Montparnasse hotels in Paris are plentiful across all budgets in the immediate area around the train station Gare Montparnasse. They have one thing in common, value for money in what can be an expensive city for hotels.
Unless on local business or using Gare Montparnasse there is little reason at first glance for visitors to seek out accommodation here. However, for 'value seekers' looking for sensibly-priced hotels well below the prices asked in the centre of Paris, Montparnasse has its attractions.
Given this 'value' requirement the hotels around Montparnasse tick many of the boxes. Montparnasse is a Metro hub with four separate lines radiating out in all directions.
You can be at all the central sights in Paris in 15-20 minutes and the transport runs until late too.
Air France also run frequent airport buses direct from Montparnasse to both main Paris airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly.
Gare Montparnasse serves Brittany and the Atlantic coast all the way down to Spain plus some commuter services to south-west Paris.
The Montparnasse district also has a wide range of restaurants for all budgets and the shops serving the local community offer all the basics you could possibly need at local prices.
The main landmark of Montparnasse is the 59-floor Montparnasse Tower built in the early '70s above Montparnasse railway station. Partly because of the perceived ugliness of such a structure, the construction of skyscrapers in the city centre was banned shortly after it was built. As a result the tower is a secondary tourist attraction with great views across Paris from the top.
