Denfert-Montparnasse

The restaurant, clean hotel rooms, surroundings of the hotel

The bathroom could be more modern. But is clean!

Located on a pleasant street (little traffic, good range of restaurants) 3 mins' walk from entrance to Montparnasse Cemetery. Generally quiet, comfortable, clean room at rear looking onto hotel/restaurant terrace with lots of plants.

Slow service: a) I waited at least 5 mins on arriving as the manager was in the en suite restaurant helping someone with a mobile phone problem; b) on arriving in the restaurant for breakfast (25 mins before 9.30 limit), I was told by a cantankerous employee that breakfast times had to be observed. I was then served breakfast in the (North African style) restaurant by another, friendly employee. Quite loud plumbing noise from bathroom on floor above.

Brilliant location on a quiet street. Shops and restaurants nearby. 2 Metro stations within easy walking distance. Small privately-owned hotel with helpful staff.

Breakfast is fairly basic (orange juice, hot drink, baguette, croissant, yoghurt) but is very good value at only 6 Euros each. Room relatively small, but that's typical of Paris.
