Hotel Edgar Quinet

Location.

1. The lobby is very small so there is no place for more than two people with their luggage. So the waiting queue is in the street, outside. 2. There is no lift and the stairs are very steep and narrow, almost impossible to carry big luggage on higher floors. 3. We were there with my wife and our two daughters, all carrying heavy luggage. Nobody not even tried to help the lady or the kids. 4. Room was very hot. Impossible to sleep with the window open because the noise on the restaurants on the street. When I've tried another room oriented to the backyard, the opened window let inside all the smells from the kitchen of the restaurant. Even when tried to close the window I couldn't stop the noise or the smell because of the poor quality of the window. 5. The cleaning was superficially, looked clean but the details were dirty. 6. The furniture is old or need to be repaired, the walls need to be repainted. 7.In conclusion, much worst than a typical parisian hotel (and that is already very bad): indecently expensive and filthy.

The location is fantastic. It is directly at Gare Montparnasse on a place with many restaurants and cafes. Many opportunities. One can reach many places easily, without the rush of the city center. The room and bathroom relatively clean.

The hotel is a little shaby. Its rooms are small and equipped with only the very necessary (bed, chair, table). The bathroom is super small. All furniture worn out a lot appart from bed. No wardrobe. Little to no space in bathroom to leave the toothbrush. Expensive for the facilities. Value for money low.
