Best Western Hotel Le Montparnasse

We had a last minute deal for a very fair price. The hotel's location was fantastic, and the room was tidy, functional and good. However, the room (#17 on the first floor) vibrated every time the metro passed underground. This was really irritating, and when I requested the reception for a change of room, they had mentioned that all rooms have the same problem. That's a complete bummer, but other than that there's nothing to complain. less

arrived room ready. clean and tidy. staff excellent with knowledge and very helpful. perfectly situated for paris sight seeing. recommend the metro to get about. air conditioning worked perfectly was grateful was very hot. would recommend less

It is what it is an inexpensive hotel. A little old and tired but ok. It is a very small hotel, like very small barely two people with one suitcase each fit in the elevator. I didn't like that when the offered to store my luggage before and after check out that it was not in a secured location less

If you are going to travel by train from the Gare Montparnasse, the 3-star Best Western Hotel le Montparnasse in the 6th arrondissement, is a very convenient place to stay. Location is perfect. Within a two-block radius, you have the train station, metro stops, a covered shopping mall anchored by one of the two most well-known department stores in Paris, the shopping street Rue de Rennes, pharmacies, banks, post office, etc. There is a mini-mart just steps away and a larger market across the street that stays open late. The neighborhood is vibrant with many cafés and restaurants, some of which were made famous by artists of the 20th century. Also, you can take Le Bus Direct, #4 (the former Air France Shuttle) from CDG airport to the train station for about half of a taxi fare. If you don't want to walk the two blocks to the train station, the hotel can also arrange a shuttle back to the airport with pick up at the hotel. The cost for two people is 36 euros (compared to 60+ for a taxi). If you understand that personal space is defined differently in Europe, then you would be fine in this hotel. The hallways are narrow. The rooms are tiny but have everything: air conditioning, comfortable beds, a safe, and a small closet with about ten hangers. The bathroom is small but modern. Despite its size, it has a spacious shower area with both a rain and a hand-held shower head, and space for your toiletries, The staff is very courteous and accommodating. I speak fluent French but not my husband. They spoke English with him and were just as nice and helpful to him. They provided us with extra pillows, and even stored a big bag for us while we traveled to the southwest for 10 days. We've always asked for a room in the back side of the building. Amazingly enough, even with the window open, there is no traffic noise. It faces a courtyard with lots of greenery. You do hear the muffled sound of the metro, but that is the case nearly anywhere in Paris if you want to have the convenience of being near a metro stop. I have stayed in this hotel several times and will do so again. If you are taking trains from Montparnasse (or even if you are not), the location, as well as the very nice and accommodating personnel, can't be beat. less

Shocked to find a Best Western hotel in Europe with such a lack of quality. First of all we are a family of 5 and were supposed to stay in adjacent rooms sadly there were no such rooms in this hotel, besides the rooms were really small even for Paris kind of Hotels. The other major issue was that the weather was kind of hot during our stay but the A/C didn't work, it was only for heating so we had to sleep with the window open with the constant noise of the Montparnasse traffic including constant police and ambulance sirens (very often by the way). Cleaning service was really bad by the way, some days I found no towels in the room. Never again less
