Hotel in Paris

[ian brodie]

I may look like a newcomer, but I was denied access for some reason - don't know why.  So, for convenince, I re-registered.

 

My question is: I'll be spending a few nights with my son in Paris, at the end of March. A bit of culture, a lot of eating, drinking and talking. I'm looking for a cheap and cheerful hotel. One option is Hotel Familia in 5th Arr. If anyone can suggest any other hotels, or areas with lots of hotels/bars/restaurants, I'll be grateful.

 

Thanks

You could look at the Grand Hotel de Clermont in Montmartre. It's affordable, I stayed there a few times but not for several years now. I used to like Montmartre, nice buzz to it. 

Apparently Edith Piaf lodged in the building that is now the hotel, when she was still unknown.

If I am staying 'in' Paris then I always stay in Montpannase.......I personally think it is the best place to stay in Paris for many reasons. Especially the ones you describe.

I stayed here not so long ago.

It is clean, cheap and cheerful.

 

Are you driving there ?

Thank you both for the tips - very welcome.

 

@ALBF, no not driving - the train.

 

Cheers
