Novotel Vaugirard Montparnasse

Hotel staff was friendly, spoke English and welcoming. Our rooms were ok. The shower is interesting. Just place lots of towels on the floor. It takes a while for water to get hot in the morning. We spent little time in the room so I guess it has all the basic accommodations. AC, hot water for coffee and bed. Location is close to metro stations so it’s easy to get around Paris from hotel. Be sure to go to the 7^th floor at night for a drink or coffee to see the Eiffel Tower do it’s light show every hour at night.

This was the hotel that our travel agent Jordan Travels and host travel agency, Trafalgar, hosted us in. We had a bad first experience, but a good experience overall.
On arrival, we were warmly greeted by the staff. The lobby was pretty and had a bar straight ahead in the back. Our Trafalgar host checked in our group. My husband and I got our keys and to our dismay, entered a room with two double beds. We went back to the reception desk and requested a king bed room, which the receptionist granted us after realizing that we were a couple (yes, I still have my maiden name because of my passport). However, after we lugged our stuff from the first room to the king bed room on another floor, we found that our keys did not work. I was left stranded with our luggage as my husband had to go back downstairs to get the keys fixed AGAIN. After that hurdle, it was smooth sailing from there.
Our king bed room, although rather small room, met our needs.
It was equipped with:
— a coffee maker (a plus for us coffee drinkers!)
— a mini bar and mini fridge (negative because we couldn’t keep any of our drinks or food in it because the fridge was filled with drinks that you had to buy to consume)
— an exterior closet with a safe (odd that a closet wasn’t built in, but it held our stuff)
— a flat screen TV in front of the bed (a little too close for comfort)
— a desk that has a part that can separate and swing around so you can enjoy a nice view of the city
— a large window that opens to the inside
— a iPod player that’s supposed to play AND charge your iPod/​iPhone (negative because it didn’t even play or charge my phone)
The bathroom had a tub/​shower combo that had a glass wall as a shower screen that covered only ¹⁄₃ of the shower area… MEANING… water splashed onto the bathroom floor if you took a shower.
Our group stay included a buffet breakfast every morning. The buffet is actually located on level «–2». You check in and are seated by a hostess. The buffet had a nice selection of french food like a variety of bread, pastries, deli meats and cheeses, potatoes, eggs to boil, scrambled eggs (looked questionable), sausages, cereal, and my favorites:
— croissants (plain and chocolate-​filled)
— crepes (make-​your-​own)
— REAL Nutella
— one-​touch coffee machine that can make you a coffee, cappuccino, espresso, or hot chocolate
The hotel itself is located across from a police station, I think. It’s in a nice area of town and within walking distance to several places, including metro stations, cafes, bars, and a shopping district (not the famous one).
The staff were ALWAYS warm and helpful. We had no problem interacting with them. They even mailed our postcards for us!
Overall, we had a good experience.

Substandard with extra mall rooms and no amenities. Better to spend a little more and have the standard amenities that westerns are accustom to; like hot water and clean towels. Take shower before 7am otherwise you’ll end up with cold water. Forget about air conditioning; they have central AC with frequently brakes down. Stay away from this place.

Extremely small rooms, no iron unless you give a deposit of $ 20 € and ask for it (there is a waiting list), they did not renew the bathroom supplies and gave me the same OPEN soap I had already used. Breakfast is expensive and NOT worth the 18 € they charge for it. There is no outlet in the restroom for you to use any appliances, tub was not cleaned properly, and we got locked out of our room twice! For some reason both of our keys did not work and we had to go down stairs to activate them again. They never tossed out the empty water or juice containers they just left them there for us. I also noticed I tossed out a dirty hand soap and today when I returned to the room, I noticed the cleaning person must have dug in the trash can and placed the same soap back on top of the sink (awful and very unsanitary. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. Also, if you ask for a taxi from the hotel, the rates for the taxi start off at a more expensive rate than if you got it yourself.

Manger dans un hôtel n’est ce pas comme dormir dans une assiette? … Moyen. Nul. Atroce en fait la blague…
Je n’ai testé que le restaurant, et c’était vraiment bien. En semaine, un soir. En été. Les cheveux dorés. Lavés avec du shampoing garnier. Ou timotei. J’ai oublié!
Bref le service est rapide et réactif, ils proposent les accompagnement à volonté, du coup j’ai cru que je pouvais demander au servir de m’accompagner chez le docteur… Il a dit non! J’ai crié «publicité mensongère» alors! Et il m’a expliqué…
La viande est fraîche et la cuisson parfaite! La petite terrasse est super agréable en été. Et le prix est plus que raisonnable!
Je recommande! (Pas les accompagnements mais le restaurant! Lol)

After a long search in the web, we finally found this place and Im not regretting it. Nice hotel in a nice quiet place in the city with good and fair price. Very near to metro station. 20 min walk to Eiffel tower.
The room was very nice, clean and cozy. Good service.
If I want come back to paris again, I will choose this hotel again.

A découvrir l’été !
Belle découverte, j’y suis retournée plusieurs fois durant l’été tellement c’est agréable. Une belle vue sur la Tour Eiffel, de bons cocktails, un service de qualité et un endroit intime. A faire en amoureux un soir d’été !

Hôtel très agréable, personnel souriant et accueillant. Je conseille vivement cet hôtel qui m’a entièrement satisfaite. A né pas louper surtout si vous allez dans cet hôtel: au 7ème étage il y a un bar, le Lounge Bar View, avec une vue vraiment magnifique de la Tour Eiffel et de tout Paris. On peut y boire un cocktail et vior la Tour Eiffel s’illuminer Concept très sympa !

Sehr gut gelegenes (Montparnasse mit 2 Metrolinien und
diversen Bussen in unmittelbarer Nähe) Hotel mit für Pariser Verhältnisse sehr großem Zimmer mit
guter Ausstattung. Wir waren als Familie mit kleiner Tochter dort und
profitierten von dem extra Sofa, das sich zu einem vernünftigen Betten
ausklappen ließ so musste sie nicht wie geplant mit in unserem Bett
schlafen. Weiter positive Ausstattungen: Free-​Wifi, XBox zur freien Nutzung in
der Halle (= Lütten ruhig, während man noch etwas trinkt), üppiges
Frühstücksbuffet zu angemessenem Preis (zumal gratis für die Lütte),
Fitnessraum und Sauna frei, nette Frühstücksterrasse.

Although it’s a chain, this hotel has more of a «boutique» hotel feel to it. The service and amenities were absolutely top notch. A few minutes from the Eiffel Tower, its in the middle of two subway stations (about a 3 – 5 minute walk), a few blocks from a Roman Catholic church, and right in the middle of cute shops and restaurants. Nearby convenience stores also sell buss passes, and the bus stop is only a few seconds from the hotel entrance.
Although it looks like they’ve renovated since I’ve been here, it looked brand new. It has a game area for kids/​families, there are imac computers in the lobby for you to quickly use to check reservations/​travel itineraries/​e-​mail.
I had a little bit of a wifi snafu (you need to pick up your wifi password at the front desk), but the staff quickly fixed that. Although I’m a shameful American, the staff were very pleasant and fluent when speaking English with me. The restaurant within the hotel is also very nice and good for hotel fare.

This place was great as a home base for five of us during our three day stay in Paris, apart of a larger tour of Europe.
The rooms are small, every inch of the room is utilized and can feel quite cramped at times with the three kiddos we have.
The staff is amazing and the place is very kid friendly. They really do go out of their way to help and make your stay pleasant.
Breakfast is good and they even had a magician one morn!
The view from the top floor was unreal… I will post pics that I took…
The wifi is sketchy, but rocks in the lobby. They also have an x box konnects for the kids.

Simples novotel gerade so über ein-​Sterne Hotel. Warum? Kleines Zimmer, schlechter unhöflicher Service, Flecke auf Teppich, schlampig renoviert, man riecht die alten modrigen Rohre im Bad, kleine Macken überall und dann in der minibar angebrochene Wasserflaschen Ah ja, und sehr kleines Zimmer mit gefühltem Feldbett als bettrahmen (klingt metallisch).
Ja, Metro ist nah, ein paar gute Restaurants auch sowie supermärkte Aber für den Preis gehört der laden verboten.
Ich bin mir sicher ihr findet was besseres in Paris. :-). Viel Glück und dann genießt Tag UND Nacht.

Gute Lage, Anlage ist ok. Aber wie leider sehr oft in Paris, hat es die 4 offiziellen Sterne nicht verdient. Zuerst das Gute:
nahe einer Metrostation, relativ ruhige Lage, modernes Hotel. Gutes Frühstück mit nettem Innengarten.
Leider war unser Familienzimmer (für bis zu 4 Personen) selbst für drei Personen etwas knapp, der Service schlecht (das 3. Bett mussten wir selber machen, die Frotteetücher für die dritte Person mussten wir jeden Tag selber organisieren) und das Bad für drei oder vier Personen mangels Hacken und Ablageflächen auch zu knapp. Weitere Mängel waren eine undichte Douchewand, extrem austrocknende Klimaanlage. Unfreundliches Zimmermädchen (stolperte schon um 08.30 ohne anzuklopfen ins Zimmer) und stets unterbesetzte Reception.
Aber geschlafen haben wir gut, das ist die Hauptleistung eines Hotels, reicht aber nicht aus um den Preis zu rechtfertigen.

I was pretty nervous about getting a hotel on my own in Paris seeing how I didn’t know a word of French. To my relief however the hotel staff was very friendly, despite the Parisian, stereotype.
The room was inhabited with modern furniture but in a functional value orientated kind of way of course. Ikea anyone?
My corner room was large enough to move around comfortably. The CAT5 jack in the room and free wifi was a plus! You have to check out the roof-​top bar just once to see the Eiffel tower at dusk.
I think it was a great deal. It was 2 blocks away from two subway stations and across the street from a police station. The problem was the lack of local fare around the area. You will have to head towards Convention Station/​Rue de la Convention to find some good eats.
This so called «Three Star» hotel was better then the 5 star Hilton I stayed in the week before.

Pratique et bien
Hôtel bien situé à proximité de Porte de Versailles et de Montparnasse. Accueil sympa, bien tenu, seul bémol le réglage de la température des chambres.
