Many travelers are interested in hotels that are inexpensive, but that are not classified as hostels or budget motels. In a city like Paris, it can be difficult to know your options because there are so many neighborhoods, attractions, and price ranges that it's easy to get lost in the flood of information. These five affordable hotels in Paris are certain to offer you a combination of comfort, affordability, and proximity to all of the main tourist attractions of Paris.
- Hotel Duc de St. Simon
You’ll feel like you’re living in an 18th century dream when you step into the colorful, maintained courtyard of the Hotel Duc de Saint Simon located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. This neighborhood is known for Paris' main attraction: The Eiffel Tower. Lined with blooming flower boxes in each window sill, this charming hotel is an affordable way to enjoy Paris, with rooms starting at only $175 per night.
- Hotel des Saints-Pères
Have some breakfast, or le petit-dèjeuner, in the cafe of the boutique Hotel des Saints-Pères located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, or La Rive Gauche. This is a lively neighborhood due to its proximity to the Latin Quarter and Notre Dame. Starting at $122 per night, this 17th century mansion-style hotel would be a bargain at any cost. One of its guest rooms houses a 300-year-old fresco painting depicting Virtue and Goodwill with cherubs.
- Hotel La Villa St. Germain-des-Prés
Contrasting with its proximity to nearby antique stores, Hotel La Villa Saint Germain-des-Prés is a lovely modern 4-star boutique hotel with a breakfast room and night lounge accommodating a varying range of travelers' interests. Most importantly, this hotel is under $200 per night and is located in one of Paris’ most chic neighborhoods, Saint Germain-des-Prés, near the Luxembourg gardens.
- Hotel Verneuil
Intellectuals and artists alike, such as Pablo Picasso and Albert Camus, came together and shared their ideas at a cafe called Les Deux Magots (named after a popular play of the time) in the Saint-Germain-Des-Prés area of Paris, and that cafe has since become a popular tourist attraction. Starting at $118 per night, you can stay at the Hotel Verneuil, located in close proximity to this famed cafe. This hotel is also very family friendly, business traveler friendly, and has a long list of modern amenities, considering the cost.
- Hotel Le St. Grégoire
Hotel Le Saint Grégoire has rooms starting at $153 and is located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, near the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens.
