Convention Montparnasse

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights while visiting Paris and found it to be ideal for our needs. The room was small, but clean, with excellent Air Con (necessary during August in Paris) and the shower had good pressure. The breakfast was reasonable and worth the extra we paid for it, although there are two good Cafe/Bistros immediately next to the hotel, with many more similar establishments in the vicinity too, so it isn't strictly necessary. The parking provided was definitely secure, being in an underground lock-up to which you are given the key, although larger cars may find it a bit tight. Access to the city couldn't be easier, with the Convention Metro station again just outside the hotel.

Owner and all receptionists very friendly (all speaking English well), free high-speed internet access, obviously newly refurbished, excellent breakfast bakery, metro station outside the door, walking distance to expo centre, selection of surrounding restaurants and bars

Size of room very small, stairs from reception to breakfast room not meeting standard of rest of hotel, door to linnen room in basement open during brakfast period giving a somewhat messy impression, no foreign language TV channels

coffee machine to be used (if paid)

localization, near the metro station and supermarkets.
