• Nice, clean, design.
• Room service was slow.

“Very nice hotel just near Montparnasse Station, very convenient if traveling by TGV. Nice rooms, design lobby and rooms.”

• Brand new room, Plasma TV and very nice staff!
• The room was not ready.

“I was pretty worried about staying at this hotel. My room was fantastic, brand new and had a huge plasma TV - I couldn't have been happier. The staff was also very nice and public area was very nice and modern. Thanks!”

• The location was great.
• The room decor (very dated).

“The hotel is in a good location. You are only 5 minutes from the train and Metro station at Gare Montparnasse. The hotel claimed however that it is a 4 star hotel but on a good day it is a 3 star at best. The rooms are very dated. Everything is so expensive there. However there are two markets that sell really decent sandwiches and the like and there are plenty of cafes around too.”

• Free wireless in the lobby. Fabulous!
• I bought a coffee at the bar and the cup was dirty.

“They are very accommodating there. We stayed away from hotel restaurants because the prices were very high - especially considering the weak dollar. The staff was very friendly. Just the bar experience was a disappointment. After I politely pointed out the dirty coffee cup, they changed the cup and filled the new cup half full (since I'd drunk it before I saw the sticky stains). I think after having drunk from a dirty cup (sticky sugar stains when I hadn't put sugar in it) they could have apologized and given me a full cup. Just very irritating.”

• Location close to Metro, lobby WiFi.
• Staff attitude.

“This was my third stay here. Upon check-in, I requested the same room I had last time, if available. I liked the low floor and proximity to the elevator. The reception woman snootily replied that I'd been upgraded last time (really? Nothing about the room screamed upgrade to me). This room was awful, and reminiscent of my very first stay at this hotel: smelly, old and moldy. I went back down and told her it was not a 4* room, and that I wanted a room in the same category. Finally got it. So here's the deal: This hotel has basic rooms that are 1-2* and old bathrooms and well-worn beds (not to mention smoky stench). It also has classic rooms that were remodeled in the past year, and fit a 4* standard. To be clear, even classic rooms are not luxury (think IKEA etc), but they are clean, bright with modern bathrooms and beds. On the plus side, the hotel has free WiFi in the lobby, so in the evenings you have lots of interesting people hanging out on their PCs. Food was decent too.”

• Large bathroom, nice view from upper floors.
• Undistinguished exterior architecture.

“Convenient access to Gare Montparnasse and easy walking distance to Jardin Luxembourg, St Germaine and Latin Quarter. The immediate surroundings are ugly concrete buildings, but the view from within makes up for it and the rooms are nice.”

• It had the availability that best met my needs for the duration of my stay.
• It was 10 minutes from the event I was attending. No airport shuttle.

“It was a nice hotel, good for travelers who enjoy the finer things in life but cannot justify the extravagant expense.”

• Lobby was nice, fairly convenient location.
• Ugly. Seemed as if it was built in 1972 and never renovated.

“I have stayed in nicer motels on highways in the US. The room was ugly, the area was not very nice (though convenient), the beds were typical European quality but not 4-star quality. Does not deserve to have the le meridian name.”

• Location.
• Rooms need renovation.

“It is a nice hotel, but it has seen better days. The location was amazing! The views of the Eiffel tower were breathtaking, even though we did not go there. The rooms were tired and needed renovation. However, I can imagine that if they were renovated, we probably would not have received the prices we did. This is a good hotel, of a good standard. But do not expect luxury. Expect good service, a good location, comfort, but not luxury. I recommend it to anyone traveling to Paris, who has to consider their budget but wants to stay in a good quality hotel. If you are a business traveler and the cost of the hotel is being paid by your company, stay somewhere else.”

• Renovations nicely done, free WiFi in the lobby lounge created a fun social scene.
• The concierge desk.

“I hate to admit it since my stay last year was so awful, but the Le Meridien Montparnasse has made some very positive changes since my last stay only a year ago. Whereas my room last year was nasty, smelly, moldy and very old and worn (2* quality at best), this year I was treated to one of the newly remodeled rooms. What a difference! The new rooms, while a little Ikea-ish, are clean, modern, and comfy. Good beds and nice bathrooms. Finally, this hotel has some rooms that merit a 4* rating. But I understand the majority are not yet renovated, so buyer beware. My only recommendation is to join Starwood's guest club and hope for the best. The lobby is also nice, which is good since I spent a ton of time down there (free WiFi). Internet in the rooms was too expensive for a leisure traveler without an expense account. My only beef, the unfriendly and superbly unhelpful concierge desk. The chubby guy with the moustache sent me on a mile-long hike with my suitcase to a non-existent Laundromat. And, the same guy almost caused me to miss my train, but for the grace of a god-like cabbie who saved me. Fyi: the hotel will not order you a cab. They will say they will and do nothing but drop your baggage in the taxi line out front, which is often 8-10 people deep between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Since taxis only come by about one every 10-15 minutes at that time of day, you can wait an hour or more easy! I had not only stopped by the night before, but called when I woke up, and both times was promised a taxi reservation. Beware and plan accordingly.”

• Location was across the street from the metro.
• Tired decor and very "springy", uncomfortable bed.

“I have stayed here twice. It is an anti-Paris experience meaning it is a modern 70's decor and feel. But its location was great. Where ever you are in Paris, you can see the tour Montparnasse and get your direction. Great views from our room on the 23rd floor. Biggest complaint!”

• Great location for taking trains to the Loire valley.
• Paper thin walls that allow you to hear your neighbors' intimate conversations.

“Great location well served by les cars air France from Charles de Gaul and only airports. Fast and easy access to the Gare Montparnasse which serves well for anyone who plans to continue onto the Loire valley. The area is very well served by countless high quality restaurants and cafes. The area around the hotel has very few tourists and allows you take pleasant walks and see Paris as it actually is, away from the hordes of camera toting tourists. All told, a great location featuring mediocre at best rooms. Technically 4 stars based on amenities but this would barely pass for 2.5 stars elsewhere.”

• Great location all around. Helpful staff.
• Rooms need redesign and updating.

“Great location in a less touristy area. Wonderful connection to Airports and to Versailles. Several outstanding restaurants close by. Very close to all major and some minor attractions. Would stay here again without hesitation.”

• Great for 3 star hotel, excellent view of Paris.
• Room had worn-out look.

“Well-situated near major Metro lines, full of large tour groups. Some floors have been renovated, but not the floor on which our room was. Nevertheless, I feel I got value.”

• At least it was cheap.
• Well past its prime and in need of a major renovation.

“Disappointing. Clearly not a 4 star hotel by any reasonable classification. Neighborhood is sketchy, and certainly not in the heart of the St.”

• Very close to the metro. Modern, clean room.
• In an area where there's not much to do.

“This hotel was very good, but not great. The lobby was elegant, but the room was small and simple, though very clean and adequate. I was very happy with my experience though there were large tour groups of senior citizens and other foreigners who crowded the lobby often. The location was right near the metro and Air France bus which was very convenient at the end of our stay when we went to the airport. Very helpful at the front desk and concierge. Montparnasse area doesn't have too much to offer for tourists, but is easily accessible to other areas.”

• Loved hotel.
• A little far from centre of city.

“Room excellent, staff friendly and very helpful, Atlantic bar good but pricey, breakfast more than ample, cold buffet perfect but hot breakfast could have been hotter. We loved our time at hotel and would highly recommend.”
