beautiful hotel, from the inside and outside.
Very large hotel, very crowded, but the staff remains attentive and helpful to customers.
Convenient access to the hotel from the parking lot of the Montparnasse train station by private elevator.
Through the "private travel" economy on the room rates, we allowed ourselves to enjoy the bar and restaurant, both very good.
We will recommend this hotel to our surroundings for a stay in Paris
