Few amenities
Location is a huge draw for the Hotel Le Littre, which is steps from the Montparnasse train station and a five-minute walk from several Metro lines. The property itself combines a certain grandiosity of interior architecture (marble hallways, sconce chandeliers) with eclectic, contemporary and sometimes kitschy touches (the recessed arch of a hallway statuette is illuminated in bright pink, for example). Rooms are large by Parisian standards, clean according to most, and devoid of noise (though some are more modern than others). Most agree this is a plain, clean property with an excellent location -- worth the trade-in for the slightly bland decor.

Scene
Plain, simple hotel with a fabulous location for tourists
The feel throughout the hotel is of an opulent event hall whose glory days have passed. A wood-paneled dining room with a full horizontal ceiling skylight, sconce lighting, and 60s-model furniture gives off a decidedly retro feel, though the decor isn’t consistent enough to be stylish per se. However, the lobby and dining hall are ample, with plenty of leather-upholstered chairs and festive touches like a small wrought-iron statuette of the Eiffel Tower, baskets of orchids, and framed Matisse posters.
Location
Centrally located on a quiet street off Boulevard Montparnasse
The Montparnasse neighborhood combines proximity to a number of Metro lines with a plethora of shopping options, supermarkets, movie theaters, and restaurants, as well as excellent access to Right Bank attractions. The nearest set of Metro lines are contained within the Tour Montparnasse itself, which is exactly one block away. Private shuttles run hourly to and from Charles de Gaulle airport from the Montparnasse train station (this takes about an hour), which is a seven-minute walk from the hotel.
Rooms
Large rooms (by Parisian standards) are simple, with a few modern touches.
An overall aesthetic is lacking in many of the rooms, but they are handsome, if plain, nevertheless. Some rooms have moulding, brass bed frames, and heavy chintz curtains; others have dated patterned bedspreads. Furniture is vaguely in keeping with 18th-century aesthetic lines, and there are a few historically related framed prints on the walls. All have medium, wall-mounted flat-screen TVs with satellite reception, bathrobes and slippers, hair dryers, minibars, safes, and air-conditioning. Smaller rooms have stall showers; larger ones have bathtubs. Smoking is permitted in some rooms.
Features
A tiny business center (for a fee), room service, parking, and a small bar
A separate room off the lobby houses two computers (one with a qwerty keyboard) with internet access, and two accompanying printers for public use (but use of it requires a fee). There is also a small bar in the lobby, adjoining parking for a hefty daily fee, and room service available.
