Vaneau Saint Germain - Paris, France     

Not a great start when I asked for an extra towel 30 minutes after checking in at 16.00 to complement the one skinny version I had been given and already used for a shower. Its the first time I've stayed in a hotel where they said no. Then I asked for an ashtray as I had a smoking room. I was told no again but that if I put some water in one of the plastic cups in the bathroom, that should work! The room was OK but very hot and humid. There was an air-conditioning control on the wall with a sign saying they were in the process of getting it installed but you should check it is up and running before you book. I never had breakfast because it was pricy at 14 euro and there is a cafe next door. Nice location near the metro and a safe area to walk at night. Would I stay there again? Maybe, for teh location but I think I'd shop around first.

Stayed for 3 nights in a double room. Everything is really great; location is excellent especially considering the price. This hotel is close to the Montparnasse area. The room is of descent size and the bathroom is big and clean. Breakfast is great. I only saw 2 bad things: 1) Our room was located on the 6th floor, but the elevator only reaches the 4th. So we had to walk 2 levels up. 2) The curtains held a lot of dust. If you are allergic, make sure to take your pills with you. We complained about the dust and the staff was really nice, they were sweet, attentive and eager to enhance the hotel's service.
