Hotel Berkeley

What was good

The hotel is well and centrally located. Close to 3 metro stops. (Station: Montparnasse a stone's throw from the hotel, Station: Vavin 6 min walk) Restaurants and cafes can be found in its immediate vicinity, with a wide variety of choices and price ranges. The Eiffel Tower is about a 40-minute walk away, or with the metro just a few minutes away. The sign of the hotel is high up on the facade, and the entrance is a little invisible on the side. Next to the hotel is one of the largest malls and the large lookout tower in Montparnasse, which makes it easy to have as a reference when you are out and about. Image, view from the hotel window. Although the hotel is centrally located, at a major road intersection, it was not as noisy as I thought. OK.

What was bad

The room was small, and had too few storage options. Wardrobe with some hangers available, safety deposit box available. Missing shelves to put the clothes on. There was TV, a small fridge with space for water and eg fruit and a desk. Curtains and lamps were a little dusty, and there were some stains on the material choices they had for the room. But the bed was soft and comfortable, bed linen, towels and bathroom were clean. A little dusty vent for the ventilation, but the AC worked. The window could be opened, for air. They were helpful at the reception, but had a little difficulty with English. So even though at first it felt a little small, or worn, it was outweighed by the proximity to everything, the food and the people.
