Hotel L`Abbaue Saint Germain

I was going back and forth with my decision about where to stay.

My most concern is the location . since I am solo traveler and coming from a country which has no metro system I am totally ignorant of how to use it ! I was reading in last 40 days all the TA post regarding RER and methods of transportation from airport to the city , printing maps and information but still am not sure if I am able to use it. Specially that I reach Paris after a long trip and changing 2 airport.

Anyhow , I narrowed the hotel to this :

First option : Hotel L`Abbaue Saint Germain

Second : Hotel des Grand homes

Third : Le Chaplin river Gauche ( this one seems very near to montparnasse Bieanvenue , and if I take Airfrance shuttle and get off at last station I can walk to it )

I read all their review and traveler photos in TA and their official website . and all are almost in same area . which one is easiest to get to from the airport and more walkable to Tour Eiffel.

Thank you for your help

The Metro isn%26#39;t as difficult as you think, but it%26#39;s also not the only way to get around Paris - there is a bus system, which you might prefer. Lots of the rest of us had no Metro system and we all survived Paris, you will too.

The following should give you a Paris bus map, so you have an idea of where the various routes go.

Of the hotels you mention, if I could afford it, I would select the Hotel l%26#39;Abbaye Saint Germain. Take the shuttle and then get a taxi. There is a cab stand across the street from the bus stop. Do your walking after you%26#39;ve had a nap.
