The room was small but impeccable; it was cosy on chilly December nights; the service unobtrusive and excellent; the reception staff couldn't have been friendlier (especially given that our French is terrible). As other reviewers have said, the location is terrific as it is in a very quiet street within a couple of minutes of a metro line, and after... more

I visited Hotel Le Brea on a girls trip to Paris in October to celebrate a milestone birthday. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The hotel is quaint and intimate, located on a small street, just a minutes walk from the Vavin metro stop - convenient to all of Paris. This is the perfect neighborhood to return to... more

Hotel Jardin La Brea is a real treat. It's a small hotel located on the Left Bank on a quiet side street. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms comfortable (if a bit small -- but that's not a problem). It's about a minute away from the Vavin Metro station and two blocks from Gare Montpernasse and the... more

Several stays over several years in this charming hotel just off Boulevard Raspail and Boulevard Montparnasse. It's sister hotel is just the other side of the intersection and they are run by a husband-wife team who really know their stuff. Simple but clean and quiet, very economical, good staff, nice breakfast and charming salon in which to meet guests. For... more

I was a little surprised that the hotel did not have an elevator going to our room. I was even more suprised when I couldn't find the shower and sink. When we got into our room we saw that it was small but quite clean. We did notice the bathroom with only a toilet in it. I immediately went down... more

This is a hotel near the Montparnasse train station. Great location near Luxembourg Gardens and walking distance to Metro stop and many good restaurants and shops. Room was very small by American standards, with no-frills appointments. Two twin beds pushed together, so could use as a double or as two twins. Beds were very comfortable and bathroom of adequate size.... more

My teen daughter and I stayed here for a week as a part of a high school graduation present. The room was small but quite adequate for our needs. The room was clean and the daily service good. The stairs are narrow and the whole place is a little eccentric but quite Parisian. The desk staff was always helpful and... more

stayed there for a few days in july 2009, and came away impressed with the value. The location was perfect- next to metro, Luxembourg gardens (absolutely gorgeous), lots of nice shops/ patisserie / restaurants / ATMs / even one of those Bike exchange-rental locations which was almost perfect: you need a credit card with that gold microchip however to rent... more
