Best Western Hotel Le Montparnasse

Hotel Le Montparnasse. Due to the unbearable noise inside the room which was caused, I suppose, by the building internal systems, probably ventilation or something of the kind, every 10 to 15 minutes producing loud and distinctive sounds as if someone was drilling the wall, and, here I’m 100% sure, the noise made by the guests of the restaurant just below our window, but what is remarkable the mechanical noise and loud shouts stopped the same time, around 2 am… After that everything went quiet. And when I complained about that mechanical noise to the receptionist, he replied that I should get accustomed to the city noise and that the building climatic system might be the cause of my sleepless night. Though Room 34 is rather tiny (it can barely host two single beds and the bathroom is arranged inside a closet, I should say) I cannot but positively say that thanks to the room service people the room was clean, neat and pleasant to stay in. It had tea-making facilities (a kettle) and a small fridge, and a safe inside the wall hanging cabinet. One thing is also worth mentioning: a so small lift that it can service two slim-fit people or one body-positive guest like me. Definitely I would not recommend this hotel to travelers sensitive to street noise or any kind of noise, or if you cannot avoid staying at this hotel, ask them to provide you a room on the top and facing the rear but if the internal building system is out of order it will not save you at all. Just try to avoid this particular hotel. I stayed in some BW hotels in Paris and other countries and they were also small and facing the streets but everything was ok. It seems I was not lucky this time with this BW hotel. And if it were possible I would definitely claim my money back. less

Great price for a decent hotel for the location. Small rooms and internet speed needs to be better. It is not the usual Best Western as it is a 3 star category but in this category it is value for money and clean. less

What a warm and welcoming Hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much for them. It was clean and well furnished. The location was superb. When in Paris stay at The Best Western Le Montparnasse. less

We stayed her for 3 nights for our first time In Paris. Clean and tidy rooms, a bit on the small side but just what you need when you’re out exploring all day and only returning to sleep and shower. The beautiful windows opened up to look out onto the street. We woke early one morning and opened the windows and curtains to watch the sun come up. Was lovely. 200metres one way and 400metres another to the metro made it so easy to get around. If you are only just arriving and don’t have a metro card or tickets the best station to go to would be the Duroc station 400 Metres away on the same side of the street as the hotel. The one 200metres on the same side doesn’t have ticket access only to top up a metro card. There is an attendant and machines there to purchase tickets. On your way to the station you will find an array of cafes and bakeries with the freshest croissants and pastries. The Montparnasse observation tower is also only a few hundred metres away and worth a trip to the top to watch the sunset over Paris and the Eiffel Tower light up. Didn’t try the breakfast at this hotel as there were so many places to eat nearby. Room was cleaned and serviced everyday. Would recommend this place to friends and family if visiting the area. less

The greatest thing this hotel has going for it is the location, a short walk from Gare Montparnasse with tons of public transport options. There are many many varied restaurants and cafes on the same block and same side of the street as this hotel. For Paris (notorious for minuscule hotel rooms), this hotel offers a reasonably-sized room, mini-fridge, desk with chair, and adequate hanging space for clothing. No drawers or shelves for storage. Cons: some staff are rude (Tatiana the maid lectured me with a wagging finger that I was NOT entitled to any extra towels, what nerve), the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired (just go down to a corner cafe and eat), the elevator is TINY. Be sure to request a room on the quiet back courtyard which is filled with greenery and trees which ensure privacy and serenity. Front desk man Andrew is an absolute gem, so customer-service oriented and helped me several times during my 4-night stay. I would stay at this hotel again. less
