le 55 Montparnasse Hôtel

Great for local stay near gare Montparnasse. Would stay again.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE DO NOT BOOK HERE. Got there last Saturday at 9pm only to find out that they don’t respect policies or reservations from third party websites. I had made a reservation through hotels.com (I have used them for years and have never had any issues with them), and this reservation was like any others Ive made, pay at the hotel and kept getting emails throughout the day as reminders of my upcoming stay. We get to the hotel at 9pm, after a long day of traveling and the guy at the front desk simply says there is no reservation under that name and began looking on the computer and making calls pretending to understand what has happened. I showed him my reservation on the hotels.com app and everything was still there. All of the sudden he found my reservation as being canceled. First he said something along the lines of “we are remodeling the hotel and dont have many rooms available, have been canceling lately”. Then he proceeded to tell me that they tried to charge my card to keep the reservation and it didn’t go through so they decided to cancel without letting ME KNOW or letting hotels.com know. Then he said they didnt have rooms for those days anyways. To make the story short, and after an hour of him making excuses, the people at hotels.com talking to him and him being unable to explain why my reservation got cancelled, I had to book another hotel on my own and get out of there.

Very clean hotel, with little problems. Only complaints are that my hair dryer didn’t work, and housekeeping came in when sleeping, even with my dnd on the door. Very lovely stay overall.

Delighted to find this gem of a hotel in a really cool, quirky neighbourhood. Hotel staff were so friendly that we felt like we were home from home. Signs of refurb were still there but rooms were comfortable and cool in the hot summer. Excellent location with fab bars, cafés and grocery stores nearby. A big thank you to the team for looking after my Uncle's glaucoma eyedrops in their fridge when not in use. We will be back and will be recommending.

The hotel was good, located near a metro station, so easy to get around. The rooms were small but had all the necessary basics, the staff was polite and helpful. I just wish it was slightly more clean and fresh smelling.

The front dest receptionist Sarah was awesome. She helped me a lot and pointed to stores and areas in Paris amd around the hotel that fit my taste in quality. A huuuuuge thanks to Sarah and the whole staff of the hotel for your help and support. God bless you and fulfill your needs. The property was under renovation, but my room was new and clean. The only off point that there was no refrigerator in the room. The area is nice. Lots of choices for food, near public transportation ( bus and metro/subway). This is a good place to stay for a budget week or weekend in Paris. Not too touristy so you can get the sense of a local Parisian life.

We paid for an executive triple but it was not available the first night. We were told we could transfer the second night. We dropped our bags at 9am and went out when we returned at 12noon we were told to come back at 3pm when the room would be ready. We had to sit in reception for 3 hours. When we got the correct room it was noisy. The staff said they didn’t understand but later the cleaner informed up it was a water pump and the motor from the lift. The noise never stopped.

We stayed here for essentially 24 hours for La fete de la musique and the the man at the reception was extremely hospitable. Made sure we settled in well, gave us recommendations for food and was all round very present. It is also in a nice little area! Highly recommend the stay.

Lobby smells bad. No telephone inside the rooms. No fridge. Location is great. Metro is very close. Nice staff.

Affordable hotel under refurbishment. Staff was friendly. Batgroom floor on 305 was not tilted the right way. Making water all over the floor.

excellent location to Montparnasse train station lots if restaurants

Staff was lovely and in a cute area right beside a metro line. Cafe, bakery, grocery, laundromat and kebab nearby. Bed and shower were nice!

Not bad

It’s Paris, I know the hotels and buildings are old, but I wish this was cleaner… The room had a musty smell as well so we kept the windows open for a long time. Some of the bedsheets had stains too.

The receptionist was very friendly, polite and greets in a courteous manner. The hotel is fairly close to everything and good pricing.

This is a basic accomodation, small but clean. The only real issue came on the second night when there was a heavy rain. The rain was getting into the building and shorting out the electrical panel repeatedly. Power was restored to everything except the air conditioning. We tried to sleep with the window open, but people on the street yelling and motorcycles, combined with humid conditions, resulted in a less than restful night. The electrical issue is highly concerning.

Stayed for one night. Staff extremely helpful and polite. Very comfortable room with a double bed, clean sheets and the mattress on the firm side, which is my favourite. The AC was working and that was v a relief for the 32 degrees outside. Nice, practical bathroom. It didn’t have a mini fridge but that may be standard in European hotels. Fantastic area as for commuting. Bus 59 that will take you to RER B station in a few minutes. Another metro in 50 meters. Stores and cafes right around the corner. Strongly recommended hotel.

Great location, friendly staff, affordable prices but kind of run down, could use improvements inside room.

Very old dated hotel. Typical size for Paris, small. Very close to the train station, and area is very walkable. Good place to stay on a budget

A perfect quiet spot and so close and convenient!

Proximity to the metro and cafe and restaurants. It's a bit awsy from all the tourist attractions but easy to take metro or walk. Rooms are fairly small, but we just needed to sleep.
