Sent by : Claire Pulford on 5/18/2005
Good location for shopping at the large department stores (and very close to Moulin Rouge). Very clean, you could smell the freshly washed sheets when lying in bed. The breakfast was delicious with fresh brioche and croissants. Good value too and would definitely stay there again if visiting Paris for another shopping trip.

I stayed at your hotel with two friends in early March. The rooms were good size, comfortable beds, extremely clean and well decorated. The staff were very helpful and it was a pleasure to stay with you. Hope to see you again later in the year.

My friend and I have just returned from Paris and we stayed at the Royal Fromentin for a week. It is a charming,Parisian hotel, very clean the staff was most friendly and helpful. The area is interesting and very lively, area the hotel is just a few steps from the Metro which is great for women travelling alone. It is 1 block from Montmartre . We would certainly go back to this hotel and recommend highly.

The hotel is a place of style in the already warm ‘Montmartre’ environment. Very nice and comfortable rooms, friendly staff,warm environment and a good ‘crackly’ breakfast. This was the ideal place to start our Parisian’s explorations in the morning and a ‘welcome home’ after a long day. If you want to relive the old and romantic Paris of the 1930’s, this is the place to be ! Thank you for a lovely weekend and all the best wishes for the future.

We booked 2 double rooms at Hotel Royal Fromentin for 3 nights over the Valentines weekend. The hotel was an excellent choice. We thought them to be of great value for money, the rooms were clean and very comfortable. The pictures illustrated in the website were exactly what we found. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was ideal. The hotel is in close proximity to some very good value for money restaurants, friendly bars and the Metro station. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our break and would have no hesitation in recommending this service and the hotel to others. We also recommend taking advantage of the shuttle service from and to the hotel.

The hotel was almost perfect and was reasonably priced. The staff proposed a restaurant for dinner which was superb value and atmosphere (les bistro deux theatre?). We would use the hotel again. We have never seen Paris looking better.

We stayed at the Royal Fromentin during Christmas break. Family of four stayed on the fifth floor. Had a breathtaking view of Sacre Coeur. Very close to the Metro and great pastry shop down the street. The elevetor was the most interesting and unique I have ever experienced. The room was much larger than expected and the full bath was spacious by any standard with plenty of hot water. The staff was both friendly and accommodating. We will stay there again.

Relative to the many hotels we stayed at across Europ this place would have to one of the better 3 stars. The rooms were reasonable size and the one we stayed in (a double) was off the street. As the main street is reasonably busy. The location near Montmarte is brilliant, its also got surrounded by a head of trendy bars and cafes and interestign shops. On the weekend there is a great street market and you are also a stone's throw from Sacre Coeur and Moulin Rouge. My girlfiorend and I felt safe walking around at night as its such a busy, vibrant area.

Ja i mόj mąż do dziś wspominamy wspaniały pobyt w hotelu Royal Fromentin. Hotel jest usytuowany w samym sercu Paryża, z jego okien można podziwiać widok bazyliki Sacré-Coeur. Pokoje przestrzenne i czyste. Personel przyjemny i zawszy chętny do pomocy. Miałam wrażenie przeniesienia sie w czasie dzięki oryginalnym dekoracjom hotelu z lat 30-tych. Jak tylko będzie możliwość ponownego pobytu w Paryżu, na pewno wybierzemy hotel Royal Fromentin.

Wir waren vor ein paar Tagen zum ersten Mal in Paris und hatten uns nach einer langen Suche im Internet für dieses Hotel entschieden, da wir die dort abgebildeten Fotos sehr schön fanden.Als wir dann ankamen, haben wir tatsächlich das vorgefunden,was wir uns vorgestellt hatten. Unser Zimmer lag ziemlich weit oben,war sehr sauber geräumig und zur Krönung hatten wir einen wunderbaren Blick in Richtung Sacré Coeur,besonders am Abend sehr romantisch mit einem guten Glas Wein.Das Hotel war einst ein Kabarett,das viele bekannte Künstler wie Toulouse Lautrec und Van Gogh anzog.Der originelle Salon mit dem wunderschönen Kamin und der holzgetäfelten Decke zeugt noch davon.Wir hatten eine sehr angenehme Unterhaltung mit einem Rezeptionisten,der uns etwas mit den historischen Fakten des Hotels und des Viertels vertraut machte und uns dann noch ein Glas Absinth servierte.Wir erfuhren,dass dieses Getränk Ende des 19.Jahrhunderts von den berühmten Künstlern sehr geschätzt wurde und heute in abgewandelter Form wieder auflebt.Wir hatten das Vergnügen,den Absinth entsprechend der Tradition zu geniessen, verbrachten einen wunderbaren Abend und werden uns noch sehr lange an unseren Aufenthalt in diesem eizigartigen Hotel erinnern. Ein wirklicher Geheimtip für jeden, der auf der Suche nach einer stilvollen und authentischen Unterkunft ist.

I thought it was close to perfect.My girlfriend, Amber, who is from the Netherlands , made the reservations from Holland . With a two day package including transportation on the Thalys bullet train From Central Station to Paris . Our room was large, very clean, adequate tv, great service, and best of all, a fantastic view of the Sacre Couer, you could almost touch it. The location was ideal, centrally located, short walk to the metro, lots of diversity, just like here in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you're looking the stereotypical Paris neighbourhood described in many guidebooks, The Royal fromentin is for you. But if you're looking for a hotel located in a central area, with great things to do and easy access to all of Paris, and a great staff, then the Royal Fromentin is excellent. My first time, not her's, and a great time to go. Stay at the Royal Fromentin, great little hotel. Michael & Amber

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à l'hotel. En plus du décor et du quartier très animé, nous avons pu gouter un verre d'absinthe comme l'aurait fait Toulouse Lautrec avec tout le rituel de la fontaine à eau, de la cuiller percée etc... Inoubliable.

I booked this hotel for my daughter to stay over her 21st birthday so I was a little worried that it would be less than good. As it turned out all my fears were unfounded. She stayed for 3 nights in a double room at the top of the building which afforded quite good views of the city. The room was clean, tidy and in good decorative order. The staff, on the shifts covered by her stay, were friendly and helpful. My daughter was very pleased with standard of accommodation and said that she would not hesitate to recommend and stay there again upon a return visit.

Wir hatten uns sehr auf unsere erste Reise nach Paris gefreut und waren nach unserer recht langen Zugfahrt dann doch sehr positif überrascht. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber und das Frühstück typisch französisch und lecker. Das Hotel ist sehr aussergewöhnlich und geschmackvoll dekoriert( viel Holz,sehr warme Farbtöne,ein traumhafter alter Aufzug aus geschmiedenem Eisen) und an der Rezeption erklärte man uns, dass alles noch original aus der Zeit stammte, als das Hotel ein Kabarett war. Wir kamen ohne Probleme mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln überall hin und verbrachten sehr schöne Tage in Paris.

We spent 2 nights in Paris at the Hôtel Royal Fromentin : it was terrific! We had a room on the 5th floor at the back of the hotel with a surprisingly romantic view of the rooftops of Paris ! The room was very clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable ... exactly than what we expected having looked at the website. We thought the staff was truly friendly and very helpful. But the highlight of our stay was discovering Absinthe in the hotel bar. We had read about this drink which was the favourite drink of Parisian artists at the end of the 19th century, but knew it had been outlawed at the time because it was so strong. Apparently now a harmless form of absinthe has reappeared in France and they serve it now at the hotel just the way it was served at the end of the 19th century. It was a true ritual with special water fountains equipped with tiny taps that release the ice water drop by drop into a glass upon which is placed a slotted spoon with a piece of sugar. What an unforgettable experience! The hotel is even in the process of publishing a book on the subject of absinthe in the area around the hotel and about the Don Juan Cabaret which is now a part of the hotel lobby. Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec and Baudelaire who lived in the neighbourhood and were drinkers of absinthe may well have drunk their absinthe in the very bar where we drank ours! Don't miss that experience when you stay at the Royal Fromentin!

I took my girlfriend for a couple of days in Paris and we found this hotel through the website. It had plenty of positive feedback and the price was reasonable. When we arrived at the hotel we found the hotel staff to be friendly and very helpful. We found our room to be compact but well laid out, clean and comfortable. The lift looks to be original to the building and is a real novelty (but still perfectly functional). The hotel is situated in a "colourful" area of Paris, metro stations are 2 minutes walk from the hotel and there are loads of places to eat in the locality. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone who was looking for a nice hotel near the centre of paris for an economical price.
