The Aviatic Hotel (Montparnesse area) looked fine from the internet photos and it's location to the Gare Montparnesse was a reason for choosing it...since we were travelling to & from the Loire Valley.....BUT I would not stay here again because of the constant rumbling of the Metro that you could hear and feel. (Montparnesse is a major correspondence...several lines intersecting.)
Also while the staff was professional, they weren't as readily accomodating as in our other hotels...and you needed to use your room key to access the breakfast room...does that say something about security??
I learned if you are staying further out from the center of Paris, the hotel should be very accessible to a Metro stop....preferably not a MAJOR one...they are cavernous!
