Hotels near Port-Royal, Paris

I have tried to base my review on the factors which the hotel (hostel) does have control of and ignore the views of other guests. The staff we encountered were all friendly and helpful speaking fluent English. We got some free towels (normally chargeable) and a room to store our luggage on our last day. The public areas are clean and tidy with a classy uniform wallpaper design throughout. We didn’t take any food instead opting to use the nearby Lidl for croissants and baggets although I think it was an option. The rooms were small with a sink, blackout blind, opening window, functional bed and an uncontrollable vent. There were four showers and three toilets per floor for communal use. The flat roof outside the window was strewn with rubbish (condom packet one of the more unpleasant), the bed was comfortable without being anything more there was no mattress protector (so I can understand the basis for other reviews) and the vent was continuously noisy - good job we were tired! The showers were clean and powerful if not a little too hot, the toilets however were often reduced to one as they were blocked and unsanitary. The area outside is the bottom end of pooville (I can’t use other language) arriving my heart sank although I was aware the outskirts of Paris are often questionable for tourists, it isn’t an area I’d want to be alone in at night. The reason for us booking here was the availability of a car park. The parking is two basement levels immediately below the hostel (not clear on booking) accessible by foot through a number of (broken) QR code security doors with nobody answering the intercom. The car exit had a metal gate and the entry a barrier so overall I guess very secure! but it is disgusting which doesn’t give you a feeling of security. Leaking pipes and a stench of urine in the stairwell complemented with walls covered in I don’t want to know what! It’s not luxury, it’s functional. You are in an (expensive) capital city and you pretty much get what you pay for, you’ve got to adjust your expectations. It was a good base for our two day trip in the city via a twenty minute metro ride.

This hotel was great. The staff were super helpful and friendly. I asked lots of questions and they were more than happy to help. I felt welcomed and safe. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I will definitely use them again. Value for money and clean rooms. Very high standard and brilliant staff thank you.

Very basic equipment (3 beds, 3 bedside tables, 1 chair, 1 TV - hung under the ceiling (French TV channels), 1 built-in wardrobe with broken veneer) in a very small room. Bathroom no more than 1.5 square meters: plastic sink from the 1990s with stains, drain defective, shower suspension defective, toilet seat for 5 EUR), joints yellowed. The free toiletries were soap and shampoo. Everything so far clean, but extremely simple. Beds shorter than 2m. Underground garage very narrow (26 EUR per day was fine). Breakfast room without ventilation (corona concept?). Baguette was counted, only added on request. Location good, much was accessible by foot or bus / metro. Overall, clearly too expensive.

El hotel queda en la parte sur de París, no tan cerca de la parte turística de la ciudad, pero está cerca de una estación de metro. Inicialmente, estábamos super preocupados por los comentarios de chinches en los cuartos, pero afortunadamente no paso nada de eso, pero se que a unos amigos que iban con nosotros, si tuvieron problemas con los chinches, parece que es algo de suerte. Los cuartos son algo pequeños: una cama, una barra para colgar chaquetas y una pequeña mesa con una silla y lucen algo antiguas las habitaciones. El agua caliente funciona bien. La calefacción no la usamos ya que no hacía tanto frío. Al baño le falta algo de limpieza, tenia mucho moho. El desayuno es buffet y es bastante bueno con diferentes opciones. El servicio del personal también fue muy bueno. Fueron muy amables. Solo un detalle para que tengan cuidado. Un día salimos todo el día y cuando regresamos, la puerta estaba entreabierta. Al parecer, la persona de la limpieza al salir, no cerró bien la puerta. Afortunadamente no se nos perdió nada, pero la verdad nos asustamos mucho.

The rooms were small but clean. There were small cubes where to save your stuff but not even a carry on would fit there. The private bathrooms were ok but there were no towels to even dry my hands on or to step out the shower afterwards, so everything was a bit wet. Sometimes I could not get it into the common bathrooms for some reason and I know I was not the only one (problems with hostel card) We asked whether they could add us all to the same 4-bed room since we were 3. They said they could and afterwards they did not 'by mistake' so this was a bit disappointing. The place in general was awesome, it was very nice, clean, friendly staff. They also have lockers where to store your luggage if needed. Breakfast was a bit expensive but totally worth it. Location was convenient since there is a metro station just around the corner, so it was pretty easy to move around such a big city. I would probably go again.

Good hotel. Solid experience. Feels like a 4 star hotel. Kind and accommodating staff. Giving me extra soft tissues as I had a cold during my stay. Nice little french balcony. Good location near metro and lots of restaurants and bars. Close to notre dame, and jardin luxembourg. Walkable pretty neighborhood(Paris 5eme) right by Sorbonne University. Would come back, hopefully without a cold next time. Only drawback, bar is seldom serviced and the selection is limited.

Clean quaint little rooms. Friendly staff. Good location! Within walking distance to lots and the train station is across the street so easy access to everything. But- No face cloths and no toiletries. 1 plug in in the room (bring an adapter if you’re Canadian or American). Rooms were pretty small (2twin beds) and no where to put anything. Tub with hand held shower. The room our daughters were in smelled bad and the shower flooded the bathroom so they had to use ours. Breakfast wasn’t great and is overpriced. Beds a bit uncomfortable but pillows were good.

The hotel is good, but the room is quite small, the rooms with balconies are on the first floor, and the street view is not seen by the wall. The toilet is quite open, and the door on the left side of the bed leads to the toilet. There is a room under the TV to put things, it is a table and chair. I don't know if it is a common problem in Paris hotels, the floor is not soundproof. The hotel is also very old to open the door with a key. The front desk is good and will be a little English. There is a subway bus not far from here, and it is very convenient to travel. But I think the price cp value is not high.

The Hotel Pierre Nicole is an ideal spot for travelers wanting to discover the city. The Hotel Pierre Nicole offers a pleasant stay in Paris for those traveling for business or leisure.With Port-Royal just 300m away and Paris Orly Airport only 15km away, transportation is very convenient. In addition, Raspail Metro Station is just a short walk away. The nearby area boasts an abundance of attractions including Montparnasse Tower, Luxembourg Gardens and Saint Chapel.After a long day of sightseeing, guests can retire to the comfort of the hotel.

The averages Trip advisor reports for Location, Cleanliness, Service, and Value are about right, as is the 7.8 on booking com. The room I was given (on the first floor) was well appointed (separate toilet and shower, good bed, small but workable writing desk, large safe, etc.) The tv had only French-language channels with the exception of channel 100 which features BBC programming. The view was nothing to write about which was fine with me. The wifi was stable throughout. It stopped working on the morning of the second day for reasons I then did not understood. When I called the frontdesk I was told that it worked for them and that I just should wait it out. What? Turns out the problem is that you have to sign in every day anew. I figured it finally out. Alas, one would hope that the front-desk knows this problem which I am sure other guests have also encountered. Overall, the service is ok though. The brekkie was .. modest. The coffee was of variable quality, the scrambled eggs were ... pitiful, ... and there was not much selection. I guess, you get what you pay for (12 Euros). You can work there though since he wifi is stable there, too. The location of the hotel is very good; the place is a 10 - 15 Euro taxi ride away from Gare de Lyon and the Bercy bus station. Importantly, within 100 meter radius there is about half a dozen (mostly) Vietnamese eating places which are all quite good (e.g., the friendly and inexpensive banh place to the left of the hotel and the outstanding and very inexpensive Chinese ”crazy noodles” place to the right. Try both.) There is another hotel not far away that I prefer and typically stay in which is better along all dimensions (ask me), and offers better value, but the Paris-Italie is a creditable fall-back option.
