Hotel Montparnasse Saint Germain

Room was OK, breakfast good. Mainly chosen for location in Montparnasse very close to the Gare SNCF (as I was travelling on to La Rochelle the next day). Dozens of bars and restaurants of every kind, also cinema and theatre nearby. Very busy. This would be a good area to stay, cheaper than central Paris which is extortionate (although not cheap). With a pubic transport pass, this area would be as good as any place to stay for several days seeing the sights of Paris. By the way, the SNCF app works like a dream, I booked 2 rail journeys from England, Paris-La Rochelle and La Rochelle-Nantes, both e-tickets worked on my iPhone really easily. I included a senior rail pass, E49 for a year, 30% discount, which I almost saved enough to pay off on this week's rail travel. On the morning I left, I walked to the nearby Montparnasse Cemetery, 37 acres, and if you are interested in humanity, it's worth a walkabout. Got chatting to an older French man who told me a story of two.

Stark black and white decor, and a dull view of drainpipes and rooftops out of the only window, but this is of little consequence. Food forbidden in room, which is fairly standard for this sort of hotel, there were plenty of places nearby to eat but I do like a snack. I suppose they want you to not bring spicy, greasy takeaways and I could have eaten a piece of fruit or a chocolate bar with great care (I didn't). No coffee machine or kettle in the room, something which is standard in English B&B's, there was a coffee machine downstairs.

When we arrived we hadn’t realised the hotel was on a main road, but I must say we couldn’t hear a thing from our rooms. They were facing the back, and it was as quiet as can be. I slept like a baby, the bed was super comfy. Shower wasn’t the biggest but it was practical, pressure was good and water was hot! Room is simply decorated but everything you could possibly need. Location is fantastic, in the middle of Paris, surrounded by restaurants and shops. Two seconds away from the metro.

The price of the breakfast is too high. 16 euros when you are surrounded by bakeries is a bit much. it could have been amazing, we didn’t go for it as the price put us off.

The staff onsite were absolutely lovely. Very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was very clean and room advertised was very consistent with the room 'in real life'. It was a very convenient, safe and well-cared for property.

Truly our only complaint would be the pillows. The beds were quite firm and that was okay, but the pillows were like sandbags. Something I would flag for anyone traveling with any sort of physical disability or limitation would be to contact the property before reserving to discuss any accommodations as the elevator is very small as are the hallways and there are stairs (1-2) to some of the rooms. We stayed on the top floor and the elevator did not go to that floor so it would be important to get an accessible room when booking if needed.

The room was clean and comfortable, boasting a very convenient location right next to the metro, making it easy to navigate the city. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, enhancing our overall experience.

The breakfast left much to be desired, lacking in variety. The corridor outside our room was quite noisy, which could be disturbing for some guests. However, it's worth noting that this noise did not persist into the night, allowing for an undisturbed sleep. The curtains provided enough darkness, also, I couldn't hear the noise from outside.

Hotel is in a great location for shops, cafes and restaurants as well as the main station at Montparnasse. Although located on the main road, is very quiet inside and tranquil. The staff on reception are always super friendly and welcoming. Good decor and good size rooms with opening windows

It is worth noting as with most hotels in Paris the lift is small, for those of you who struggle with such things. There is coffee from a coffee machine to buy in reception downstairs, though no tea making facilities in the room which is a very small thing, though worth being aware of

The hotel is very nice, clean and safe. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is great, near train, metro, restaurants, grocery store, shops. Can walk to many sites or reach them quickly via metro. The train station is also close to travel outside of Paris. The rooms are a little small, but very confortable (not a bad size for Paris though). Would definitely come back there and I recommend it to solo or family. There is an elevator, the rooms are quiet.

I would have like a bathroom a little bigger. My kids had a great size rooms, so next time I will make sure to ask for the bigger one

All the facilities were excellent and as-advertised (adjustable AC, spacious and terrific bathroom, TV, etc)! The convenience (right across from Gare du Montparnasse with tons of restaurants, cafes, sites and a market) was outstanding!!! Most of all the little touches were what made the hotel extraordinary: lots of different lights and lighting choices, plug and reading lights near bed, printed information about the hotel and area, a hair dryer, a comfortable desk, well-designed. I would definitely stay here again!

The only concern is that the wifi is not secure (no password was needed, it's an open network).

The mattress was comfortable, room and bathroom decor was just enough and up to date. Plenty of light, nice windows and my double room size was great, no street noise at all. The hotel is well located if you want to stay in that area. Lots of places to eat around. Friendly staff :)

Room temperature was good, however the duvet was too hot, not a choice of having it lighter or just the sheets. Air con was central, so could not make the room any cooler apart from opening the window, making it uncomfortable in that sense. The pillows were not comfy. For the room price I’d expect a more elaborate breakfast, but it was overall sufficient.

Staff was very helpful when we checked in, good restaurant recommendations (Bouillon Charter for cheap, rustic French cooking and is VERY popular, 60 people in line when we came out at 7:30 after eating at 6:15). Overall very clean. BF was enjoyable. Loved the baguettes, cheese selection, coffee/cappachino machine and even could make a soft cooked egg. Very quiet. Finally the Montparnasse Metro was within 50 meters. If you are in Paris for at least 4 days, get the Navigo Pass. It is good for all Metro and the larger RER trains (from airport). We used it ALL the time and connected everywhere quite quickly. .

The location of the hotel is quite good. It's around 30-35 minutes by foot from some major attractions. Also the hotel and the room was clean and cozy.

The walls are super thin. You basically feel as if someone was inside your room when people are just walking in the other rooms. Also, you must have a physical card to pay for the room. I wasn't able to use virtual cards for the payment (that's super weird and no one notified us about this, hopefully I got another card on me)
