MONTPARNASSE DAGUERRE, Paris

Rue Daguerre is one of the most characterful streets in the 14th, lined with bakeries, restaurants, independent shops and a daily market. Gaîté Metro (line 13) is a 5-minute walk away, while the larger Montparnasse station (TGV, lines 4, 6, 12, 13) is about 10 minutes on foot. RER B at Denfert-Rochereau (providing direct access to Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports) is a 15-minute walk. Luxembourg Gardens is about 20 minutes on foot, making this a well-connected base for both business travellers needing Porte de Versailles and leisure visitors exploring central Paris. Many travellers find the street feels safe and authentic, with easy access to all types of amenities.

Room categories include Classic Rooms (double or twin beds), Premium Rooms with Jean Cocteau-inspired decor, a Family Room with a queen bed and sofa bed, and single rooms. The Premium rooms and suites were fully renovated in 2020, while some Classic rooms may show an older decor style. Typical double bed sizes include 160x200 cm for Premium and 150x190 cm for Classic; two single beds are 80x190 cm or 90x190 cm. The private bathrooms feature a bathtub or shower, hairdryer and free toiletries. Some rooms have views of the street or an internal courtyard, with the courtyard side being noticeably quieter. Room sizes are on the small side, typical for central Paris, and some bathrooms are compact - the layout may be tight for larger travellers. A few rooms have the sink in the room rather than inside the shower cabin. Rooms are generally clean, with daily housekeeping. Heating, air conditioning and soundproofing are present, though older units may have lower cooling capacity. Iron available at reception on request.

Breakfast includes breads and pastries from the local bakery, a choice of cheeses and charcuterie, jams, fresh fruit and fruit juices. It is available as a buffet in the dining area but can also be served in the room for the same price. The breakfast is generally considered a good-value option for a central Paris hotel, though the selection is continental in style - not a full American hot buffet. For those preferring a lighter morning meal, the hotel lobby has a self-service coffee machine (free for guests, accessible until 15:00). The surrounding Rue Daguerre offers a wide range of restaurants, bakeries and cafés within a two-minute walk, covering French, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, plus a daily food market.

Internet is Wi-Fi only, available throughout the property for free; speeds are stable for general use but may be slower for heavy-duty video conferencing. The 24-hour multilingual reception can assist with booking taxis, providing directions, and arranging a paid drop-off shuttle to the airport (18 EUR per person for two or more, 26 EUR for a solo traveller, from the hotel only). Luggage storage is available free of charge before check-in and after check-out. The hotel has a lounge with newspapers, magazines, a TV, a retro arcade machine, and a coffee machine (free until 15:00). A concierge-style information service is offered - staff are knowledgeable about local restaurants, attractions and transport. A fax/photocopying service is available for a fee. Safety deposit boxes are provided in rooms. There is no on-site parking, but a public car park lies a 5-minute walk away.
