Hi folks,

Thanks.

Try the Hotel Leveque in La Rue Cler (Metro - Ecole Militaire) hotel-leveque.com
Excellent location and very reasonable by Parisian standards. The only problem may be availability as it is very popular.

hotel and bistro recommendation
Can I recommend the Hotel Trinite Plaza, on the Rue Pigalle in the 9th Arrondisement?
This is on a quiet one-way street just south of the famous red-light district and just North of the Rue Haussmann, the main shopping area of Paris.
Also I can recommend Le Bistro de Deux Theatres, where a 4-course set menu is available, including wine, for 31 euros a head. Very good place to eat.
The hotel also does a shuttle to CDG ( 15 euro a head)or Beauvais

Hotel Trinite Plaza
Dooley.... "Can I recommend the Hotel Trinite Plaza, on the Rue Pigalle in the 9th Arrondisement" I thought I read in a tourist guide to avoid hotels in this area as it is so close to the "Red Light" Area of Paris.
Are you serious about this place or are you having us on?????????

Possibly the
Hotel de l'Avre would suit you. The rooms are simple but at €72 you can't go wrong. The Eiffel Tower is about 10 mins walk and you can see it from the top of the stairs when you arrive at the over-ground metro (La Motte Picquet Grenelle) which is 2 mins from the hotel. I personally would return there. The hotel is reviewed

In defence of Pigalle
Don't worry about the Red Light District - it's not like Amsterdam. There's practically nothing worse on the display than page 3 stuff from the street and that's in poster form outside the clubs - even the shops only had the most tame (Ann Summers) stuff in the windows. I guess you only see the real McCoy if you go looking for it and you wise up very fast.
Myself and my female friend stayed in a little hotel (nothing special but fine) in March at about 25euro each per night and it was a fantastic trip. Once you are off the main strip (pardon the pun), the area is like an authentic paris - a maze of little streets, boulangeries, cafes, little squares. It's right by Montremartre and beside the area that has all the cloth wholesalers (if you're into unusual material, sari stuff etc). Food was dirt cheap and the choice was brill - plenty of 3 course meals for 15-20 euro a head (Indian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Steakhouse, Vietnamese you name it). I would definitely stay there again - it made the whole trip seem a lot more of an adventure.
It depends on the kind of trip you are after. If it's luxury or family, then Pigalle might not be what you want but if it's something less sanitised than HolidayInn or Novotel i-could-be-anywhere-in-the-world type things, then the area could make your trip more interesting.

Hey Guys,
Any recommendations on Paris Hotels?
Somewhere central would be nice, and not expensive!
TIA,

Re: Paris Hotels
Stayed in the renaissance, which is part of the marriott group. It is only 3 or 4 stops from champs elysees and in business dsitrcit. Right beside big shopping centre.
I thought it was perfect considering the cost of hotels in paris.
It cost 99 euro a night, which was well worth it,

Ibis
I stayed in the ibis in Cambronne for €75 for the room per night. Tiny rooms, but most in paris are and it was very clean and modern with great powershower (though the bathroom is also very tiny) so if you are looking for a place to use as a base for tourism like we were this could be perfect. If you are gonna be lazing around the room youll want a bit more space, but like I said for us it was a grand job and the bed was decent.
Cambronne is a nice spot near the eifel tower, but I have to say the metro is SO brilliant that it really really doesnt matter where you stay as you can get across town in minutes.

Re: Paris Hotels
I am looking from the 14/10/04 till the 18/10/04 (thurs to Mon), so it could be more expensive.
Thanks OhPinchy for that. Will check it out.
Most important thing is a clean room imo.

Re: Paris Hotels
Sorrry I thought it was going to be for a weekend. As this is business district, you can see that it is an expensive hotel. But prices drop way down at the weekend.
So if your ever going at the weekend, keep that hotel in mind.
So may as well go with the other recommendation from OhPinchy. they are right in waht they say about not having to stay in exact centre, as the metro is brilliant, and you will know your way around really well after a few hours.

Re: Paris Hotels
Just looked at marriott website, the hotel is 98 for 15,16 and 17, but the 14th will be about 225.

I did marriott.com
Little trick with booking hotel with changing dates. Make two seperate bookings. If you put in dates 14-19 Oct, your first night is 225 and then drops to 123, little note under the rate.
But if you book for one night (14th ) it's 225, and then book again for 15,16,17 it is 98 for each of those nights.
Maybe you don't want the hassle of paying the extra or moving hotels, I suggest you try an alternative.
