The Ibis in Montparnasse is in south of Paris, away from all the busy tourist areas. Easily access all landmarks by close by metro stations; easy to buy metro tickets at machine (buy extras as some rare stations may only have entry only with no ticket sales!). Great reataurants in area: sushi, Thai, Libyan, crêpes, etc. Great shopping close by too on major roads. Ibis has decent breakfast option, self serve buffet: fruit, yogurt, boiled eggs, croissants, bread, sliced meats, cheese, juice, coffee, tea. I felt safe in hotel and area surrounding it. Very clean rooms and bathroom, very cozy bed and pillows. Hotel was perfect for somewhere to sleep within easy access to all sites of Paris. Very helpful staff, they printed my last minute purchased Louvre ticket. Tip: buy all tickets in advance to avoid line ups, especially the Catacombs, crazy line-up wait time!! (Aug/17)
