Hôtel Jardin le Bréa, Paris

We ended up not staying at this property, since we needed a triple room, and the renovation of the room was not complete by the time we came to stay. However, they had made arrangements for us to stay at a comparable hotel just a block away. They had everything ready for us to make the change to the other hotel, and our check-in there went very smoothly.

We could not have enjoyed our 4-day stay more than in this great little hotel. Friendly and knowledgeable staff (e.g., how to get straight to the Opera Bastille by bus instead cumbersome by metro), easy check- in and check-out, a lovely modernized room which is totally quiet, plus an amazing location - next to 3 subway lines, and situated in the famous Montparnasse district. Surrounded by French bakeries and famous restaurants and bars, we would always come back for our next holidays.

This hotel has an excellent location and a wonderful staff, is close to good restaurants and cafes and within walking distance of many Left Bank attractions. The desk staff, Stephanie and Gaelle, were particularly knowledgeable about restaurants, museums, metro routes, etc.; they made helpful suggestions and readily arranged for restaurant, museum and taxi reservations. The public rooms are well decorated and maintained and have nice touches such as a free Nespresso machine for guests' use and a wealth of Paris travel books to view. The hotel reservations people were very helpful in choosing the perfect room for us that met our mobility limitations. Our charming room was small, as is the case in most reasonably priced Paris hotels, but it was well arranged with ample storage space.

We had 2 flights of stairs to content with (think luggage), 1 usable power outlet, tiny bathroom with shower in desperate need of overhaul

Great place to stay in Paris-- close to lots of good places to eat and convenient to many sights-- either by walking or a cheap taxi/uber ride. Room was small but as expected, perfect for a couple of friends on vacation or a couple. Elevator was tiny--but worked fine. We used the stairs except for when we had luggage. Only did breakfast one day and was fine-- for the money you could probably find a better breakfast within a block-- but was very convenient on our last day before heading to the airport. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was surprisingly spacious and updated-- good shower! Air conditioning worked very well! The staff was great-- willing to help us arrange transportation, provide directions and recommendations for dinner etc. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good lower cost option without sacrificing location or cleanliness and service!
