Hôtel Odessa Montparnasse

Never book this hotel, why? I gonna tell you every single points coming! 1. Paid tourist taxes during checkin and got a scam when checked out, luckily I communicated with their manager, make sure you keep the receipt and transaction record from your bank/ credit card, so you won’t be scammed. 2. Water suspension & Water pressure is not enough If you want to terrify yourself when you are catching the flight in the morning, and during the shower in the morning, water suspended three times. And the water pressure from the tape would be even stronger than the shower… 3. Woke up in 7am even on vacation Their cleaners will wake you up at 7am every single morning by making hard voices of pulling up the vacuum machine up and down, door slammed for uncountable time. 4. The lift was tiny like toy There was barely enough space for one big and one small luggage and a tiny Asian girl. Never visit here if you have more than 1 luggage or you are taller than 164cm. THINK TWICE AND READ MY COMMENTS BEFORE YOY DECIDE TO BOOK YOUR ROOM FROM THIS HOTEL.

We stayed for 3 nights and found the hotel to have a lot of character. It is situated in a fantastic location by metro and region stations. The hotel staff were very friendly, and accommodating. The woman who tidied up our rooms and hotel common areas was very kind and did a great job dusting and keeping our rooms very clean. Each of our rooms had a different configuration - 2 were standard doubles for one person each, and the other was superior double for my husband and I with a larger updated bathroom. The 2 standard doubles were located on the 5th floor and had balconies overlooking the busy streets below. The superior double was on the 6th floor and had a nice view with a window that opened to below without a balcony. We found the rooms to be larger than standard Parisian rooms. Each was very clean, and pleasantly decorated, with comfortable beds. There is a lift that can fit 2 with luggage or 3 without; standard for older European hotels we’ve stayed. We truly enjoyed the location and found we were usually about 15-20 minutes from almost anywhere we wanted to go by metro in Paris! The neighborhood had cafes and lots of activity right outside the door. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay in this quaint boutique hotel!

We found this place where Leo Trosky stayed to be interesting. the location was good with all sorts of cafe's nearby as well as the cemetery where John Paul Satre and Baudelaire are buried, the staff was helpful and there was a convenient store just down the street where we picked up snacks and beer. It is a long way from the airport but not so far from train station. The two-person elevator was tight but no bother for us.
