HOTEL MAYET

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. There are many hotels around the Montparnasse area, many of them quite basic and barely tolerable. I have stayed in many. The Mayet stands out. I liked the room, and its style. You felt the extra effort. Comfortable, and not far from the train station (12 minute walk).

Me and my husband stayed for one night at Hotel Mayet. The hotel itself is very small however has everything you need for a base for exploring the city. Very clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location, only 5-10 minutes walk from metro station and local amenities. The bakery in the street had the nicest cakes! Our only regret is that we didn't have longer to explore Paris! Would stay here again as cheap and cheerful and had everything we needed!

Hotel Mayet was a lovely hotel with extremely friendly staff. A little small but that is the Paris norm. The manager Alex and a staff member Guru were very friendly throughout our stay. Guru stayed on the phone for around an hour at 11:30 pm on a Sunday trying to order a pizza for us due to a poorly timed Eiffel Tower visit. An excellent location with a 3 minute walk to the closest Metro station Duroc; great as the Metro and Bus is the best way to get around to mostly all Landmarks. Also a 2 minute walk to to closest mini-supermarket. The rooms were cleaned thoroughly every day and also a pair or ear rings were handed back to my girlfriend after she had forgotten them after checkout. All in all, an excellent choice for our hotel!

We were in room 21 on 2nd floor. It was really really tiny. We did not mind as the view of the street was quite lovely. So we just stuck around there. But there was no space to open the suitcases. On opening the suitcases, there was no place to walk. We were on 12 days trip so had two bags. The location was quite good. 2 mins from Rue Sevres and Montparnasse - full of all kinds of restaurants and shopping. The metro station Duroc, is just opposite the hotel. The bus stands are nearby too. Just take a map and google. Very easy to commute by public transport rather than the crazy expensive private taxis. Wi fi works perfectly. Daily cleaning. Very clean hotel otherwise. There is a TV and AC. The shower would not fit a heavy 6 footer. Please check carefully what room they give you. If possible, check beforehand. Our room rate did not include breakfast. But there are dozens of Parisian cafes right outside. All cuisines available- french, patisserie, south eat asian - of all kinds, Mediterranean, Indian in restaurants within 5-10 mins walking. Avoid Pizza Pino. Worst pizza place. You can pay extra for the breakfast at hotel as well. Which seemed simple to me. There is no restaurant in the hotel. They have a lift which we found quite uncommon in other Paris hotels of similar budget. It was totally worth it from a budget point of view. There are lovely shopping arcades nearby. Sevres and Montparnasse are quite happening. And all touristy attractions are around 20 minutes. We saw the Eiffel fireworks from the main street across the hotel. See pics below. There is a mini fridge and kettle. We left our keys at the reception every time we stepped out and it was all safe. The front office manager changes almost everyday. We met 4 different managers in 5 days. And they were all equally nice to us. The bathrooms are spotless. It's a new hotel so very clean. Bad - the mattress wasn't good at all. The spring hurt my back and I couldn't get proper sleep.

Small room but looks like that's the standard for Paris. Even though small the rooms were very comfortable, modern, clean and tastefully decorated. Loved the breakfast. Might be a small detail but loved the shower. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel had brochures and maps which were very useful to get around the city. Overall enjoyed my stay at Paris. Would definitely come here again.
