It's clean and close to the metro. Beds are comfy and the coffee is good. I thought the breakfast was fine. Way better than American hotels!! I need to ask the mans name at the front desk. He has been great! Friendly and helpful. The woman at the front desks- not so much. She gave us terrible metro directions to out Siene tour and she was snotty to my son when i went to get a cup of espresso- we here for a week. Opted for no room service but they came in anyway- despite the do not disturb sign. I highly recommend checking out the little jazz bar down the street. Good food/wine and the guy who works there is named Smile. Highly recommend this place

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience so that future…read moretravelers can make an informed decision when choosing accommodations. Our room was located directly across from the elevator, and throughout the night we were repeatedly disturbed by the constant flow of guests coming and going. While the noise was certainly disruptive, the most significant issue was the complete failure of the air conditioning. The room remained at approximately 30°C (86°F), making restful sleep nearly impossible. After our first sleepless night, we promptly reported the problem. We were assured on multiple occasions that the issue had been resolved, yet the air conditioning never functioned properly. Over the course of our stay, several fans were provided as a temporary solution; none were effective, and one was, in fact, a heater. Each day, after spending hours exploring Paris, we looked forward to returning to the hotel to rest and recharge. Instead, we faced another night of excessive heat, constant noise, and interrupted sleep. What made the situation particularly disappointing was the hotel's handling of the issue. Rather than relocating us to a room with functioning air conditioning, we were repeatedly told that the problem had been fixed when it had not. This pattern continued for entirety of our stay. We even witnessed another guest reporting the same air-conditioning problem. By the end of our trip, the cumulative exhaustion had significantly diminished our overall experience in Paris. While the manager offered a 10% discount, the issue was never simply about compensation. No refund can restore the sleep lost, the discomfort endured, or the frustration caused by a problem that was never meaningfully addressed. A hotel's most fundamental responsibility is to provide its guests with a comfortable place to rest. Unfortunately, this property failed to meet that basic expectation. As a result, I cannot recommend it and would not choose to stay here again.

Room 4 to be exact. It was more than large enough for the two of us, with a large bathroom, and a separate toilet area. The closet was roomy and included an in room safe. The bed and pillows were excellent! Truly a departure from the standard lumpy mattress and pillows that are void of any fill and leave you with a stiff neck in the morning. The staff was more than accommodating. Spoke perfect English and was helpful every step of the way. Hotel wifi was strong and never once gave us any problems. In the lobby is a Nespresso coffee maker, and a honor bar. We love the Montparnasse area. It's full of wonderful history, restaurants, bistros, creperies, and 3 more than accessible metro stops, Vavin (#4) , Notre Dame de Champs (#12), and Edgar Quinet very close to the hotel. The hotel is modern, clean, updated and we highly recommend it! They do offer breakfast daily, but we did not take advantage of it choosing to grab a quick coffee and croissant on our daily travels. There is no doubt we would stay here again on a return trip to Paris.

We paid over $500 to hold a room several months before our scheduled arrival. We cancelled the cruise and Paris stay due to the Corona virus. We are both "elderly" and one of us has a condition making us more vulnerable to the virus. The hotel has refused our request for a reimbursement, but have offered to give us a voucher for a room first until August, and then extended to the end of the year. With the current state of the world and the virus we have no idea if and when we'll feel safe to travel abroad and wish to get our money back. Incidentally, the hotel returned the prepayment to the couple we were planning to travel with. Also note that another hotel in Spain that we were booked into immediately agreed to give us a full refund. This may be a nice hotel. But given their response in this time I'd find it hard to recommend them.

Small, very clean rooms, we got two rooms for our family at almost the same price as a "quad" elsewhere. Tiny bathrooms, the obese should not stay here. The location is not where most choose to stay but is a perfectly nice, safe neighborhood away from the hub-bub and just a block from metro 6, 8 and 10. You can get anywhere in Paris in 15 -30 minutes. Walked to Passy, River Seine, Eiffel Tower, Invalides, Montparnasse. Rooms look just like the photos on the website, compact, tiny even, but with big windows, free wifi, mini-bar fridge, little flat screen tv and breakfast brought to the room. A hidden gem. No central air conditioning however, just a fan, and Paris can get very hot. Also before arrival their email correspondence, reconfirmation, assurances etc were topnotch. Just remember, it's a budget hotel....don't expect too much. If you can find a good price by booking directly on their website, they include the breakfast in the rate. saphirhotel.fr/

We were messed up so we needed a room bad. they do have an option to pay more but it is not guaranteed because sometimes there are days when rooms are fully booked. Also, they had an odd habit of opening your door without knocking. luckily nothing bad/private was going on but the staff thought we werent checked out (when we in fact just checked in). Twice they came in with their own key and opened our door at separate times. i am not holding this against them because nothing felt invaded on my part and could be a one off or a boutique thing, who knows. However if this happened to me at a Marriott or Hilton - corporate will hear it from me big time. Excellent service and a special mention for Nada - who was very professional, helpful, kind and communicated very clearly. Nada works specific shifts and we were glad to have met her during our check in. We appreciate her consistent follow through and helping us throughout the process of our stay. For larger families, rooms can feel tight. Paris is limited in offering large hotel rooms for big groups. However, we made due with Novotel and it worked out. The main highlight was the breakfast buffet. Holy smokes - this is probably one of the best offerings in almost any hotel we've ever stayed at. While observing, there were a large # of staff working the breakfast periods - from the kitchen, to waiting, and on top of the host, who was also multi-tasking. This is a very organized crew - which is leading me to commend management for having this remarkable set up and excellent staffing! I did not even get to the food, as yet. The buffet was a full-scale and thorough line up - and even a station for gluten-free options. Wow! The bread station was the most popular, and the varieties seemed endless. After breakfast, the adjacent cafe next door was very convenient for all other basic foods. Vaugirard is one of the safest locations in Paris - THAT is recorded in the reported statistics and overall feedback on the internet. However, it is always recommended to stay alert no matter where you go. Awareness is key. I already reported to management of our near encounter with some bad people right outside the hotel (approx 8pm).

They immediately offered us a fan which we took to the room and turned on facing the bed and had to leave the windows open at night so we didn't sweat. We had wonderful drinks at the bar in the lobby as well as appetizers. The breakfast buffet in the morning was delicious and plentiful. All in all, it ended up being a nice experience, but please do expect to sweat during the hotter months if you stay.
