A 1-Star Montparnasse Hotel, Family-Run from the Same Address Since 1957
The noise drops the moment you turn off Avenue du Maine into Rue Fermat, a residential Montparnasse side street of bakeries, bistros and Breton crêperies in the 14th arrondissement, and at 16 Rue Fermat, reception lit and staffed whatever hour your train gets in, sits the family-run Hotel Savoy. The legal entity behind it, Société Savoy Hotel, was registered at the same address on 30 July 1957, which makes it one of the longest-running independent budget hotels in Montparnasse. Sixty-eight years on, the building still does exactly what the original 1957 owners set it up to do: feed a low-margin, high-volume Left Bank stay at a price the rest of the postcode hasn't caught up with.
Rooms range from compact 9 m² Economy Singles with an in-room washbasin and a shared shower on the landing. There are four of these, through Standard Singles, Deluxe Doubles and Superior Twins with private bathrooms, up to a 17 m² Comfort Triple with a sofa bed for a third sleeper. Every room is fitted with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, work desk, wardrobe, hairdryer and electric blanket; most also include a mini-fridge. The Deluxe Double is the building's best-value bed for two; its strong appeal with couples is almost entirely driven by it.
Three Minutes to Gaîté Metro, Nine to the Catacombes, Ten to Gare Montparnasse
What you are paying for at Hotel Savoy is the postcode. From the door it is roughly 450 yd (≈3 min walk) to Gaîté on Metro Line 13, 750 yd to Raspail (Lines 4 and 6), 850 yd to Denfert-Rochereau (Lines 4, 6, RER B and the bus interchange) and 850 yd to Gare Montparnasse for TGV services out to Brittany, Bordeaux, Bilbao and the Atlantic coast. The Catacombes de Paris are 700 yd / nine minutes on foot; Tour Montparnasse is twelve minutes; the Luxembourg Gardens are a 25-minute walk or a ten-minute RER B hop.
For airport runs, the practical play is to walk to Denfert-Rochereau and take RER B direct to Charles de Gaulle (about 50 minutes / ~€11.50) or Orlyval + RER B to Orly (about 35 minutes). There is no on-site parking, the closest public car park is Indigo Montparnasse-Gaîté, a few minutes' walk away, and Rue Fermat itself is residential with heavily restricted street parking.
What You Get at This 1-Star: 24/7 Multilingual Reception, Cash-Only, No Lift, No AC
The reception is staffed 24 hours a day by a multilingual team who speak Arabic, English, Spanish and French, and is the single most-praised thing about the hotel, second only to its location. Reviewers credit them for going beyond the 1-star expectation: arranging early-morning airport taxis, accommodating early check-outs, watching luggage between trains and being patient with non-French speakers at 11 p.m.
What the price doesn't buy: there is no lift (this is a traditional three-floor Parisian building with stair-only access to upper rooms), no air conditioning (central heating only, book October to May if you can), no on-site restaurant or bar, and settlement is cash-only. A photo ID and a credit card are required at check-in as a booking guarantee, but the room bill itself is paid in euros at the front desk. The Paris taxe de séjour and the Île-de-France Mobilités surcharge are added to your bill on arrival and not included in the room rate, withdraw enough at the airport before you ride RER B in.

Interesting Points About Hotel Savoy
- Trading from 16 Rue Fermat under the same legal entity since 1957, making the property one of the longest continuously-operated 1-star independent hotels in the 14e; the structural-supply reality is that the building has been a Paris budget bed for 68+ years and its guest reviews reflect that long, averaged history rather than a recent-snapshot read.
- Reception holds four working languages (French, English, Spanish, Arabic), unusual for a 1-star Parisian hotel in this budget bracket; that warm multilingual welcome is what guests single out most, and it is why couples in particular rate the stay well above what a 1-star listing suggests.
- Cash-only settlement is the house policy across all room types and rate plans, and 'Economy Single' rooms ship at 9 m² with an in-room washbasin and a shared shower on the landing rather than ensuite; two pricing-and-format details the standard 1-star listing does not foreground and that materially shift the in-stay reality.
- Three minutes' walk to Gaîté Métro (Line 13), nine to the Catacombes de Paris and ten to Gare Montparnasse: a four-attraction transit position that turns the property's small-room, no-lift, no-AC trade-offs into 'fine for a single-night TGV catch' for a class of traveller the standard listing does not explicitly target.
Rooms & Accommodation at Hotel Savoy
Economy Single Room with Shared Shower
Sleeps 1 · ~9 m² · In-room washbasin · Shared shower on the landing
The cheapest bed in the building and one of just four rooms in this category. A compact ~9 m² Parisian single with an in-room washbasin, the shower shared on the landing between floors and a private (or sometimes shared) toilet depending on the unit. Comes with a flat-screen TV, work desk, wardrobe, hairdryer, central heating, electric blanket and free Wi-Fi. Honest at the price: if the shared shower is a deal-breaker, book the Standard Single one tier up.
Check Prices
Standard Single Room with Shower
Sleeps 1 · ~9 m² · Private bathroom · Cheapest en-suite in the building
Same compact 9 m² footprint as the Economy Single but with your own shower and toilet behind a closed door, the cheapest private-bathroom option in the hotel and the right pick for solo travellers who would rather not stand in the corridor in a robe. Includes a flat-screen TV with cable and satellite channels, work desk, wardrobe, hairdryer, central heating, electric blanket and free Wi-Fi.
Check Prices
Deluxe Double Room
Sleeps 2 · ~11 m² · Double bed · Mini-fridge · a couples favourite
The best value for two and the room couples favour most. A ~11 m² double with a comfortable double bed (occupies almost the entire room, Parisian normal), private en-suite shower and toilet, mini-fridge, flat-screen TV, work desk, wardrobe, hairdryer, central heating and electric blanket. Genius rates regularly apply on this category.
Check Prices
Superior Twin Room
Sleeps 2 · ~13 m² · Two single beds · Mini-fridge · Often a ground-floor unit
A roomier ~13 m² alternative for friends, colleagues or siblings travelling together, two single beds rather than one double, mini-fridge, minibar, private en-suite shower and toilet, plus the standard flat-screen TV, work desk, wardrobe and hairdryer. The property flags Superior Twins as the category most likely to be assigned a ground-floor room, worth requesting when you book if you can't manage stairs.
Check Prices
Comfort Triple Room with Shower
Sleeps 3 · ~17 m² · Double bed + sofa bed · Largest room in the hotel · Family-suitable
The hotel's biggest room and only true family-suitable category, a ~17 m² configuration with a double bed, sofa bed for a third sleeper, mini-fridge, private en-suite shower and toilet, clothes rack, flat-screen TV, work desk, wardrobe, hairdryer and electric blanket. There are no cots and no extra beds in the building, so a party of four would need to book two rooms.
Check PricesIs Hotel Savoy Right for You?
Best Suited For
- Solo budget travellers who want a Montparnasse postcode at one of the lowest published rates in the 14th
- Couples on a short Paris city-break who would rather spend their euros on dinner at La Coupole than on a hotel room: the standout pick for couples
- TGV passengers using Gare Montparnasse for onward travel to Brittany, Bordeaux, Bilbao or the Atlantic coast: a 10-minute walk with luggage
- Long-haul flyers using RER B at Denfert-Rochereau for direct service to Charles de Gaulle (~50 min) or Orlyval to Orly (~35 min)
- Catacombes-of-Paris and Tour-Montparnasse-first visitors prioritising the 14e attractions over central-Right-Bank addresses
- 1- or 2-night short-stay bookers who treat the room as a place to sleep between days exploring the city: most of the strongest reviews come from this group
Worth Considering Alternatives If
- You expect boutique-hotel finishes or chain-hotel uniformity: Hotel Savoy is an honest, dated, working 1-star and its guest reviews reflect that
- You can't manage stairs: there is no lift in this three-floor traditional Parisian building; request a ground-floor room when you book if you must, but it cannot be guaranteed
- You can't sleep without air conditioning: there is no AC, central heating only, and Paris regularly hits 30 °C+ in July and August (book October to May if you can)
- You only carry cards: the property is cash-only on settlement, and the Paris tourist tax + Île-de-France surcharge are also paid in cash on arrival
- You absolutely need a private shower: the four Economy Singles share a stairwell shower; book a Standard Single or higher if that won't work for you
- You are travelling as a family of four: there are no cots, no extra beds, and the largest room is a 17 m² triple; you'll need two rooms
- You are travelling with a pet: pets are not allowed under any circumstances
- You are sensitive to thin-wall soundproofing: recurring reviewer feedback flags hearing neighbours through walls and doors closing loudly in this 1957 building

Montparnasse, Paris 14e, A Quiet Side Street with Lion-of-Belfort Views
Hotel Savoy sits at 16 Rue Fermat, a quiet residential side street in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. One block north of Avenue du Maine, two blocks east of the Cimetière du Montparnasse and a short walk from the Boulevard du Montparnasse brasserie strip, it sits exactly on the line where Paris stops being a tourist trap and starts being a working Left Bank neighbourhood. The Hemingway-era 1920s pedigree is still here, Modigliani lived and died nearby, Sartre and Beauvoir are buried in the Cimetière du Montparnasse less than ten minutes from the door, but the everyday texture of the street is bakeries, bistros and Breton crêperies rather than coach tours.
The 14e's two paid headline attractions sit within twelve minutes' walk of Rue Fermat. The Catacombes de Paris at Place Denfert-Rochereau hold the bones of more than six million Parisians along 1.5 km of viewable tunnels, pre-book online or queue for up to two hours on the day. Tour Montparnasse, the 210 m black-glass skyscraper a twelve-minute walk away, is widely held to deliver the best paid viewpoint in Paris because, unlike the Eiffel Tower, you can actually see the Eiffel Tower from it. The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain on Boulevard Raspail and the free Musée Bourdelle round out the cultural offer.
For airport runs the practical play is RER B at Denfert-Rochereau, nine minutes on foot from the hotel, direct to Charles de Gaulle in roughly 50 minutes for about €11.50, or via Orlyval + RER B to Orly in roughly 35 minutes. For TGV travel, walk to Gare Montparnasse rather than taking a metro for one stop. It is faster with luggage. The Orlybus also terminates at Denfert-Rochereau just south of Bartholdi's bronze Lion of Belfort.
- Les Catacombes de Paris: 700 yd · ~9-min walk · Subterranean ossuary holding the bones of more than six million Parisians along 1.5 km of viewable tunnels, entrance at Place Denfert-Rochereau. Pre-book online; same-day queues regularly hit two hours.
- Place Denfert-Rochereau: 600 yd · ~7-min walk · Square anchored by Bartholdi's bronze Lion of Belfort and the Catacombs entrance; also the metro / RER B / Orlybus interchange you'll use for the airports.
- Tour Montparnasse: 1,000 yd · ~12-min walk · 210 m skyscraper whose 56th-floor open-air rooftop terrace is widely considered the best paid viewpoint in Paris, because, unlike the Eiffel Tower, you can actually see the Eiffel Tower from it.
- Cimetière du Montparnasse: ~5-min walk · The Left Bank's literary necropolis, Sartre, Beauvoir, Beckett, Baudelaire, Maupassant, Susan Sontag and Serge Gainsbourg are all buried here.
- Musée Bourdelle: 0.7 mi · ~14-min walk · Free museum in sculptor Antoine Bourdelle's preserved studios and gardens, a rare quiet corner near Gare Montparnasse.
- Zadkine Museum (Musée Zadkine): 0.8 mi · ~16-min walk · The former home and atelier of Russian-French Cubist sculptor Ossip Zadkine, with a peaceful sculpture garden.
- Luxembourg Gardens (Jardin du Luxembourg): 1.3 mi · ~25-min walk or 10-min via RER B · The Sénat's formal 17th-century gardens, the Left Bank's flagship park.
- Eiffel Tower: 2.4 mi · ~20-min by metro · Take Line 6 westbound from Bir-Hakeim; the rooftop of Tour Montparnasse is also the cheapest way to photograph the Eiffel Tower.
Getting to Key Locations
Montparnasse & the 14e
The 14th arrondissement was the headquarters of bohemian Paris in the 1920s. Hemingway drank at Le Select, Picasso painted nearby, Modigliani lived and died here, and Sartre and Beauvoir are buried in the Cimetière du Montparnasse less than ten minutes from Rue Fermat. South of Boulevard Edgar Quinet the neighbourhood softens into a genuine residential village, Rue Daguerre's pedestrian food market, Rue de la Gaîté's theatres, and the dense cluster of Breton crêperies around Rue du Montparnasse, which exists because Bretons stepping off the train at Gare Montparnasse a century ago opened restaurants from home.
View on MapHow to Get to Hotel Savoy from CDG, Orly or Gare Montparnasse
- From Charles de Gaulle (CDG), RER B southbound: From any CDG terminal, take RER B southbound towards Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse or Robinson. Stay on for roughly 50 minutes. Fare is approximately €11.50; alternatively, the fixed taxi fare from CDG to the Left Bank is around €65.
- Alight at Denfert-Rochereau: Alight at Denfert-Rochereau and exit the station onto Place Denfert-Rochereau, the square anchored by Bartholdi's bronze Lion of Belfort and the entrance to the Catacombs. Walk west on Rue Froidevaux, the road bordering Montparnasse Cemetery to the south.
- Rue Froidevaux → Rue Fermat: Continue along Rue Froidevaux for about five minutes, then turn right onto Rue Fermat. Hotel Savoy is at number 16, on the right. Total walk from Denfert-Rochereau is around eight minutes.
- From Orly (ORY), Orlyval + RER B: Take Orlyval from any Orly terminal to Antony, then connect to RER B northbound to Denfert-Rochereau (~35 minutes total). Alternatively, the Orlybus runs directly to Denfert-Rochereau in roughly 30 minutes. Fixed taxi fare from Orly to the Left Bank is around €36.
- From Gare Montparnasse (TGV), walk it: Exit Gare Montparnasse at the Place Raoul Dautry / Avenue du Maine side, walk north on Avenue du Maine, turn right onto Rue de la Gaîté, then right again onto Rue Fermat. About ten minutes on foot, faster than taking the metro for one stop with luggage.
- From Gare du Nord, same RER B line: Gare du Nord sits on the same RER B line that serves CDG. Take RER B southbound to Denfert-Rochereau (~12 minutes), then the same eight-minute walk via Rue Froidevaux.
Paris 14e at a Glance
Paris is the capital of France and one of the world's defining cities, 2.1 million people inside the boulevard périphérique, 12 million in the Île-de-France region around it. The 14th arrondissement sits on the Left Bank, anchored by Gare Montparnasse to the north and stretching south to the Cité Universitaire. It is residential, literary and quietly cultural, the 1920s headquarters of bohemian Paris, the site of the Catacombs, and the postcode you choose when you want to walk to a Boulevard du Montparnasse brasserie at midnight rather than figure out the metro home.
Demand peaks May–July and again in November–December for the Christmas markets at the Tuileries and on the Champs-Élysées. Paris regularly hits 30 °C+ in July and August, and Hotel Savoy has no air conditioning, book October to May for the weather match. The shoulder months (April–June, September–October) give you the best balance of weather and pricing. Bastille Day (14 July) brings fireworks at the Eiffel Tower, visible from Tour Montparnasse a twelve-minute walk away; Nuit Blanche (early October) is the all-night contemporary art festival; Paris Fashion Week runs late February and late September; and the Six Nations rugby weekends and Roland-Garros (late May–early June) bump up demand at 14e budget hotels.
Within a few minutes of Hotel Savoy: Chez Joy and Augustin are 30 yards either side of the door, Aasman is the nearest non-French option 100 yards away, Bouillon Chartier Montparnasse on Boulevard du Montparnasse is the budget classic (three-course dinner under €20), and La Coupole, Le Select, Le Dôme and La Rotonde, the historic Lost Generation brasseries, are all 10–15 minutes on foot. Rue Daguerre's pedestrianised food market is five minutes south of Denfert-Rochereau.

What Guests Say About Hotel Savoy
Scores and review counts are aggregated from verified guest bookings on major travel platforms.
Pleasant
Guests keep landing on the same read of Hotel Savoy, with the location and the staff the two high marks and couples in particular rating it well for two-person trips. The praise is consistent and specific: the postcode for the money, the multilingual 24-hour reception, the unexpected in-room TV / mini-fridge / kettle / hairdryer combination at this price point, and how quiet Rue Fermat is despite the central address. The honest feedback is just as consistent: a 1957 building shows its age, the four Economy Singles share a stairwell shower, walls are thin and doors close loudly, there is no lift across three floors and no air conditioning, and the cash-only settlement plus the Paris tourist tax both land at check-in. Reviewers who arrive with realistic 1-star expectations score it 7+; reviewers who don't read the room descriptions carefully tend to score it lower.
Checked in at 9 pm, left at 7 am the following day, needed a bed and got one. Comfortable, clean private toilet, surprised by the bonus TV, small fridge and hairdryer at this level. Location is exceptional, in the heart of Paris, a few minutes' walking from Montparnasse train and metro station. Great experience given the reasonable price paid.
2025-04-08A brilliant location near several metro stops, lively without being noisy, surrounded by cafes, little restaurants and bakeries that smell incredible. Like most Paris hotels it's compact but clean, with a very comfy bed and a small, tidy private bathroom. The heating worked well, occasionally a touch too well.
2026-01-25Good. The downside is there is no elevator.
2025-04-28Efficient for a night before an early train. Room itself was OK for one night and close to the station. Entrance and staircase a bit run down.
2025-05-04Good location and overall I am content with this place. Wasn't informed about the tourist tax for accommodation. The doors closed very loudly and I could hear the neighbours. Warm water available but you need to let it rinse for a minute.
2026-04-20Fine for a short stay. The location is genuinely good and the staff are friendly, though the toilet hadn't been cleaned properly and there was an unpleasant smell.
2025-05-31A passable choice if you've an early train from Gare Montparnasse, as it's right by the station. The room was tiny, mind, and the ensuite was so cramped it felt like a coffin.
2025-05-04Good to Know Before You Book
Cash only on settlement, and the Paris tourist tax lands at check-in
Hotel Savoy does not accept cards for room settlement. Photo ID and a credit card are required as a booking guarantee at check-in, but the bill itself is paid in euros at the front desk. Two things to plan for: withdraw enough cash before you arrive, the nearest ATMs are on Boulevard du Montparnasse, and budget for the Paris taxe de séjour + the Île-de-France Mobilités surcharge, both added to your bill at check-in and not included in the room rate.
No lift across three floors, request a ground-floor room if you need it
This is a traditional Parisian building with stair-only access to upper rooms. If you have heavy luggage or any mobility concerns, request a ground-floor or first-floor room when you book. Superior Twins are the category most often assigned a ground-floor unit, but nothing is guaranteed, the property has confirmed it cannot promise step-free access.
Four rooms share a stairwell shower, every other category is en-suite
If you book the cheapest Economy Single category specifically, you'll have a washbasin in the room but the shower is shared on the landing between floors (four rooms in the hotel have this layout). Every other category, Standard Single, Deluxe Double, Superior Twin and Comfort Triple, has its own private shower and toilet behind a closed door.
No air conditioning, central heating only, book October to May for the weather
Hotel Savoy has no AC. Central heating runs in winter (efficient, occasionally too efficient, bring layers you can shed), and rooms rely on opening windows in summer. Paris regularly hits 30 °C+ in July and August. For the weather match, book between October and May; if you must travel in mid-summer, request a courtyard-side room when you book.
Breakfast is in-room, costs ~€5 per person, and is not included in the room rate
A simple continental breakfast is served in-room only and is not included in the room rate. Pay at check-in. Honest alternative: walk five minutes to Rue Daguerre's pedestrian food market or a few minutes either side of the door to the bakeries lining Rue Fermat and Avenue du Maine, guest reviews routinely call the smell of fresh bread on this street out specifically.
Thin walls and loud doors. This is a 1957 building, light sleepers should pack earplugs
Multiple guest reviewers flag hearing neighbours through walls and doors closing loudly. Combined with central heating that doesn't have precise per-room thermostat control, this is an unfussy 1-star sleep environment. If you are a light sleeper, pack earplugs or a white-noise app, and request a courtyard-side room rather than a street-side one when you book.
