Central Hotel Paris

“Great situation in Paris”

The room we had was very clean and compact. The width is a double bed with 2 bedside tables so probably not ideal if you are on the large side. Lovely crisp clean sheets. Good selection for breakfast €10. Staff very friendly and English is spoken. Montparnasse is a very lively place with lots o... more

The room we had was very clean and compact. The width is a double bed with 2 bedside tables so probably not ideal if you are on the large side. Lovely crisp clean sheets. Good selection for breakfast €10. Staff very friendly and English is spoken. Montparnasse is a very lively place with lots of bars and restaurants. I imagine that in the hot summer months it might be a bit noisy. We would definitely return.

“Great location, quiet, good value for money, efficient and courteous service”

I picked that hotel for location (bus lines, metro and Gare Montparnasse) but didn't expect how quaint and quiet it was going to be whilst having possibly the liveliest Montparnasse scene on its doorstep. I stayed there twice, which was unplanned but transport strikes can do that for you! The be... more

I picked that hotel for location (bus lines, metro and Gare Montparnasse) but didn't expect how quaint and quiet it was going to be whilst having possibly the liveliest Montparnasse scene on its doorstep. I stayed there twice, which was unplanned but transport strikes can do that for you! The best room I stayed in was in the upper floors but the other room was on the first floor and not renovated, but still comfortable and cosy. Staff are lovely and friendly and there's always someone there. Another Paris hotel I will keep in my books.

“Incredible Paris Price Hikes”

I have stayed in this hotel several times in the past 20 years because of its convenient location near the Gare Montparnasse. I joked that it should be called "l'Hôtel Sans Charme" because it's so basic. It always seemed a good value in the lively Edgar Quinet-Gaité neighborhood. On this visit th... more

I have stayed in this hotel several times in the past 20 years because of its convenient location near the Gare Montparnasse. I joked that it should be called "l'Hôtel Sans Charme" because it's so basic. It always seemed a good value in the lively Edgar Quinet-Gaité neighborhood. On this visit the hotel was still adequate and clean; the staff was kind; and my husband and I were grateful for two very quiet nights in our 5th-floor room on the courtyard side. However, the final price for the truly tiny room, think walk-in closet size, was shocking: $250 per night with only one night's breakfast added (terrible coffee, good pastries). Perhaps this was the Olympic Games effect?

“Average at best but great location”

Location is spot on - 5 mins from Gare de Montparnasse, and the Montparnasse centre. Also in the midst of what looks like an up and coming place for restaurants and bars. It was a 30 min walk to the Seine which was pleasant to do on a nice day, but there were also Metro stations nearby for when w... more

Location is spot on - 5 mins from Gare de Montparnasse, and the Montparnasse centre. Also in the midst of what looks like an up and coming place for restaurants and bars. It was a 30 min walk to the Seine which was pleasant to do on a nice day, but there were also Metro stations nearby for when we didn't feel like walking. Check in was quick and easy, and the staff were friendly. The room itself was tiny. The bathroom was half the size of the room, but the shower area was so small they may as well have just turned it into a wet room. The wifi did not work most days so we just used roaming. The 'air-con' was just a fan which did not cool the room at all, however low I set it. The floor was dirty when we checked in and, although the room was serviced during our stay, remained dirty. It is a budget hotel but its location makes up for a lot.
