Apollon Montparnasse - Paris, France 

This hotel was a great find, I had read the reviews and they were right. We were greeted by name and made to feel very welcome by the hotel staff. Rooms are small but very clean, the bathrooms all look new. The rooms were quiet even though the hotel is on a junction. The metro station is only at the other end of the street, along with bars and restaurants. The breakfast was fresh and plenty of it, something for everyone, fruit , cheese, bread, cornflakes etc. A very good base to explore Paris, good hotel rates and friendly staff. Will be back.

After reading the other very positive reviews on Trip Advisor, I booked two nights for my mother and I. Her biggest concern is always "Is it clean?" and it was very clean (and had very new bathrooms), so she was happy. I was pleased with the location, just a block from the Metro, which had great connections. (The Paris Visite card (unlimited metro, bus and local train) is a good investment for the short stay.) It is an great little hotel, and given it's affordable rates, a bargain in Paris. Our double was a good sized room, larger than many European hotel rooms I've stayed in. The neighborhood is quiet (makes for good sleeping), but there is at least one great bistro on the street, and many more within short walking distance. Also, there is a/c in the room, just in case the summer gets hot. (A definite plus.) Mom's first trip to Paris was a good one.(Whew!) I am so glad we had the Apollon and their helpful staff to come back to each night.
