Cozy rooms with comfortable beds and flat-screen TVs
Close to the Gare Montparnasse train station and numerous restaurants
Continental and cooked breakfast
Free coffee and tea available all day
Honesty bar in a small lounge area
Standard rooms and bathrooms are tiny
Situated on an otherwise charmless street
Few on-site amenities; no full restaurant or gym
Just a short walk from the Gare Montparnasse train station, the Lenox Montparnasse is a smallish hotel with very few on-site amenities, but multiple guests have raved that staff works hard to help with any needs and to offer suggestions. There are three categories of room: Junior Suites, Club Rooms, and Classic Rooms. All feature fresh, if somewhat bland, decor and flat-screen TVs, but Classic Rooms in particular are tiny and bathrooms are a bit dated. This hotel's proximity to several metro/subway lines makes it a practical starting point for visiting the capital's monuments and main tourist attractions.
Scene
Boutique property attracts budget-minded couples
The Lenox Montparnasse is situated in an attractive building with typical 19th-century architecture. Once through the automatic entrance doors you find yourself facing a plush, red velvet reception area which itself opens onto a comfortable bar decorated with photographs of famous French artists and writers. Considering the tiny size of the rooms and the lack of on-site amenities, it's not surprising that this hotel largely attracts budget-minded couples who appreciate its location within walking distance of public transportation.
Location
Well situated next to the Gare Montparnasse train station
This hotel is located on an otherwise nondescript street near the Montparnasse Cemetery and Luxembourg Gardens. Although there is no on-site restaurant, guests can find a wide range of places to eat in the immediate vicinity including well-known restaurants such as La Coupole and Le Select. The Montparnasse quarter is home to a lot of theaters, most of which are situated on or around the nearby Rue de la Gaité. The hotel is also close to several metro/subway lines of which Line 4 is at about three minutes walk, which means that most of the famous monuments and tourist attractions are no more than a 20-minute metro ride away.
Rooms
Standard rooms are up-to-date but tiny
There are three categories of room available, from the comfortable and tastefully decorated Junior Suite to the standard Classic rooms (which are tiny). Junior and Club rooms have all the comforts you'd expect from a hotel in this category; from refined decor including antique furniture and works of art, to Nespresso coffeemakers. As Classic rooms are only slightly less expensive than those in higher categories, it's worth considering an upgrade.
