We're booked on the Paris and Heart of France tour next May, and are planning to arrive three or so days early. The tour hotel, B-Montmartre, looks great, but I wouldn't mind finding something a little less expensive. The rate they offer is €207 per night, although it looks like it averages out a little cheaper through their website.
I'd like to find something for about €150 or less. I'm interested in staying in Montmartre, because it's a new neighborhood for us. We've always stayed near Rue Cler before.
Our needs are simple: we don't care whether or not the hotel has an elevator or air conditioning, but would like a clean, quiet room. We appreciate a good breakfast, and being near a bus or Metro stop.
I'm going to check out another hotel in the Rue Cler area, so I'm not ruling out staying in that district. I'd just like to expand our horizons a bit.
Thanks for your help.
