A Reasonable Gem
We've stayed here several times. The staff is great and the room spotless. The beds are comfortable, especially the pillows. The bathroom does the job but it is small and you need to be careful with the shower as there is only a partial wall and no curtain on the remainder. After you get used to that it is fine. The best part is the hotel location. Restaurants at the entrance, 150 feet from the metro and just a great, safe neighborhood.

The hotel is in a nice area with many dining options nearby. Although the hotel is not very clean, the faucet in our room was leaking water all over the ground. We informed the staff member who said it could be fixed the next morning but no one ever came to fix it. We had to wash our hands and brush our teeth using the the shower. Also beware that the elevator is tiny and if you are someone who gets claustrophobic I do not recommend staying here.

The room was very spacious especially compared to a typical European hotel and comfortably slept my family of 3. It’s located right next to the Vavin station on Metro 4 and is a short walk to a major transit hub with access to anywhere you would want to go. Also right outside the door are multiple wonderful restaurants. Would gladly stay here again when we come to Paris.

24 hour concierge was friendly and courteous. Having mini fridge in room was a plus. They have tried to upgrade with wall decor and bathroom tile. Rooms are tiny even by Paris standards and flooring in bedroom should be next thing to be replaced. Safe neighborhood with metro very convenient. Wry clean.

A gem
The room was small but very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and professional. My wife and I have visited Paris over 50 times. I'd have to say this was probably the best location. Wall to wall restaurants starting 50 feet away. President Macron's favorite restaurant was less than 200 feet away. The metro was very close as well. The area felt safe. We'll go back in October.

Arriving at night alone in a city is sometimes daunting but I was greeted at the hotel but a very helpful and professional night receptionist who was reassuring about directions and gave some helpful tips about transport and the area. The room is small, but bright, clean and comfortable, so everything you need for a short stay. Montparnasse area can be a little noisy at times but it is a really convenient location with many good restaurants on your doorstep and well placed for metro and RER to airport

The first night there was a fire alarm that went off in the early AM and did not shut off for about 10 minutes. Fire alarms are stationed in each shower so if you take a “steamy shower” it will trigger the alarm. There is a mini fridge but no hot water heater or access to fresh drinking water. We ended up purchasing bottles of water from a local store and storing them on the patio to keep chilled during our stay so we didn’t have to purchase everything in the mini fridge. The elevator is one person at a time with luggage which was not a big deal at all, just something to note. Next to some amazing restaurants and super close to amazing sights! Not the worst stay, it just started off with a blaring fire alarm that was not ideal for jet lag. Very kind staff!

My room had a strong stench of cigarette smoke. I have asthma, so this was very uncomfortable for me. When I asked to be changed to a different room, the other room they showed me was just as bad. In addition, the overall decor in the lobby and rooms was very dated, worn and basic. Not what I would expect for the rate I paid.

I appreciated the cleanliness and the efficiency of the hotel. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms updated. The staff was friendly and super helpful. The price was reasonable. The hotel is located on Metro Line 4, it put us within minutes of all our must-see cultural spots in Paris. There were many, many restaurants within steps of the hotel, but we especially enjoyed what we affectionally called "Crepe Alley" (a small street lined with multiple crepe restaurants). I would return to this property in the future. Thank you for your hospitality! :)

The hotel is located in a very convenient area with access to metro just 5 min away. There are many restaurants options and cafes. The hotel needs a renovation. It is old and tired looking. In our room, the faucet was broken and leaking, I advised the staff no one fixed it (for 5 days stay). Also a hot water cattle was available for the room it was broken. I asked multiple times for a new one, I never got one. I was brining hot water to the room from the dining area downstairs. I would not stay in this hotel again.
