Room was very dark, to the point I requested an additional light to be put in. Also the shower didn't work, and there was very little hot water (less than 3 mins worth) and although they offered to let me switch rooms, the rooms I could switch to were much smaller and the same price, which didn't seem right. In the end they gave me a discount, which I appreciate - but both these issues led to a very lower score than I'd give otherwise. Beyond that, the room I booked was large (by Paris standards) and well appointed, and right by the metro for convenience. Not a lot going on the neighborhood though, and a bit of a walk to most places. So overall a mixed bag, but generally good value for the price -- shower and darkness notwithstanding.
One other thing: lots of spare blankets, so I liked that I didn't have to ask, as I'm cold usually. Towels were also in good supply. Bed was comfy, but pillows were terrible. I'd suggest (if anyone reads these) to get softer pillows, as the ones they had gave me neck/ back pain.

When I booked, I requested a quiet room and when I checked in they said they gave me one. However the room opened onto the lobby and anyone talking in the lobby or the hotel desk phone ringing gave noise heard in my room. They said no other room was available. Other than the noise, the room was good.

Nice location

The floor we were assigned had an awful smell. Luckiliy we were able to change it but not until the next night as we were told all the rooms were taken. We had to open the windows wide and stop the fan because it was seeping through the vent. Although we got a different floor, it was a smaller room and we had to share a double bed instead of two twins which were what we booked. I would have given it a 5 star otherwise.

Great area and the hotel was really close to a metro station, so travelling to other destinations all over Paris was easy.

The neighbourhood retains a village feel about it, especially when you head off of the main road. Sadly France is now going down the same route as the UK with their shopping malls - all the same shops, but there were some delightful independent shops with impeccable service.

Sone lovely bars and restaurants, and I would definitely recommend Brasserie Zeyer, built in 1913, which has a beautiful ceiling, good quality food and excellent service.

The staff at the hotel were lovely, very friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is in a quiet street. The rooms are the worst thing!

We paid for a superior room but it was definitely not that. It was on the top floor and although it was reasonably spacious for a Parisien hotel room, the bathroom facilities were atrocious. The bath only had a hand held shower attachment - no taps. There was no shower curtain either, resulting in water going everywhere.The hand basin was a stand-alone contraption and the tap was like a shower one, except that it did not move and only delivered cold water.
We complained on our second day at the hotel and were told that we could change our room, which we did on the third day. The new room did at least have a proper shower and a functioning hand basin t

Hit or Miss

We were assigned two double rooms that were significantly different in quality. One was extremely tiny with red painted walls and the other was a pleasant, more spacious loft on the top floor. When I complained of the disparity, they thankfully gave us a bigger room. Note that some of the rooms only have bathtubs with handheld shower. So tell them you need full shower if this would be a problem. The water for showers started out hot and quickly went cold. We were told it was a surge of guest usage, but this happened every shower, day and night, for 7 days. The hotel needs to monitor smoking more. One floor (4) had a definite smoke smell and the neighbors were smoking. Wifi was spotty. That said, all rooms and bathrooms were clean and new. The beds were comfortable. Each room had a mini-fridge. Two receptionists made an error on my bill and I was surprised with a significant extra charge at checkout. The billing breakdown seemed to verify this, but how could two separate people make such a mistake?! Hotel is in a good location near a metro station. All in all, this hotel can be a hit or miss. You may get a pleasant, spacious room or a tiny dark one. You may get competent reception or not, you may get a fresh or smoky smell. You may have strong wifi or weak. You may have a tub or shower, hot water or cold. You may do worse in Paris…. but you may do better.

Great stay

Our stay at Hotel Sophie Germain had been such a wonderful stay. The receptionist at the front, Josephine, was absolutely amazing! She was super helpful and really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Our only issue was with the rooms and bathrooms being a bit small and the fact that it had smelt like cigarettes, including the towels. Other than that, we were pretty comfortable. The service we received was phenomenal. We also weren’t too far from the main city of Paris. It was about a fifteen minute Uber drive to the Eiffel Tower. By walking distance we were right by a whole bunch of cafes and a little mini mart.

Excellent hotel

The entire staff was so gracious and helpful. Clean hotel, comfortable beds, good bathroom and shower and breakfast was perfect for beginning your day. Even though it was late when we checked in - 930pm, the gentleman working the desk the first night made a call to a local restaurant asking them if they could serve us dinner. They accommodated us and great dinner. Sophie, one of the hotel reps always greeted us warmly every time we saw her and she was kind enough to call several local taxi services when we checked out as Uber wanted 100 euros for the trip to the airport. She found us a taxi- van for 4 people and a bunch of luggage- for 62 euros. Bus and metro train very close and cheap to travel around Paris. Also, many cafes to choose from within 10 minute walk.

Lovely, clean hotel in Montparnasse

We loved The Hotel Sophie Germain in Montparnasse! We had a very cute room on the 6th floor, with a tiny balcony on one side, and a view over the rooftops of Paris on the other side. Everything was squeaky clean. There was a nice soaking tub, comfy bed, refrigerator, desk, decent wifi, and plenty of room to hang your clothes. The staff at the front desk was very friendly. Only thing to be aware of is that the elevator is TINY. It just fits two people, but if you have big suitcases you might have to take multiple trips. We did not try the hotel breakfast because there are excellent bakeries and cafés all around the neighborhood. There's also a good supermarket (Monoprix) nearby. We picked this hotel because it is so close to the Orlybus stop at Denfert-Rochereau.

Lovely, comfortable hotel with very helpful staff

We stayed a the Sophie Germain for an extended weekend and despite being frequent travellers to Paris, this was the first time we stayed in the Montparnasse area. The area itself and hotel are lovely and it's very comparable to a more expensive hotel we had stayed at in the Madeleine area. The beauty is that the Mouton-Duvernet metro stop is only a few metres from the hotel so it's very easy to come and go (the only downside here is that you are about 10-15mins by metro away from the seine/louvre or marais area if that's your thing)

The staff are very helpful, they allowed us to check in early, leave baggage at reception for the last day, my wife was workign in the room one of the days so they cleaning time was flexible etc. Really cannot complain there. The room was freshly renovated and felt very new and clean and on the whole a bit larger than average.

I strongly recommend the Sophie Germain - it's an excellent hotel, and when you also factor in the price it's becomes even more attractive

Nice neighborhood/convenient location

Hotel Sophie Germain ended up being a very good choice for 6 nights in Paris. Located in Montparnasse, it is within 1 minute walk of a regular Metro stop and a 3-minute walk of a larger Metro stop with access to OrlyBus and RER Metro for airport transfers. Also within 3-minute walk of Monoprix grocery store and Rue Daguerre food markets/pedestrian street. Hotel room also has kettle, tea, instant coffee, etc and good Wi-Fi. We had two different rooms as we had two legs of our stay - both rooms were small but clean and well-appointed, though the first room was obviously renovated earlier and had a slightly worn carpet and a little musty smell initially, which dissipated. First room was 3rd floor and had a stylish bathroom with nice finishings but the bathroom was very small (e.g. if you were tall, knees would hit the wall while sitting on toilet). The second room (on the first floor) was quite lovely, with just a little more space in the room overall and a totally normal-sized bathroom. Both rooms faced the street as they were twin rooms, and twin rooms were only available on the front of the hotel. We had quite a bit of a noise for the first few days of our stay, as there was construction happening at the Pizza Hut nearby but by our last night's stay on the 1st floor had no street noise at all. As for noise within the hotel, there seem to be only a few units on each floor, and while you can occasionally hear other guests, it is well within reason. Would stay again.

Clean, friendly but noisy

The room is very nice itself, enough space for luggages and stuff for our twin room. The room is tidy and clean and was a comfortable stay, but the sound-proof is terrible especially at all time we could hear people closing doors, talking next door and of course when the staff is cleaning the other rooms with vacuum machines.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful,they are very happy to share recommendation of restaurants nearby to the hotel. The hotel itself is situated at a very good location, just 2 mins away by walk, its the shopping and dining area. Feeling good and safe at this hotel.

Good location and renovated

Good location, renovated and clean. Room small but OK, shower room very cosy indeed but suffices for short stay. Plenty of power points and a/c, essential for the summer months. TV only has French channels. Very handy for metro and RER. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Not cheap but reasonable by Paris standards.

Clean hotel

Main reason to recommend this hotel is the cleanliness. However, the room is so small. Info said that they have tours info, but they don't. They don't sell tickets anymore.

Fun area to explore and close to the Metro

Very welcoming, polite staff. The hotel was being repainted so scaffolding and paint buckets, but what had been painted looked great. Our room was quite comfortable, and it was very fun to walk on Rue Daguerre which is a short walk away.

Under Renovation

I have stayed here many times and it has always been pleasant, hence my willingness to return. Upon arrival I quickly learned that the majority of the property was under renovation which clear compromised the integrity of the hotel. Fire exits were inaccessible due to removed carpet, detritus, and building materials in the stairwells. They should close the entire hotel, renovate, and then re-open or offer a 50% rebate to customers who's stayed during the undisclosed renovation.

Good hotel good price

Had no problems. The location was nice, right next to a metro stop one stop away from a RER station. The room was small as to be expected, but was adequate. Neighborhood was some good restaurants.

Nice location with good comfort

The location was good because the metro station is within 1min walk. Staffs in reception were helpful. The room was clean but the wifi signal is terrible, that kept connecting all the time.

Mixed !!!

Hotel staff very friendly, can't fault them. The main part of the room was great, the bathroom was very tired looking & I didn't have a proper shower, there was no shower curtain, I had to sit in the bath, and use the spray head without trying to get the bathroom soaking wet, the bath isn't full length, so a man may have a problem stretching out fully. The main thing that caused me a problem was the noise, I know most hotels have noise as people arrive & leave at various times, but I was in a room right by reception & could hear everything, for night 2 I went & bought some ear plugs. 3 metro stops very near, less than 5 mins walk to all 3. Line 4 & 6, looks far out on metro map, but isn't really. Mouton Duvernet is across the main road, Alesia to the left, Denfert Rochereau to the right, takes you to Trocadero in about 15 / 20 mins. Just one change on line 4 to get to the Moulin Rouge. The area the hotel is in is more residential, although the main street has lots of branded shops on it Ave du General Leclerc.

Good hotel in Paris near transportation

Good hotel in a good location. Some gripes, shower is too small so it won't fit bigger people. I'm skinny and I barely fit in it. Room is clean and bed was very comfortable. Sometimes it was a big loud at night but I'm a heavy sleeper.
