Le Roi de Sicile

The balcony on the 5th floor was fantastic, and the rooms were excellent. We were in Paris to visit my son at Sorbonne University. The staff were very helpful, and the location was great, close to the metro and lots of fun places to eat and shop. I highly recommend it!

We stayed in one of their apartments around the corner. The receptionist escorted us there and made us feel very welcome. The apartment was great, and it was cleaned and restocked every day. The sofa bed was big enough to make sharing easier for our kids. It’s a lovely place in a cool part of town, with interesting shops and the metro close by. We’d certainly stay there again.

Booking.com listed a 45-square-meter suite, but the space I stayed in at Hotel Roi de Sicile Rivoli Paris was only 30 square meters. The gap between the bed and toilet door was about 25 centimeters, and neither the bathroom nor the toilet had ventilation. I was there January 20-26 and paid €3300 through Booking.com. The listing photos and details were completely misleading, and the price felt like a rip-off for what I got.

Room 403 was quiet and had a kitchenette, with a nice amount of space for a small apartment. The bathroom setup was awkward, though: it had a bathtub instead of a shower, which was very impractical.
