Centrally located neighborhoods and hotels in Paris for 70+ solo female traveler

https://hotelparismuguet.com/

Over decades have stayed there more than one once. 7th arrondissement.

Small elevator. Easy stroll to metro station; Ecole Militaire. Invalides where Napoleon is buried is a 10 minute amble. Should check off all your boxes.

For my last couple visits to Paris, I've stayed at Hotel du Jeu de Paume on the Ile Saint Louis. The staff is wonderful, my room has always been quiet and comfortable. Read the room descriptions carefully as it is a very old building (with an interesting history). They list room sizes. Some rooms have shower over the tub, some a separate shower. Breakfast can be added.

Your a few minutes walk to Notre Dame and within 15-20 minutes walk of Sainte-Chapelle and Vedettes du Pont Neuf. Cross the Seine to the Left bank and catch the bus to Musee d'Orsay and Musee Rodin. Cross to the Right bank and catch the bus to l'Orangerie or walk maybe 15 minutes minute walk to the Picasso.

There are several cafes and restaurants on the island and your just a short walk to the right or left banks.

I can recommend Bonsoir Madame. https://www.bonsoirmadame.paris/en/

I have stayed there as a solo traveller and with my spouse. I/we love the location in the 6th; quiet but very close to great restaurants, the Jardin du Luxembourg etc.

Hi there,
Solo female your age here.
I’m just back from France and for my six nights in Paris I stayed here:

It’s on booking.com, but I booked direct with the hotel.
Elevator to the very top, good breakfast each day, wonderfully friendly and helpful staff.
I asked for a room with a balcony and a walk in shower (bad knees: tubs are lethal for me!), which I got.
Very top floor in what would have originally been a “chambre des bonnes” or servants room.
It was small but not claustrophobic at all and had a small fridge, kettle, teabags,etc.
The whole place looks newly renovated and was spotless everywhere.
My tiny balcony looked out toward the street and the Pantheon and had one chair on it to sit on.
There are bigger rooms with balconies one floor below.
Notre Dame is very near, I could hear her bells….maybe a ten minute walk to the river.
Plenty of restaurants, cafes, boulangeries, grocery stores and an open market nearby on certain days.
I would absolutely stay there again!

I’ve stayed at Hotel Muguet within the month. I love it BUT if you are not planning to use the Metro I don’t think this is a good option.

FWIW, I’m mid 70’s, solo, female. This is my preferred neighborhood but I use the Metro daily.

Hi, I stayed at the 30-room Hotel de Londres Eiffel several years ago on an RS tour. I very much enjoyed it, and it’s walkable to plenty of restaurants. The hotel has a small lift and is near the Seine. Yes, it’s in the 7th but a few streets over from Rue Cler.

In October my wife and I stayed in Paris for 4 nights after a Rhone cruise.

We stayed at the Hotel Des Saints Peres in St Germain: https://www.esprit-de-france.com/en/hotels/hotel-des-saints-peres
It is a vey easy walk to restaurants and shopping. Probably 20 minutes to Notre Dame. Might be at the upper end of you budget.

Happy travels.

I recently stayed in St Germain at Hotel Le Regent. The location was excellent. Just a few blocks from a Metro Station, many restaurants and bakeries nearby, Short walk to either Notre Dame, San Chapelle, and the departure point for Seine river cruise trips. We walked to Musee D'Orsay along the river in about 15 min. https://hotelleregent.com/

Rooms were small (paris style). There was air conditioning and an elevator. Neighborhood is quite lively at night, but inside your room you hear nothing.

Breakfast is available, but honestly, walk around the corner and choose from 3 bakeries......
