Historical Traveller Reviews of Montalembert Hotel
Good but overpriced
from bcstrachan
Just back from a 3 day stay at the hotel - mixed feelings to be honest about it. Loved the location, but it doesnt stack up with what you can get leswhere in the city for less euros, in equally exciting locations.We paid 450 euro a night (a mistake no doubt on our part).
Rooms are fine, if somewhat small and the bathroom has a tendancy to flood every time you have a shower (its over the bath - a design fault, as all three rooms with our party had the same problem).
All the mod cons are perfectly adequate, we asked for a docking station for the ipod which was a real bonus.
Staff are thoroughly charming, though didn't offer assistance to get to the rooms, or help with luggage. Breakfast is good if pricey, however watch it deosnt start to get to dizzy levels if you are ordering bits and pieces. Stick to the continental for better value.
Our best meal of the whole trip was an un scheduled late afternoon boozy lunch in the little private dining area at the back of the bar - food was fabulous as was the wine.
Have to be honest though, wouldnt go back to the hotel, would sooner try something else for that kind of money.
PS big sour point was the closure of the bar at 12 midnight on a Saturday night - and then staff got out the vacuum out and started cleaning while our party of 8 finished our recently purchased drinks. No explanation, apologies or alternatives. Really not good enough for those prices!!

Great Hotel, Exceptional Service
from WeLuvTravelling
The Hotel Montalembert was our favorite hotel of during our 5 week, 9 city European vacation.
The hotel has a medium sized but beautiful entrance, lobby, and bar. The staff there is amazing, friendly, totally efficient and professional. They made us feel comfortable and really at home. If I ran a company I would have hired any of them. They booked us a table at one of the best restaurants in town with less than 24 hours notice (the conceirge seemed to know several maitre-d's and managers of different restaurants personally). They then printed out a personalized map for us. The map marked the hotel, the restaurant, and several wine bars and other cool bars near our restaurant that "they thought we might like." Amazing!!! Everything we asked about they answered, every wish we might have had they anticipated. We had some dry cleaning done while we were there and marked on the form that we wanted the regular delievery rather than the expess 24 hour delievery that cost 30% more. We called the housekeeping line to pick it up and they must have thought since we were calling that we wanted it done that day. As we were checking out we showed them that the order form had "regular" circled but that they had charged us for (and done it in) 24 hours. They apologized profusely and immediately changed the bill without even a question or hesitation.
The rooms are luxurious though a little tight. The beds are extremely comfortable (if I remember correctly there are down comforters), the bath products are really nice, and there is just a lot of attention to detail. (Things like sewing kits, cotton balls, Q-tips, shoe shine kits, nice hangers, robes, slippers, tasteful art that I would actually have in my own home, complementary bottles of water every night, etc.)The turn down service is incredible. The housekeeping staff slips in and out several times a day to clean and make sure everything you need is taken care of, and yet you NEVER see or hear them.
A really, really, really well done hotel. Exquisite in every detail. It has the charm, neighborhood and friendliness of a boutique hotel with the resources and staffing of a major luxury hotel.
Also, the location cannot be beat.
I will never stay anywhere else in Paris as long as I can afford it! (And probably even when I can't!)

good but for the money should have been better
from A TripAdvisor Member
You can't say enough about the location and the staff were outstanding. The room was on the small side in spite of it being the deluxe unit but it was well appointed and the linens very good. The lobby furnishings needed a sprucing up and the hallways should have been renovated with the rest of the hotel to be consistent. We expected a little better for the money.
Excellent boutique hotel on left bank
from A TripAdvisor Member
This hotel is a must. Its location is fantastic, in the "Chic" Paris. Minutes walking to the Orsay museum and the louvre, fine shopping and good restaurants.
Service is excellent and staff always make you feel welcome.
We had an Ipod in the room with excellent music choice and a Bose sound system. This is unusual and very well appreciated.
Attention to details made our stay at the Montalembert a true great experience in Paris.

Great Location!!
from jcheld
Just got back from the Montalembert. The location can not be beat - between Blvd. St. Germain and the Seine. Within 5 minutes walk to the Louvre and D'Orsay and 10 Minutes to Notre Dame.
The Staff was professional and made some good restaurant reservations. The deluxe rooms (especially the bathrooms) are quite small, though have all the amenities. Typical of European hotels, the baths contain only partial shower curtains, so it's a real test keeping the bathroom floor from flooding.
All in all, if you don't care about having an oversized room, and you love the left bank, this is a good place to stay!

Wonderful location, glad we stayed here!
from edin_travels
Just returned from a great 4 nights in Paris at the Montalembert, based on a lot of research using Trip Advisor!
The hotel could not be located in a better area. It's close (i.e walkable distance) to everything you'd want to see (Louvre, d'Orsay, Notre Dame, Latin Quarter, Right Bank etc), but not in the middle of the major tourist trap areas - you won't see busloads of fanny-packers pulling up outside.
The Montalembert has a very modern feel but is not so austere that you don't feel the Parisian vibe (we had one of the Classic rooms which is hybrid old/new style). It was also very clean - they vacuumed under the nightstands/bed etc every day, and had nice Frette sheets, towels and robes.
One downside was the very small bed, although some of the rooms have queens so you could probably request one when you book.
The staff made excellent restaurant reservations for us, and were extremely friendly and helpful at all times without being obtrusive. Despite the fact we prepaid at a discount rate, they happily accommodated my request for an early check in so I could nap after a long flight.
We didn't eat at the hotel, but there are lots of great patisseries, bistros, restaurants within walking distance. The staff also made an excellent restaurant reservation for us.
Even if you don't stay at this hotel, I'd thoroughly recommend the St Germain area as a base – it’s chic, lively and relaxed all at the same time. The Hotel Pont Royal was right next door and looked nice - had a really cool bar/restaurant, also the Hotel l'Abbaye and Bel Ami were both in the St Germain area and had great locations also - close to everything but away from the really noisy, dirty areas so you can return to a chic Paris after a day of sightseeing!

Wonderful staff, mediocre rooms
from A TripAdvisor Member
The staff at the hotel was all extraordinarily helpful. The seating outside was a nice place to have a glass of wine without being bombarded by traffic. The hotel was very conveniently located to almost everything in Paris. We walked everywhere.
The rooms were sub-standard. Upon reading other reviews about the small room sizes, we reserved a deluxe room which was still very small. The first room we were given had a small queen bed with a head and foot board which my 6'4" husband could not fit into. They very nicely switched our room to the modern style. This room had two twin beds pushed together (Europeans are notorious for this as well as having sub-standard mattresses which was also the case). The bathrooms were very pretty, but small.
Being a New Yorker we are used to having dining tables close together. We were disappointed with the continental breakfast, and saw a very large mouse running around the dining room.
Although the service was excellent, we probably wouldn't stay there again.

Friendliest staff in any of our hotels in all of Europe.
from teaforsale
We loved the Montalembert! Yes, it was a boutique hotel and the rooms were a tid small. But, hey, you are in Paris. How can you fuss? The rooms were small, but that didn't bother us. We were hardly there. You can't go to Paris and stay in your room the whole time. It was in such a good location the we could go out each day and then return in the afternoon and take a short nap and get ready for the Paris night life. They were very contemporary, elegant, and clean rooms. Our room faced the front of the hotel. It was great waking up to the traffic as Paris started its morning. The breakfast was great. One of the best things about this staff was how helpful they were. We had heard that the French might not be too receptive of us Americans. We did not find that to be true, just the opposite. They recommended some of the best restaurants that we have ever eaten at, especially in Europe. They went above and beyond to help us out in any way.
Charming, comfortable stay at the Montalembert
from A TripAdvisor Member
My wife and I just returned from a wonderful 4 night stay at the Hotel Montalembert. We had a contmeporary Deluxe room on the 3rd floor, street side for about $495 a night. We were very pleased with our experience at the hotel.
The hotel itself is very clean and the room was done up in a contemporary modern style. The room size was big enough to feel you had some space to breath but was by no means large (slightly larger than a room at the Soho Grand if you've ever stayed there). It had a small balcony that opened to the street that we took advantage of to have a glass of wine after a day spent walking the city. The room was very clean, non smoking and well appointed. The bathroom was pretty nice as well with a shower/tub and an interesting design. The queen bed was very comfortable with nice bedding and I had no trouble sleeping (I'm 6'1'"). Though the hotel isn't on the Rue St. Germain, there was a bit of street side noise from the Rue Du Bac that woke me in the morning. However, all in all it was a nice, very clean room that satisfied all our needs.
Perhaps the best aspect of the Hotel was the service. Every staff member we encountered was genuinely friendly and all our requests for information and service were accomodated with a smile. Most of the staff all spoke English well and there was never an instance of that stereotypical French snottiness that we Americans seem to expect. (Frankly, we didn't encounter that once on our trip). Room service was always very prompt. We never ate breakfast downstairs so I can't attest to the quality of the food there. We preferred to buy cheese at a fromagerie and then have it with bread and coffee from room service. Speaking of food, there is a very good restaurant next door (literally) call L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. It's been written up everywhere from CN Traveller to the NY Times and the meal we had there was great.
The Hotel is located in a nice area a block off the Rue St. Germain in a neighborhood full of upscale home furnishing stores. It is located 1 block from a Metro Station (Rue Du Bac) and within easy walking distance from the Musee D'Orsay and The Louvre. Frankly it's with in easy walking distance to everything if you are willing walk more than a quarter mile (and you should be because there are a billion shops, galleries and other treats tucked into the streets surrounding the area).
I have only a couple complaints that didn't detract too much from our stay. At night the halls would smell like cigarette smoke and and the way the shower enclosure was designed allowed water to leak onto the bathroom floor.
But again, we had a very satisfying stay at the hotel and the helpfullness of the staff made up for any shortcomings.

Chic Little Hotel
from A TripAdvisor Member
My partner and I had a very nice stay at this small hip hotel on the left bank in early April. We had a deluxe room, the size of which we found to be more than adequate for us. I also found the room to be very quiet, which is important to me. The location is terrific and the staff at the front desk were exceedingly pleasant. We were not troubled by smokers in the restaurant. Perhaps we lucked out. The one morning when there was someone who wanted to smoke, he went outside. Continental breakfast was included in our rate and was very pleasant, with very friendly servers. It was a nice way to start the day. We would definitely stay here again.
Top Local Tips for Paris
Late night dining/museum If you find yourself with no time during the day for visiting a museum, you can combine dinner with a museum visit at the Palais de Tokyo, a very modern art museum that has a very good, eclectic, moderately priced restaurant. Both the museum and the restaurant are open late on most days.
Don't eat at your hotel if you can help it Finding a place to eat in Paris is like buying a car, there is so much to choose from and so many varieties. Slip into a terrace cafe and order a cafe creme and a slice of tarte tatin for a real parisian experience, or try a Salon de The where you can sample multitudes of different teas. If you are in the mood for Asian, venture out to Chinatown where there are hundreds of restaurants that will satiate even the hungriest stomach without breaking your budget. Otherwise, just about any place will provide you with high quality designer inspired meals that will blow you away, Parisians know how to eat, it's a fact.
Avoid CDG airport If possible, don't fly into CDG airport - it's a dump.It looks like it's the airport time forgot.I can only assume it wass designed by someone who hated humans and enjoyed making them suffer.Moving around the annoying circular structure and up and down plastic tubes makes you feel like a hamster. The woman on the information desk seems to want to keep the information to herself.Dont bother keeping any money aside to spend in the shops at the terminal, because they are practically non-existent.Other than that, it's fantastic.
