Hotel Mistral

Excellent hotel close to Montparnasse...

Liked: We've stayed at this very charming simple hotel before as it's close to Gare Montparnasse. This time they gave us a free room upgrade, to a lovely room with cross-ventilation from front to back of the building. Staff are charming, breakfast is excellent and can be taken in the leafy rear courtyards, beds were comfy and wifi excellent. Plus, the neighbourhood is very interesting and lively though the hotel itself is on a quiet street.
Disliked: N/A

Comparatively reasonable and very comfortable...

Liked: Great location. Non-touristy area, but with easy access to the sights and lights. Good local restaurants, too. Especially Zama on Rue Daguerre nearby. Excellent what we used to call middle eastern cuisine, plus pizza. Been eating this food around the world for 60 years and this was the best. Decent breakfast, less than I would have expected, for the price, honestly, but Paris Prices? More on that later. Tiny rooms, but typical. Very lovely staff allowed us to check in early and made our 48 hours in Paris incomparably better.
Disliked: What equals value for money for the Parisian visitor in the summer of 2025? Absolutely nothing. Comparatively, this is good value, but the city is set up to rip off the tourist—and the resident, just like NYC, where I’m from. Nice hotel, you’d be lucky to stay there. But Paris? Avoid unless you must not.

Superb

Liked: Most of it.
Disliked: The breakfast room is very tight, especially if it rains and one cannot sit in the garden.

Superb

Liked: Great value for money, and excellent service with very friendly stuff.

Will stay again without hesitation!

Liked: Excellent location and breakfast

A comfortable and pleasant stay...

Liked: Mistral offers clean and bright rooms just a short walk from Montparnasse train station, so if you are heading south or east out of Paris, it is a good place to stay. The staff is helpful and the breakfast is nice. In warm weather sitting out in garden is pleasant. You may also enjoy learning about the history of the hotel.
Disliked: The blinds in the bathroom need cleaning or replacing.
