Paris hotel recommendations for Senior Citizens

I’m not sure what their current price range is, but take a look at Hôtel des Grandes Ecoles, in the 5th arrondissement.

It definitely ticks all your other boxes: set back from the street, sheltered by a wall; a private garden where you can have breakfast or a nightcap (or just revel in the peace and quiet;) comfy beds; a great staff; a short walk to a metro station.

The prices seem to fluctuate according to some pattern I have yet to discern, but it’s worth checking out their website, then following up with an email.

Oh, and great choice of breakfast set menus, but they’re glad to modify them. I only remember one meat choice; other items included eggs, cheese, fruit, excellent yogurt, croissants, juice, coffee or tea, and I’m sure other things I’m not remembering. Cereals, I think.

Hotel Muget in the 7th.

Did your hotel in the Montparnasse area fall through?

I almost always stay at Hotel Muguet that Claudia mentions, in fact I'll be there in October. I also like Hotel Relais Bosquet which is in the same area but is a little more expensive. It's still within your budget.

Pros:

Hotel Muguet - has awesome soft and luxurious sheets and towels

Hotel Relais Bosquet - has a better breakfast buffet with hot eggs and usually hot mushrooms along with the standard cold items. They also have little snacks in the afternoon.

Both have rooms that have limited Eiffel Tower views. Sometimes I've gotten them, sometimes not and really I'm not in the hotel enough to make that a deal breaker.

Metro stop closest to both is the Ecole Militaire stop on Line 8 and is within a 5 minute walk if you catch the light right from Muguet, lol.

Pam, the 2 hotels in Montparnesse have high ratings, but are a little distant from the main attractions. Hence, I am looking for someplace closer to the main places.
I see Hotel Muguet is a favorite for many in these forums. The rooms in this hotel are smaller compared to the ones in Montparnesse.
Hotel Relais Bosquet is too expensive - almost 500 euros per night.
Also, we like a room with 2 separate beds.

Hotel des Arts - Montmartre and Hotel 34B - Astotel have fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor. But the des Arts is a bit away from the nearest metro Abbesses.

Montmartre has the disadvantage of being a hill. I stayed once around the corner from this hotel; it’s fairly flat from the metro to the hotel. However, Abysses metro is deep underground with an elevator to bring people to the surface. But if the elevator is out of order, those are a lot of steps. Finally, Montmartre is a-centric with limited transportation to the majority of sights most people want to see even if it’s a great place to visit for a few hours.
Hotel 34B Astrotel is very centrally located, not far from the Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department stores and the Opera Garnier. There is a lot of bus and metro transportation. You have some very old metro stations running by there, so may find some stations without escalators. You can take the stairs at your own pace.
Finally, Montparnasse is not so far away from the sights and has excellent bus and metro transportation.

You might get more responses if you post this in the plain France forum. I did a quick search for "Paris hotels," limited it to forum posts and limited that to the last 6 months. Most of the discussions were from the plain France forum, with few in the France Reviews one.

If you have other criteria, like maybe an elevator, you could mention that.

Beyond here, you could use Booking.com to search and really zero in on your criteria in many ways, including price, location and twin beds, although many times those may be pushed together. Of course, you don't have to book through them. You can always pick some likely options and book directly with the hotel. I care nothing about stars and don't include that in my searches. I prefer their Review Score based on reviews by people who've actually stayed in the place.

In a quick look I did see that some hotels say something like "spa bath" or "shower," but when you click on a specific room both of those options might be available. I'm now in my late 70's, and I haven't taken a real bath in decades. I find crawling into and out of a tub/shower combo a pain and much prefer a walk-in shower. If you feel the same way, be sure that wherever you stay, your room has a walk-in shower instead of a tub.

Have fun finding a great place to stay and enjoy while you're in Paris.

Comparing Hotel Muguet with Lenox Montparnesse:
Both hotels are highly rated on Tripadvisor and booking-dot-com.
Muguet's rooms are smaller compared to Lenox.
Muguet has one metro station with one line in walking distance.
Lenox's rooms are bigger as compared to Muguet.
Lenox has 4 metro stations in walking distance. Montparnesse Bienvenue metro itself has 4 lines (#4, #6, #12, #13).
There are many eateries around Lenox that are not tourist priced (as said by others in these forums).

It is small, and thus hard to book, but the modest Hotel Louvre St. Anne, walkable to Opera Garnier and Louvre museum, was enjoyable. Some small rooms, but modern bathrooms, some with shower stalls. Breakfast charge extra. Not like a chain hotel. There are different versions of "vegetarian", but it can be hard to get non dairy "butter" in Paris. Do not expect Avocado Toast! Smaller hotels can have very modest breakfast buffets, but they tend to be bigger than they were 25 years ago.

yeah, I cannot get this one-Hôtel Louvre Sainte-Anne Opera for 7 nights

Check out Hotel La Perle in the 6th. I stayed there last year. Close to stops on two different lines. St Suplice is at the end of the street. Walk to Orsay, Louve & Notre Dame. Staff is very helpful. Nice garden area for breakfast.

I dont see a website for Hotel La Perle.
Between https://www.hotelmonge.com/en/ and https://en.astotel.com/hotel/34b-en/overview which area is preferable?
Room sizes in both are similar. Both are highly rated on tripadvisor.

I found the website for La Perle. This is in a pretty flat area of Paris & St Suplice is at the end of the street. It worked for me with the metro stops very close. I'm also a senior, in my 70s. Enjoy

Thanks StormyB. I have looked at it. It is comparable to Hotel Monge and Hotel 34B Astotel.

We will be back in Paris in December and had booked Hotel Muguet since we loved it on a prior stay. They told me it will be under construction though, so we opted for a different place for this trip. That is December though, and I have no idea when consrtuction will begin or how long it will last. I would email them and ask.

Due to that, we decided on the Hotel Clement in the 6th. I chose this mainly for location, but it also came recommended to me.

Thanks, but Hotel Clement says "There is no availability for the stay dates you have requested. Please, change your dates."
This is right next to Hotel la Perle.

It is often difficult to get a room for all seven nights. Good luck and hope you find the perfect place.
We prefer to stay in Arrondisement 5 and 6, and sometimes 7 but prefer 5th, 6th. Did not like staying in 8th and left for 6th. The 7th isn’t as convenient a location for transportation.
