Best Western Hotel Le Montparnasse

If you’re like us and you travel to explore and don’t expect to spend lots of time in your room, this is a wonderful choice. Yes, the room is small but it’s very modern, nicely decorated with a beautiful floor to ceiling g window which opens on to the tree lined boulevard, the bed was really comfortable, it was spotless and the bathroom was completely updated with modern features. The location is fantastic located between 2 metro stops and there are more cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and boutiques to count... right outside your door. It’s centrally located to everywhere and we happily strolled miles everyday. The staff all speak English and they were so helpful and friendly, especially Elsa. There was an iPod player and an Nespresso machine which is restocked every morning. I just loved this hotel. less

I stayed here for 3 night with my daughter for a weekend visit. Great location. Rooms are coxmpact but clean and comfortable as a base to sleep. Close to an array of cafes and restaurant and Metro station less

We stayed at this hotel for four nights, and our original plan was simply to use it as a bed and nothing more. I'm glad we did come in with this mindset, because this hotel is very basic. The rooms are extremely small, with any movement very restricted.There are no particular amenities in the room aside from a small fridge, and the bathroom is literally a wardrobe. I have read reviews about difficulty getting into the bathroom and, while neither myself or my wife had these issues, I can see that the narrow opening could be a problem for those slightly larger. The A/C also wasn't working in our room, which wasn't nice considering the temperatures. Outside of the actual room, the lift is a fairly dodgy contraption and not always trustworthy. I would have used the stairs if we weren't on the top floor. The breakfast room is quite small, so you either need to pick your time carefully or enjoy being crammed in with other guests. I would advise you to pre-book the breakfast if you do want to go for it as it is likely to be cheaper, rather than the twelve Euros you pay in the hotel. However, the breakfast is very basic even by Parisian standards, and I would recommend going out into Montparnasse and sampling one of the many nearby cafes instead. Finally, the customer service is poor in this hotel. While some of the staff were informative and they do seem to have a good array of language skills, the few times we required help from them it was not particularly forthcoming. Luckily we didn't have many big problems but I think it would have been difficult to get resolutions if we had. less

We stayed at this hotel for ten nights. It is in a great location, close to metros, buses, trains, and restaurants. The room is standard for a hotel room in Paris, but the difference was the price. We paid the multi-night rate and ended up saving over $600 from the other hotel we originally booked.The front desk is staffed 24/7 with friendly and helpful customer service reps.We did not eat the breakfast, as we wanted to enjoy the local restaurants. Highly recommend A La Duchess Anne for breakfast, lunch, & snacking!The bed was very comfortable and had separate reading lights which was nice. The bathroom is small, but again, you are in Paris. It does have the old fashioned hair dryer attached to the wall like you see in older hotels. We had plenty of room for our toiletries. But I also recommend bringing a hanging toiletry holder.Recommend a room on an upper floor facing the courtyard. You are near a metro and a train station, so be prepared for some vibrations from below. Again, this is normal in Paris.The room also had a mini refrigerator and a nespresso machine. Some hotels do not let you eat in your room, there is no problem with that here and they make it convenient to have food in your room. They also supply you with one bottle of water to start, a perrier water and a can of pringles. There was also cookies and marshmallows in the foyer.You can't beat the price for this hotel. less

On my second trip to Paris, we elected to stay at a less expensive hotel than the boutique hotel from my first visit. We chose the Best Western Le Montparnasse for our 2 week stay. Montparnasse is central to the popular tourist attractions and close to the main metro lines. We decided that all we needed was a bed and a bathroom because we planned on being out unless we were showering or sleeping. This hotel was perfect for that. The staff was very friendly, the bed was super comfortable, and the room was always clean when we returned for the evening. Honestly, who goes to Paris for the hotel room?! If you don't set unreasonable expectations for a room that Paris simply doesn't have at a reasonable price, then you will not be disappointed. There are several close cafes with different kinds of food and drink that allow a true local Parisian experience. There's a shopping mall a block away and many major retailers close by in this charming district of Paris. On our next visit to Paris, we will definitely be staying with these wonderful folks again! less
