Hotel Central Paris - Paris

Highly recommended. Terrific staff. Close to restaurants, great local cafe, nearby to a true Parisian park. Close to 3 Metro stations. Fresh produce market mid week. Cool art market on Sunday. Local supermarket close by, large Monoprix supermarket around corner. Rooms clean, just watch out for the Paris plumbing. Crossiants abound.

Good for a few days, if you do not need to spend too much time in the hotel.

Location is excelent. Close to the historic center of Paris and near several Metro stations. The neighbourhood is packed with lovely restaurants, although there is also an area with many sex shops, not as lovely. The hotel rooms have been maintained and are clean, but they are small, completely NOT noise proofed, and our room did not have night tables and had a "closet" that was unusable. No place at all to store any cloths!. The bathroom was absurdly small and unvented. Not pleasant!. Despite the great location and good efforts of employees, I would not use this hotel again.

Although the lobby and public areas were a little frayed and tired, the bedroom and bathroom were clean and entirely adequate for a comfortabl stay at this price. The room faced a public garden square and unexpectedly there was very little noise. Public transport from the area to other parts of Paris was excellent.

Cheap, simple, clean.

I liked very much my stay in this hotel. The room was essential but enough spacious for two persons. There were a desk, 2 small wardrobes, 2 chairs and a mirror. The room was very clean, quite and with a private bathroom which was also very clean. The position in Montparnasse area is perfect: close to 3 metro stations and many bus stop and plenty of cinemas, theatres and different kind of restaurants and street markets in the week ends. The breakfast was 6 euros, so we walked around and we found a cafe where it was served for 4 euros! Anyway, I noticed that breakfasts in Paris are between 6 and 7 euros, both in hotels and in cafes. I definitely recommend this hotel and I will return there.

Impossible to have an extra half day in order to leave the hotel at 18h instead of noon, because the hotel was fully booked , but thanks to the good understanding of the day receptionist, I was allowed to keep the room till 14h, with no extra charge, which permits me to have a bath before going to Roissy apt to catch my plane to Singapore, which I consider a positive and commercial action. This hotel is good for Tourist as it is very well position in Montparnasse area, famous for its easy going night life.

I booked a doubled room. Positive items: hotel sourroundings (a lot of restaurant, very easy access to underground, etc); nice furniture (in Paris you can't pretend to stay in Versailles!) Negative items: you can hear everything from the other rooms; the room was not so cheap.

A clean,smallish triple room with no tea/coffee facility in the room.With no air conditioning in this room it was good to be able to open the windows wide, but in doing so you were overlooked by many windows around the hotel. A very basic breakfast in comparison to many other continental breakfasts we have encountered & at 6 euro for tea& bread quite expensive.The lift was small but most helpful.The hotel is really central, excellent access to the Metro,eating places & for shopping.

I want to remark that the personnel (reception, dining room, cleaners, etc.) at this hotel was extremely kind, nice, helpful in many many ways. For every thing we asked, they were ready to collaborate. We are veeeeeery satisfied. If I had to go back to Paris, I would choose this hotel.

We stayed at Hotel Central for a night on two separate occasions. It is very convenient for Gare Montparnasse and the the TGV services to the southwest. It is quiet, clean and simple but perfectly adequate as a stopover in Paris. It is tucked away by a small park so can be hard to find at first but worth the effort

The location is very convenient for public transport (to get around Paris and to/from the airports), and for restaurants. It is also very safe. We will happily return to the hotel.

Pretty much a standard offering for a 2 star horel in Paris, its quite acceptable. The location is a plus, as it is easy to find, and close to the Gare Montparnasse and the set-down point for the Air france buses from CDG. Plenty of nice restuarants, and small theatres nearby, and the street is quite even though its close to busy Avenue de Maine. The hotel is in Rue du Maine.

Walls were thin and we could clearly hear conversations in hallway. We did not have trouble with noise outside of the hotel. Overall a good experience, though.

Everything was ok, except that according to the Web site, air conditioning was available, but it wasn't. It would have been a disaster if the weather hadn't been as nice.

Good small hotel overall. But in serious need of refurbishing the lobby (uggly and dirty) and changing the general outlook viewed from the outside( it does not look like a hotel but rather like a crumbling apartment building)

My 25th visit to Paris, exactly what I wanted. Expectedly small room, clinically clean, full sized bathroom, priced just right for Paris, great area (Montparnasse). This is Paris and it is wonderful. F Thompson Toronto Ontario Canada

The location of the hotel is close to the metro, but you will probably need a detailed map to locate it from the Denfert Rochereau stop from Orly Airport. The staff is very friendly and will help you in your requirements. The room is pretty average for a hotel, you might be able to get a better room in the same area. The room is not sound proof, can heard the room next to ours speak and even in the bathroom hear the tap running from the next room! It can be quite disturbing when the other room comes back very late at night.

I was satisfied with this hotel very much. The room is simple, but always clean with cleanliness. The reception understood our clumsy English with kindness. For a low price, I think that the contents of the hotel are substantial. When I travel in Paris, I want to stay at this hotel again.

Location, breakfast,price are fine.But the hall, the rooms and the hotel whole, would need a complete and substantial renovation. Definetly good for spartan travellers in Partis.

3 persons rooms too small. Reception rather old and not very welcoming. Parking at Montparnasse station very expensive. But room was clean and functional, good for a short stay. Several Metro stations and theaters next to the hotel.

The Hotel was very low bathroom dirty and very small room very small hotel located right beside the red distric......

I am lucky enough so that I have stayed here for just 1 night. Staff was really poorly behaved. When I reached hotel, they told me that my room is not yet ready. Every subordinate is pointing badly to their superior. Only good point living in this hotel is its proximity to most of the tourist spots. (20 min from Bir Hakiem tube station(Where you have to get off for Eiffel tower)).

Great location, handy for the left bank. Area has many restaurants and cafes. Clean, efficient hotel, no fuss.

Room was very little for 3 beds! No free parking, only an very expensive one (24 EUR per day)

El hotel esta muy bien ubicado. Me parece que las habitaciones dejan mucho que desear y no coinciden con las fotos, por lo menos la habitacion que yo me hospedé. El baño esta bien, es amplio y limpio pero no tenia cortina. La atención del personal es excelente y es lo único que lo salva junto con la ubicación. La relación precio calidad es regular. Me hospedé en otros hoteles de 2 estrellas en Roma y en Madrid y no se comparan con éste.

Very convenient to Montparnesse but directions supplied were no help at all, interior in need of TLC and some fresh paint. Would stay there again

Wonderful location, very big and quiet room for Paris. The property is clean, in a great neighborhood, with good restaurants that did not feel like tourist traps. The only downside was the lack of internet connection. I wish I could pay for it, but there was nothing available except some free weak signal in the hotel lobby.

So clean...and confortable. ... oportunity to improve some details on the lobby.

Was very satisfied for the relationship between price/ quality.

The location of our hotel was the best thing about it. The picture of the rooms on the net show well decorated rooms, the reality of our room did take us by surprise. Paint was peeling off the ceiling, the carpet wasn't stapled to the ground properly, the wallpaper was something my great grandmother might have had in her home. We could only find one socket in the room and that was just inside the door of the bathroom. Initially we were tempted to move but then our parisian friend called and explained to us that this is what a budget hotel in Paris was like and she had stayed in worse. Aside from decor issues the room was cleaned every day, our beds, towels etc, we didn't have much interaction with staff but the receptionist had fine english and was helpful whenever we did approach him. From a location price point of view the hotel is perfect but if your looking for a touch of luxury this isn't it and you will have to increase that budget.

Hotel in an excellent location,very near metro and air france bus station and restaurants and markets.The room very small and simple but clean.Quiet place.Expensive in relation to quality.The front and hall quite poor.nice staff.Good only to sleep .

+ well located, easy to reach from Montparnasse station, quiet street, close to supermaket and restaurants - bad Q/P ratio. Tiny rooms, that need serious refreshing (bathroom was new). Doors, common spaces, corridors, lift are noisy. Walls are in paper, and you can hear other clients TV or more... Take your ear plugs.

El hotel esta super limpio, sencillo pero confortable. El ßunico problema es con auto es muy dificil de localizar, la calle no aparece en los mapas.

Clean hotel, nice view on a little green square. The hotel and its furniture need some freshening ! The room I had was OK, but not very well insulated from noise, especially from adjoining bathrooms. I had trouble with the breakfast room service : I asked for breakfast in the room at 7:15 (I had to leave for the railway station at 7:50), and they mixed it up with another room breakfast. The serving lady said she would come back right away with the right tray, but 15 mn later I was still waiting. So I went downstairs and was told that "there were other customers before me". I eventually got my breakfast tray , but not before 7:35. I suppose I should have had breakfast in the common room downstairs ... On the whole, the hotel is OK for its price, but maybe not for a long stay.

Room was a little shabby considering the price but it was clean and the location was excellent. Staff was courteous and helpful. Good place for someone on a budget who doesn't want to stay in a hostel.

The room was clean enough, but the bathroom tiles could do with a good scrub. The room was very noisy, cleaner started on same floor every day at 9 am! Outside room on main road was very noisy from about 7.30 am. THere was Satalite TV, but no english speaking chanels, even CNN would have been good. The hotel was well situated and the cafe/bars in the immediate area were pretty good and excellent value. I would stay in this part of Paris again, but not this particular hotel. Staff were very nice, but hotel needs a good make-over.

Very good location, nice room, very quiet. Ensuite bathroom extremely clean.

We were extremely satisfied with the hotel - the only short-coming being that our room was not spacious, however for Eur95 a night bed and breakfast for a triple room, what more could we ask for! This is a good spot for families since the hotel staff are adequately accommodating and the breakfasts (bread & croissants with coffee or hot chocolate) are plentiful and delicious. Moreover there is a little park/play-ground in the square outside as well as a number of casual and inexpensive restaurants close by that cater to children.

My family and I stayed in a Triple Room (Superior). The room was spacious, tastefully appointed, and very clean. The bathroom was much more spacious than what you typically find in European hotels. The staff was very friendly, professional, and made every effort to assist us during our stay in Paris. The hotel is located within close proximity to two Metro stations. My only complaint was that the continental breakfast was not complementary and that it was expensive. I would advsise anyone staying at the hotel to have breakfast at a nearby patisserie.

Very close to metro station and good restaurants.

Small but pleasant hotel; one of its greatest advantages - it is very close to most of the most important landmarks in Paris, the others are simple to reach by public transport.

Once we found it (don't get confused by Rue du Maine and Avenue du Maine) we found the entry way a little offputtingly bare bones. However, the staff was pleasant. The room was located behind the Concierge desk and was tiny - we had a Triple Superior room - which was a double bed and a pullout double sofa bed. Not much room to move! The breakfast was not included and at 6E for croissant and coffee and juice, we passed. The INNO Monoprix just accross the street has a terrific deli/coffee area (as well as a full supermarket) which is far more economical. The bathroom was obviously recently renovated, but the sink leaked and there was no wall hook for the shower head. However, the bathtub was deep and the water hot, and after a long day of walking, a long soak was most welcome. The hotel is 5 to 10 minutes from the Montparnasse tower- great views of Paris, the Cemetery, and on Saturdays, a farmers market. There are also many restaurants nearby. We did not love this hotel, but neither did we hate it, and it is centrally located and reasonably cheap for Paris. It suffered by comparison to the Terminus Lyon that we stayed in for the first part of the week, which we adored.

Once you have the difference between Avenue Du Maine and RUE de Maine sorted out, and you are in fact looking for Rue du Maine, the way to find the hotel is easy and quite simple from the Air France bus drop-off at Gare Montparnasse. Very interesting neighbourhood. Lots going on. At first the entrance to the hotel did not appear too inviting, but the reception from desk clerk was courteous and friendly, and our room (#105) was one of the renovated rooms and quite modern and comfortable, window to the rear inner courtyard made for a quiet stay. The hook to hang the shower head above your head while showering is not there just yet, but may come. Restaurants plentiful in any cuisine and price range you wish, down the street, around the corner, and Ave du Maine. Great location.

El hotel es confortable, habitaciones de tamaño mediano, baño amplio (a comparacion del resto del cuarto), personal muy amable, el desayuno esta incluido (petit dejeuner). Podria volver a hospedarme ahi en mi proxima visita, lo recomiendo, la calidad precio - servicio es muy buena. Felicidades

Central Paris is a good hotel if you only need a place for sleeping, having a showing and keep the baggage safe. It's not a beautiful hotel but the facilites (bathroom, tv, etc) are good and new. The surroundings seems not very good when you arrive, but is a neighbourhood very safe and quiet. And you have all the commodities (restaurants, supermarkets, train station) very near. Very well connected with underground and buses (Gare de Montparnasse).

Franchement l'hôtel est très bien situé, la relation qualité prix est très correcte et l'accueil agréable. L'hôtel donne sur un petit parc et il n'y a pas beaucoup de bruit mais en plus si vous demandez les chambres qui donnent sur la cour c'est encore plus silencieux tout en étant dans un quartier vivant, théâtres, terrasses de café et très pratique pour le transport. Idéal si vous arrivez à Orly.

I was expecting a small room but it verged on micro. Location very convenient to visit the sights of Paris and transportation - trains, metro & car rental. It was our cheapest accommodation during a months European touring and so was a fair price for what we got.

We had a very good stay overall, rooms very clean & modern with an excellent location. Would definitely recommend staying here for the price. If we are ever in Paris again we will book this Hotel.

The hotel was basic accomodation,brand new bathrooms,small rooms but comfortable. It was perfect as as basis to explore Paris. The hotel staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough for us.

Das Zimmer war klein, sehr sauber funktional eingerichtet und absolut ruhig. Die Lage ist genial: es gibt mehrerer Metro-Stationen und sehr viele Lokale in der unmittelbaren Umgebung. Ich empfehle dieses Hotel ohne Einschränkung weiter.

La vista desde la habitación era magnífica, la situación muy buena, Ha sido uno de los mejores hoteles en que he estado. Excelentemente comunicado para ir a cualquier parte de París. Es un hotel al que volvería sin dudarlo. La vue depuis la chambre était magnifique, la situation très bonne, il a été un des meilleurs hôtels où j'ai été. Magnifiquement communiqué pour aller à toute endroit de Paris. C'est un hôtel à auquel je porrai retourner sans douter. The view from the room was magnificent, the very good situation, has been one of the best hotels in than I have been. Very good communicated to go to any part of Paris. It is a hotel to which it would return without to doubt.

Very clean and confortable and very good price. Excellent location in an area with many restaurants and services. Two metro lines and a railway station close to the hotel. You can get to the touristic area in 20 minutes.

My stay at Central Paris Hotel was good in general. The metro stop (line 6) is near to the hotel, even if that one advised (Montparnasse Bienvenue) is not so near. The welcoming has been excellent, my single room was clean and complete (bathroom present) even if a bit small, also for one person, so I suggest to reserve double room.

The hotel was kept very clean and was located in a very convenient location. The staff spoke very good English and were very helpful.

The hotel was very clean and quiet considering it is located in the centre of the city. the metro station was only a few hundred yards away so it was very easy to find your way around paris from there. i would definetely stay again when in paris.

Das Zimmer war äußerst großzügig, sauber und gut gelegen. Ich empfehle dieses Hotel gerne weiter und würde es auch sofort wieder buchen.

It is a good hotel if you do not want to pay much money for accommodation (60 euros/night including breakfast) And it is very well situated, near 3 metro stations and several restaurants and bistrots surrounded. Clean, quiet and perfect if you don't need luxuries.

Great location-very near where Airport Bus from CDG drops you off.Convenient to Metro or to explore the sights on foot.Hotel was simple in style but very adequate.Very clean, new bathroom. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend.As for Paris - it's a must see city- Fabulous.

The actual hotel looks very different on the outside from the photo on the website, actual building looks much older and unclean. The room was nice but no air conditioning, which is something important to have travelling in europe in summer. All else is nice but commensurate to the price you pay.

Reservation was linked to venere and not to my name. This complicated the check in prosess since no reservation had my name. This problem was sorted out and with a happy ending.

Anche se di modeste dimensioni la camera, un bagno veramente più che pulito. Colazione abbondante ma soprattutto un'ospitalità da fare invidia ai 5 stelle!!!!Siamo arrivate alle 3 di otte e per il receptionist sembrava mezzogiorno, Veramente ANDATECI SUBITO e poi la zona è tranquillissima anche di notte piena di gente locali adatta anche per girare a tre donne sole!

I have reserved two double superior rooms of Central Hotel in Paris and got a discount. However, when we were checking out, the servicer of Central Hotel denied the discount for us of the price. Besides, we showed the email records to him, he still insisted on that we were wrong. At last, his manager agreed to give us the discount which we should got. If one can deny the truth of the reservation which have happened, there's no mean to have a reservation in advance. If one can deny the words written in black and white, how can we feel easy to have dealings with him? It's very important to let every friend to be very careful when contacting with hotels, even though their equipment is good.

This hotel is in a great position. First room noisy, but second lovely and quiet. Rooms were more than excellent for Paris. Service was very very good. Would stay there again without hesitation. Internet is into phone line in room.

Central Paris Hotel is so clean and quiet, we were overwhelmed with the value. Great find.

The location is perfect, there are many metro stations near. The room had a superb view. We had air conditioner which was perfect as it was extremely hot. Great value for money!

My sisters and I just returned Paris and stayed at Central Hotel after a recommendation from a friend. The hotel is excellent for the price we paid. We shared a triple room, which was a decent size considering European standards. The rooms are clean and well kept. It was perfect for our purpose. The front desk is courteous and very helpful. The hotel is located close to lots of restaurants, cafes. There is a very convenient metro stop just two minutes from the hotel. I would stay here again.

Everything was exactly as quoted.. Excellent location very centralized and good room for the price. The staff was extremely cordial and helpful.I would not hesitate to book again.

Wonderful value in this pleasant, somewhat plain hotel in a neighborhood that has a little of everything. The markets on Blvd. Edgar Quinet were worth the stay by themselves. Front desk staff were always pleasant and helpful and the breakfasts were excellent simple continental breakfasts with the best butter and breads. There is lots to do in the neighborhood and with three Metro stops nearby you can easily get to anywhere you want. I'll now stay here every time I'm in Paris, and can't imagine that you'll beat the value anywhere.

We had a great time. The hotel is located close to the public transportation. However, the hotel needs to check the sewer pipe to our room because there is a leak. This could be dangerous if gases colect. It is not rare for exposions to occur from sewer gas collection. We stayed in the room with the windows open.

Considerando i prezzi di parigi l'hotel per dormire va piu' che bene,pulito e niente piu'.La posizione e' eccellente perche' tutto intorno e' pieno di ristoranti,pub, locali e soprattutto la metropolitana a 50mt dall'albergo.Allo stesso prezzo di altre soluzioni tornerei senz'altro qui.

Zelo smo bili zadovoljni. Very, very good choise. We will return.

Can't be better

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Franz. Frühstück (incl.) schmeckte ausgezeichnet.Sehr freundliches Personal, tlw. nur mit geringen Sprachkompetenzen, aber sehr bemüht und auf die Wünsche der Gäste eingehend. Das Hotel hat einen sehr guten Anschluss an den öffentlichen Verkehr. Beim nächsten Parisbesuch ist dieses Hotel sicher erste Wahl!

We are American college students who went to Paris to spend our spring break. We had our budget in mind when we chose this hotel but we were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the room in this hotel. The manager told us it was remodeled in January and everything we've seen justified it. Funishing and especially the bathroom were of higher standard than Holidy Inns and Best Westerns in the States/Canada. Every staff we've encountered, besides the cleaning lady, spoke excellent English and were very friendly. The location for us was perfect as well. There are two metro stations within 5 minutes of walk and numerous bus stations dot the area. The streets are filled with inexpensive restaurants and cafes and there are two supermarkets within 2 minutes of hotel. Overall, we highly recommend the place. It is an ideal place for travelers seeking cheap yet clean place.

L'hotel n'est pas des plus fameux en arrivant mais les chambres sont impeccables et le service très agréable et effectif. Le petit déj. n'est franchement pas terrible, à éviter. Bonne adresse, pas de doute.

Excellent value for the money, a great hotel with friendly, competent staff and nicely done rooms. Modern furnishing and spacious bathrooms. Centrally located with easy access to the Métro and the RER/Air France buses, so getting to the airport is a cinch. Highly recommended.

Nice rooms and a friendly and helpfull english speaking staff. A short walk to the metro station Edgar Quinet. During the weekends, there is a market near the hotel.

Very accomadating for early arrivals (twice)

This is a very convenient, very comfortable hotel with decent size rooms by Parisian Standards. The best part was how quiet it was! I shared a room with a friend. We had a single bed and a double bed. The bathroom was very nice, but basic with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. With it's convenience to the metro and train station, the quiet, the price and the delicious croissants, I would happily stay here again despite it's lack of charm or romantic location. It has more going for it than many of those types!

Un hotel situé dans un quartier calme, tout près de la station de métro, près du bus, et de bons restaurants japonais.

Hotel perto da estação central de Monteparnasse. Boa localização. Quartos reformados e aconchegantes. Perfeito! Hotel close to Monteparnasse central station. Good location. News Rooms! Perfect!

It was a wonderful location for a short visit to Paris.The metro station was only a few steps away which made my stay a very enjoyable one.I believe it was the most relaxing holiday I have ever had altough I was walking around all day .Thank you for your kindness,gentlemen and ladies at the breakfast lounge.I'll come back soon.(in July I will be visiting my children in Australia and I will be back in September) So, see you in September.So long until then.

No frills, two star hotel. The location is interesting as Montparnasse seems to be more of a place where actual Parisians live. The distance from museums, attractions, etc. was not a problem due to the nearby metro stops (the metro is great--you can take it anywhere you would possibly want to go). Only one member of the staff speaks English, which was a small problem when we were checking out and they had overcharged us by 30 euros (our twin was quoted at 80/night, they charged us 90/night, the rate for a triple during our stay). It was very early in the morning and we had to leave quickly because we were catching a train to Amsterdam so we just paid the extra money and left. Not too big of a deal, but a little annoying. Another problem: we made a reservation for 3 more nights before leaving for Amsterdam and when we returned, the hotel had no record of this. They were able to accomodate us by putting us in a double (one bed) as opposed to the twin we requested previously. Overall, the location is okay as long as you don't mind being slightly off the touristy areas, the bathroom was nice (bath tubs are much better than showers in Europe--no water pressure), but don't expect much from the staff unless you are well versed in French.

We are quite satisfied during our stay in the hotel, the location is excellent as is near to the main metro station and Air France shuttle bus drop off. The hotel surrounding by many variety of restaurant and cafes, is a good place to hang around.My advise to the hotel is if possible they refurbish the staircase and the main entrance apperance that would be better look and comfortable.

The central location of the hotel, so close to the stop for the Air France Coach and the Edgar Quinet metro, was the key advantage of staying at Central. However, after checking in (and they did allow an early check-in at 1100h), we were advised that they were working on the elevators. We were helped to our room with our luggage. However, the elevators were not fixed during our 4-day stay, and with my 60-year old mother we climbed those stairs at least 4 times a day. Our room was on the fourth floor! Due to the elevators not working, every morning we were awaken to additional noise (rooms are not soundproof) as everyone, including ourselves, had to cart our luggage down the stairs. Doing such at 0630h somewhat leaves a bad taste, despite all the positive things noted about the hotel. We had asked for help at the front desk since we had received such upon check-in, but the response to such request was a laugh (not the same person who checked us in). Would we stay at Central again or recommend it, no . . . but at least we were able to see which other Venere hotels were located in the area with the same advantage of location.

Our second stay at Central Hotel Montparnasse proved it once again to be an all round good value no frills 2* hotel. It is very clean and although it does not have a restaurant,it provides an adequate continental breakfast. The hotel is excellently placed for one of Paris's main railway stations at Montparnasse which is less than 5 minutes walk away and is also handy for a number of Metro stations including "Edgar Quinet" which is under two minutes away. All around the hotel are good quality bars, cafes, restaurants and theatres. A street market is also held regularly in the pavements adjacent to Edgar Quinet Metro station.
