distance. Guests often appreciate the decently sized and clean rooms, some even remarking on the pleasant views and windows that fully open, creating a balcony feel. The surrounding area in the Latin Quarter is considered lovely, with Place D'Italie offering many shops and restaurants; some guests, however, have noted that certain rooms have shared toilet and shower facilities.

adequate stay, but with drawbacks

convenient locationmildew smellshower tokens
the location was convenient, near public transportation.
The room smelled strongly of mildew. It was quite unpleasant. also, i had to pay extra for shower tokens. This felt nickel-and-diming. the lack of a tv was also a nuisance.

good location and friendly staff

friendly staffgood locationmetro line
the staff was very friendly. the hotel is in a very good location, close to a metro line. this line takes you to the city center. it takes about 20 minutes.
the largest drawback was the lack of a private shower and toilet. it felt more like a hostel.
