HOTEL LA PERLE MONTPARNASSE, Paris

The hotel sits on a quiet street in the lively Montparnasse district, with the Gaîté metro station (Line 13) just a few minutes' walk away, providing direct links across central Paris. Gare Montparnasse is about 10 minutes on foot, giving access to regional and TGV trains as well as OrlyBus services. The neighbourhood is packed with restaurants, bars, bakeries and supermarkets within a 3-minute radius, making self-catering and dining out very convenient. Key landmarks such as the Montparnasse Cemetery (230 m), Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre (3 km), Orsay Museum (3 km) and Notre Dame (3 km) are all easily reachable by foot or metro. Charles de Gaulle Airport is 25 km away; a taxi can be arranged at reception.

Rooms are generally compact, with some described as very small, particularly the internal courtyard-facing ones which have limited natural light and no opening window to the outside. Street-facing rooms typically have better light and ventilation. All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a desk, and a private bathroom with shower (some with bath) and hairdryer. Flooring is parquet. Rooms may be single, double, twin or triple (one double bed + one single, or three singles). Internal noise transfer is noticeable due to thin walls, so light sleepers may wish to bring earplugs. There is no lift, and some rooms are reached via a narrow spiral staircase. Daily housekeeping is included. No safety box, no balcony, no in-room coffee/tea making facilities.

A continental buffet breakfast is available every morning for an additional 14 EUR per person, offering breads, pastries, cheese, yoghurt, fruit, juice, and quality coffee. No hot food is served. The hotel does not have its own restaurant or bar, but the surrounding Montparnasse streets are filled with a wide range of restaurants, crêperies, brasseries, and international cuisine - all within a 1- to 3-minute walk. For late-night thirst or snacks, a bakery and supermarkets are also nearby. Breakfast is a good option for a quick start, but those wanting a full hot meal may prefer the neighbourhood cafes.

The hotel operates a 24-hour front desk, which facilitates late check-in and early departures. Daily housekeeping is provided, and luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures. Express check-in/check-out can be arranged. A paid shuttle service can be booked via the reception for airport transfers, though it is not a dedicated hotel shuttle. Free Wi-Fi is available in rooms, though connection stability can vary. Safety deposit boxes are not provided in rooms, but a safety deposit box is available at reception. No on-site parking exists, but a public car park is a 3-minute walk away (approx. 20 EUR/24h). Bicycle storage is not available. A scale for weighing luggage is available at reception. The property is non-smoking throughout.
