Hôtel de la Place des Alpes

The staff were fantastic, the room had everything I needed, it was comfortable, good location, nice area and metro nearby.

Warm welcome on arrival. Smallest lift i've ever been in! But it worked. Small room with small toilet and shower room. But nothing missing. Comfy bed. Great area to eat out and very accessible via metro.

For its claims as a 2* then this meets the bill. There are no doubt bigger rooms than ours and smaller ones. We were on the top, 6th, floor which meant we had good views (not much to see, really) and were well away from the street noise. As an old hotel which has been converted to en-suite rooms, the shower and toilet/sink (in separate cubicles) are small but, unless you are very large, everything is fine. The shower had good pressure and temperature. One thing to keep in mind about the top floor is that the lift only goes to the preceding floor so if your mobility is challenged the best avoid. Breakfast at 6+ euros is ok - you get a chunk of artisanale bagette and a plain and chocolate croissant, and a glass of orange juice. Coffee/tea etc as you would expect. There is also muesli and yogurt. The surrounding area is well-served for places to eat - across the street is a breton creperie with full menus of savoury and sweet - absolutely recommend. Also a garage across the road with a small supermarket. The obvious metro to use is Place d'Italie but the next down the line, Nationale, is easier to use and far less busy, with one flight of stairs, that Italie. Wifi was OK but you're asked to log out between uses to help with the bandwidth. We chose this hotel as an easy metro ride to Gare Montparnasse. (By the way, if you have luggage Denfert-Rochereau is a nightmare of stairs.)
