My family and I stayed here this past month and the rooms are not the greatest but they are spacious. They could use some updating. The lobby and common areas are nice. The staff is not the nicest but people were pretty much the same everywhere we went. There is a small market next to the hotel which is a big plus if you are traveling wilth small children like we did. We liked the city so much that by the end of our stay we didn't care about the rude parisians, the orange bathroom or the worn out carpet! have fun and enjoy the city.

This hotel makes a very good base for seeing Paris. It's located across the street fro Gare Montparnasse and a Metro station. The Airport shuttle service stops across the street. The staff was very helpful and the room was quite comfortable.

The La Meridien met or exceeded all of our expectations. The location was very convenient with the Metro being across the street and the bus just within a couple blocks. Everything in Paris is close by compared to California. The hotel staff was very friendly and always willing to help. The room with two double beds was very comfortable and quiet.. The bathroom was not large but had a great bathtub for soaking after a long day on our feet. There are many eating establishments nearby and convenience markets also for minor necessities. We are already planning our return trip. Rod & Mercy Southern California

I stayed at Le Meridien for a week with a friend. We were happy with the room (comfortable, large, clean) and the staff were very helpful. The bathroom was clean, lots of hot water. Housekeeping staff did a great job of cleaning up after us. There was a mini-bar in the room which we used to refrigerate the water, juice and foods we bought at the nearby Monoprix store (Rue du Depart). Don't drink at the hotel bar (15 E for a cocktail !). There's free safe deposit boxes at the front desk and free in-room safes. No reason to eat in the overpriced hotel restaurant, there's lots of great cafes in the area; avoid the restaurants next to the hotel, they're tourist traps. We especially liked "The Blue Buoi" cafe on the Blvd de Vaugirard (on the opposite side of the Montparnasse train station). The Metro station is across the street in the Gare Montparnasse and it connects three Metro lines which will take you just about anywhere you want to go. The Air France airport shuttle (22 E round trip) stops directly across the street from Le Meridien. Trust me, it's the fastest and most convenient way to get from CDG to the hotel after a long flight. Le Meridien was a great hotel for us because of its location to the Metro and because it wasn't in a heavy "tourist" area. The hotel was full of Japanese and North American tour groups but since we didn't eat there, it wasn't a problem. This hotel would be good for families (get connecting rooms) and anyone who isn't expecting a luxury hotel. I've stayed at other Starwood Hotels (Westin and Sheratin) and Le Meridien is only a 2 star hotel (not a 4 star as advertised).

My wife and I were spending a week in Paris. We had a superb stay at this hotel. The rooms were nice ? good size and clean, a little worn ? but clean and tidy. The room service was excellent. Most of the staff was very helpful, all the staff spoke English and if they could not say something / understand something they made every effort to help.
The only problem was location. The hotel is not a walking distance from any of the popular tourist destinations; you can barely see any of major attractions from any of the rooms ? even the ones that are high up. However the area itself was not bad, a few blocks away there was a circle with movie theaters and restaurants/shops that were open 24 hrs a day. To get to just about anywhere - you could walk to a metro in 3-5 mins, bus stops were 3-5 mins walk and a cab ride to most of the major tourist attractions was 9-12 euros (12/07). We never felt unsafe in the vicinity of the hotel at any time day/night.
All things considered, I would definitely recommend this hotel.
