Concorde Montparnasse - Paris, France 

A BRILLIANT STAY
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Myself and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel for 3nights before Valentines day. We chose this hotel, as we thought it looked clean, modern and the location was perfect, and when we arrived, we were very impressed. Most of the staff spoke perfect english and were all very helpful to our needs. Our room was spacious, warm and comfortable. And, to our suprise, there was a ice cube despenser just down the corridor! The hotel was just a short was from the metro and train station, and by buying an unlimited ticket for zones 1 & 2, we were both able to travel Paris easily for just 11 euro 60. The hotel was very easy to get to from the airport, charles de gaulle. We were able to catch the coach 4 which dropped us of straight outside our hotel, and we could also use the metro for a cheaper option. Surrounding the hotel was alot of bars and resturarants, however we didn't usually stay in montparnasse as we stayed near the champs ellysse til late, as the metro closed at 2am. The breakfasts at the hotel was very impressive, I suggest that if you decide to have breakfast at the hotel, that you go to the buffet, even though it gots 20 euros, you do get what you pay for. I am glad that i and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel as it made our stay in paris a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Great hotel for the price

The hotel was great for the price that I paid (a last minute deal on the Eurostar website). I liked the hotel a lot especially the fact that it was air conditioned which is rare in Paris it seems. The room was a good size and modern and clean. The bad points were: They replaced all the toiletries each day (although the soap was used once and the shampoo and shower gel had only a small amount gone from the bottles). The replaced all the towels (although they were hanging up to dry). Seems they don't really care about waste.... There was an excellent trouser press, however no iron in the room. Reception said at 9:00am in the morning that there were none available and I should call back. When I asked when one would be available I got told tomorrow morning. The mini bar was locked and I had to contact reception to unlock it. After they established that they had a valid credit card number on file for the hotel room they then unlocked it. Overall the hotel was good and I would stay there again (making sure this time I sent a request when I booked for an iron in the room).

Great Hotel - Value for Money!

We visited Hotel Concorde Montparnasse in May of this year. This was our second visit to Paris having been the previous year. Although we found the "Concorde" to be a bit further from the main tourist points than that of the hotel we had stayed in last year, it was still accessible to all the interesting points and was a much better hotel in terms of value for money. The room we were provided was much larger than a typical Parisian hotel room and it was extremely clean. The receptionist who checked us in and out was very pleasant and friendly and we always got a nice greeting from the doorman. Unfortunately, we didn't eat in the hotel restaurant, however, we did order room service one evening which was DELICIOUS! Also the bed was so comfortable I wanted to bring it home. Overall a very pleasant stay and would certainly recommend the Concorde Montparnasse. GREAT POINT - the bus stop for the airport bus is practically outside the door which is fantastic if you have an early morning flight home - like we did! ANGE FROM GLASGOW

Good Hotel, but not close to downtown
Posted: Tue, Jul 01 2008
Just finished a 6 day stay at the hotel. The Hotel is nice, with free WiFi (compared to the Meridien across the street at 25E per day!). Breakfast is very nice, but at 21E is quite pricey. Didn't matter to me, since I got it included in my room rate for much less, so would suggest anyone interested in breakfast do the same. The rooms were nicely decorated, though a little worn in place. The bathrooms look to have been recently renovated, and were quite nice. Staff was fully bilingual in French and English, and were helpful and pleasant. OTher reviews are accurate in mentioning the close supermarket, that the Gaite station is actually closer, etc. Happily, unlike another reviewer, my room was ready quite early in the morning, but I specifically requested that, since flights from North America arrive in the morning. Excellant Air Conditioning, even when it got quite hot outside. There were only 2 shortcomings for me: 1. They had a real shortage of irons, so if you need one, ask for one right away; and 2. the location, while close to the Montparnasse train station, is quite a hike to the Metro (Montparnasse Bienvenue), and Montparnasse itself is a bit of a journey (6-7 Metro stops) to downtown. Not a big deal, but when it's hot and sticky out, that becomes a much bigger deal. Overall, if you need to be in this neighbourhood (i.e. for business or the like) it's an excellant choice. However, if your purpose is to sightsee, you may want to see if you can find a hotel at a similar price, closer to downtown.
