We had two adjoining rooms which was very convenient for a family of four.

The Hotel is located in Avery good restaurant area, when doing reservations you may include a room with AC. Otherwise you are not going to sleep well in the Summer.

Hotel Central was a very well situated hotel in the heart of the Cafe/Restaurant/Theatre area of Montparnasse with easy access to close by Metro stations of 'Edgar Quinet', 'Montparnasse' and others.
A 50 minute taxi ride from Charles De Gaulle airport the hotel provides good clean basic accomodation. The staff and management are welcoming, friendly and helpful when needed.
A good local style fresh breakfast is available but eating and drinking are left mostly to the plethora of nearby Cafes.
The hotel is situated in a buzzing Paris suburb and is a good convenient springboard for visiting all the sites Paris has to offer.
Don't expect massive lounges, bars or frills in the hotel. Do enjoy its simplicity.

Friendly staff. Great location close to everything. Rooms are small. WiFi connectivity was really bad and caused me to use all of my phone data while there. Breakfast is 10 euros a day which is pricey for what you get. No air conditioning control so you have to open the window if you get hot. Shower water pressure and heat could be better. Overall nice hotel for the price and location but could be better. The staff definitely make the place!

Great location, woth Metro one block away. Very quaint, good service and a sufficient breakfast available for extra $10.00. Although very basic. Great coffee and good Crossants.

Great staff, location and property. The Central Hotel is a hidden gem. Literally steps from 3 different train stations and the main station (Gare Montparnasse) that has trains to Versailles and Mont St.Michel saved us hours and money in city traveling. Lively neighborhood that had restaurants open at 2 am but still quiet in the rooms. The staff was helpful and courteous - Jerome, Abdy and others (sorry don't have all names) at the front desk and of course Winnie from the breakfast room who was super helpful. The family double rooms we took were excellent as we got 2 large beds with 2 bathrooms for 4 of us, which made getting ready easy. We were traveling with another family and the front staff let us use the breakfast room in the evenings (when it was empty) to sit together and chat which made the week long stay more memorable.

Convenient and Cozy Hotel

Central Hotel is exactly that ... perfectly central to getting around Paris via the Metro. A short walk to the main station (Montparnasse – Bienvenüe) and you're on your way! They were very helpful when asking for assistance. We jumped to Belgium (Bruges) for one night and were able to leave our things at the hotel in the Secured Storage area. We did checkout and back in to save a few extra dollars.

The rooms on the 2nd visit were a little snug, but manageable. One of our rooms the heater stopped working, so there was one cold night. We were on the same floor, just on the opposite side of the building.

The Wifi started having some issues on the last day, but was very reliable for the majority of the trip.

The Carrefore (super market) was also close by and had fresh baguette daily.
Made myself a few nice sandwiches to take on my trips.

For the price and location I would definitely go back to Central Hotel Paris.

Loud room with moldy bathroom

I was disappointed by the Central Hotel, despite its convenient location near Montparnasse Tower. The photos online did not match the reality. Perhaps that was what it looked like immediately after a renovation. My single room had no decorations and was as warmly appointed as a dorm room. The bed was comfortable, but the room was stuffy and warm. Luckily I was on the courtyard side, so it was mostly quiet enough to leave the window open. However, most of the noise came from the hallway of the hotel. The doors let in all of the sound of people coming and going, so it was difficult to sleep until most had settled in. The worst for me was the mold-covered shower. There was basically no ventilation in the bathroom and I could hear the toilet dripping from the bed with the door closed. I didn't try the breakfast, since there were so many bakeries in the area.

Central tour eifel hotel

We changed to this hotel after being a lot cheaper upon arrival the hotel looks very small but very modern reception area. Greeted by a fantastic receptionist who went out his way to show us a map of Paris and talk is through everything. The room was the cleanest hotel room iv ever stayed in with all the essentials(TV etc). Our closed were creased so we asked for an iron which the didn't really have but told us to follow them and let us use what they did have.. The French cleaner was lovely although couldn't speak English was very helpful and showed me where the lift was and helped with the iron bless her. Location wise it is pretty much spot on not too close to all the main architecture but close enough for maybe a 5 minute tube. The tube is probably less than a one minute walk which was fantastic for us and there was a few nice restaurants around for breakfast and drinks. Supermarket just over the road. If your looking for a good stay this is the place to go..

Thank God for the location.

****This hotel is nothing like the pictures at all ****

Pro: Location is perfect. Is near the metro station and the Montparnasse tower. There is a supermarket across the park. And there are lots of dining options near.
The best pro is the staff. They are possibly the best resource this hotel has.

Cons: the hotel structure. From outside you'd think it was abandoned or something. The rooms where small even by Paris standards (I have been there twice before) the room looked stingy and a bit dirty. The bathroom is very old. THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONER IN THE ROOM. Luckily for us it was cold enough to sleep with the windows open. But that meant all of the noise got in the room which meant waking up a lot in the night. But we managed.
This hotel isn't worth the amount we paid for it. I wouldn't have minded all of the kinks at a lower price point. And of course factual pictures.

Nice Hotel. Fair price. Needs to be modernized. It s common to have this type of hotel in Paris, but it looks like a hotel from the 90s.
Despite that, it is a good choice. Easy reach, just around the corner from Montparnasse.
