Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the Solar Hotel's convenient location, with easy access to the metro and RER B train for airport connections, placing it within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and even Montparnasse. The inclusion of a French breakfast is a plus for many, and the rooms typically offer amenities like a kettle and refrigerator. While some guests have found the shower space a little small, the hotel provides an elevator up to the 6th floor, blending comfort with accessibility.

underwhelming stay

shower screen broken air conditioning

the shower setup was something. it lacked a proper screen, resulting in water splashing all over the bathroom floor after each use. i almost needed a mop after a quick rinse. also, the air conditioning seemed to be permanently broken. i heard similar complaints from other guests too, so it's clearly an ongoing issue nobody wants to address.

good breakfast free bikes convenient proximity

The hotel included a simple, good breakfast each morning. I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the metro and a direct train to the airport. The hotel has bikes for free use, cycling around was a fun highlight.

The shower was a little tiny. It was hard to take a proper shower, though.

I found the staff helpful with directions. The location near denfert-rochereau made getting around easy. i could walk to many places of interest from here. the nearby market offered fresh fruit and bakeries had delicious treats!

The breakfast offered limited variety. I wished for more options besides bread and coffee, though i still had a good start to the day.
