Positive Reviews
positive:
Very convenient for Gare Montparnasse
The hotel is very close to Gare Montparnasse. It seems guests appreciated the convenience this entailed. It was not only great when they were arriving and departing from the intercity station, but also provided great access to Paris’ metro system.
positive:
Good value for money
Pretty much all guests bringing up the question of value for money felt they had receive good value during their stay. They felt the room rates were quite low considering the convenient location and the fact that the hotel was neat and tidy.
positive:

Negative Reviews
negative:
No lift in the building
A number of guests reported that there was no lift in the building at all – not even a tiny one common to many Parisian hotels. Since the building is four storeys high this resulted in a bit of climbing for some guests during their stay, which was especially tiresome when carrying their luggage to and from the room.
negative:
No in-room Wi-Fi
Guests were not happy that there was no Wi-Fi available in the rooms. The hotel does not seem to be set up for this, with it only being accessible in the pubic area around the reception. While this may have got guests out of their room, it seems that they did not appreciate the inconvenience of not being able to use it in their room.
negative:
Extremely small rooms
It was mentioned that the rooms wee exceptionally small. Going by the reviews, it seems they were large enough for the bed, a small walkway around it and very little else. Some found this a bit cramped.
