This is a truly unique hotel. Each room is really a small, two level townhouse. The furnishings were adequet, nothing to rave about, but the staff was above and beyond. They helped plan each day for us, made the reservations and picked great restaurants that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

The location was great, too. Right in the heart of Montparnase, steps from the Metro and lots of the best restaurants in Paris. Also, none of the tourist crowd seems to make it this far from the Siene. It is also known to locals as the best place in Paris for crepes.

You are just minutes from everywhere on the metro, buy a day long or week long pass, it makes life a lot easier. It is just a few blocks from the Latin Quarter, if that's your thing.

If you're looking for a true Paris experience, not the usual tourist thing, this is a great place for it.

Look...you get what you pay for. I have stayed at 600 euro, 400, 200 euro hotels and this one at 119. Believe me, for 119 euro, it's worth it. The location is very convenient to the Latin Quarter and the rooms are located back from the street, so it's relatively quiet. The staff was helpful.

Yes, the rooms could use a refurb. There were marks on the wall where people had banged their suitcase, etc. However, the bed was nice, the linens clean and the bathroom good size. I don't know if previous reviewers were expecting the Crillion but it's apples and oranges. My rating of 'average' is for the <200 euro price range for paris hotels.

This is not a 'luxury' hotel - so don't compare it to one. However, if you're looking for a very reasonably priced room, this is a good choice.

I was concerned that the accommodation would be as dire as suggested in some of the reviews but I was very pleasantly surprised. We had fantastic rooms; just as pictured on the web site. They were extremely clean and far better than any hotel I have stayed in in Paris.

I don't quite understand why there are so many bad reviews of the Residence accommodation and, particularly given the price, it was exceptional for a city centre property.

The location was ideal and full of classic Paris charm - great bistros and excellent access to all the sites. I wouldn't hestitate to stay here again and would happily recommend it, especially to families with children.

This was not what we expected from a 4 star hotel. The rooms (we had 2 rooms, 1 for the children) were small and dark. In one of the rooms we had problems with the lights and the shower hose that was leaking water. The interior did not feel up to date.
We never used the kichenette because it was locked and we would not liked to have a meal or a coffe in the rooms anyway.
One good thing was that the location of the hotel was quiet and undisturbed.
We will definitely choose another hotel next time we visit Paris!
