Paris accomodation options for 3 nights

You might ant to consider a neighborhood near the rail station you will be using to leave Paris. Though I’ve used Air B&B’s in the past, sometimes the inconvenience of key exchanges makes a hotel a better choice. If your BNB isn’t available until 3 in the afternoon, what do you do with your luggage if you arrive at 10 AM? At least a hotel can store your bags until your room is ready.

Neelu,
You need to give more details to get good suggestions. Your budget would be a good start as would the number of people traveling and whether any are children or have mobility issues, and the number of rooms you need. Also, the time of year that you will be in Paris. It would maybe also help to say the airport where you will arrive and the train station from which you will depart.

Neelu - Take a look at these accommodations for 3 nights. They are all in great neighborhoods.

I"ll concur with those who advise to stay close to your train station...….but taxis and UBER are great resources if you have a lot of luggage to haul to the train.

I agree JHK, I should have given more details. We are going as a family of four with two teenagers.

We are arriving in Paris CDG in the morning so, i agree we should consider hotel for the luggage storing purpose! Good suggestion!
We are looking at an accommodation where we all can stay together, if hotel all 4 in one room, or an airbnb apartment.

And I also like the idea of staying close to the rail station as we will be taking a train GDL in the afternoon, so it will be easier to checkout and board.

How is the commute from Bd Peripherique is from City Centre, if we consider taking a place around that circular road?

Thank you all for clearing the cloud!

Well, you still did not give a budget, but okay. The budget and time of year really can affect the places that I would suggest. If you said your budget is 200€ for a quad room in June or early July, I would tell you to forget about some of the more expensive, but more ideally located for a first visit, areas of town such as Saint Germain, Le Marais, or Ile Saint Louis. For a 3-night stay especially for a first visit, I tend to suggest hotels.

I would not stay on Bd Périphérique. Many parts of it, especially on the northern side are not very charming. I guess if you are right on top of a metro station, it could be okay but you would be looking at about a 30-minute ride to the center unless you happen to be close to a stop on the RER system.

The mass transit system in Paris is very good. I would not stay near a train station just because I am taking a train in the afternoon of day 3 of a trip. That being said, there are some good budget hotels within walking distance of Gare de Lyon (I am guessing you want budget accommodations because you ask about travel from the Périphérique). Hotel Bel Oranger on rue d'Austerlitz might work for your family because it has a nice family room. Depending on the budget and the age of the teens, you might be able to get two rooms and thus have two bathrooms -- makes getting out quickly for a 3-day stay that much easier -- if you stay at one of the Ibis hotels near Gare de Lyon. A well-liked, budget hotel in the center that has quad rooms is Hotel Marignan on rue du Sommerard in the 5th arrondissement.

Hotel Marignan is a very good suggestion, very budget, in a very central, great area near Notre Dame and the river. They have free use of their washer/dryer and a communal kitchen.

JHK-- Budget is a very subjective word i would say. Bd Peripherique was just to gauge the travel time to center. We need an accommodation that is clean and which has a rating of 7.5+

7.5+ on what scale?

Okay since budget is subjective (whatever that means in this context) and assuming you want a quad room as compared to two doubles, I suggest you stay in the Saint Germain/Latin Quarter area and look at Hotel Dauphine Saint Germain and Citadines Saint Germain des Pres. You may also want to look at Le Marais. A couple of years ago my family of four stayed in a set of connecting rooms (so basically a quad) at Hotel d'Aubusson and it was fantastic. You could do the same thing at another place we liked, the Hotel Odeon Saint Germain. The other day, I took a look at Le Roi de Sicile which is on the edge of Le Marais. It has apartments and the premium apartment sleeps four people.

I would also recommend Citadines Saint Germain des Pres if you all want one room. There is a separate bedroom with a queen sized bed and the sitting area has a day bed and trundle. There’s a small kitchen and the bath is split so that the toilet is separate. Fantastic neighborhood located near many restaurants, the metro/RER, shops, etc. Walkable to a lot. Breakfast available for a fee but creperie stands nearby as well.

Assuming your rating range is from booking.com, it is 8.3/10.0

With four people I would take a taxi from the airport. Your hotel can arrange a shuttle to the airport which is usually economical and easy. Being near a train station should not be important.

We also like Hotel Royal Saint Michel in the same neighborhood. They do adjoining rooms which might work.

Assuming your rating range is from booking.com, it is 8.0/10.0.

With teens I would get two double rooms in a low cost hotel rather than one fairly expensive quad with four adults now with only one bathroom -- you will waste a lot of time getting ready with that set up. Quads are hard to find; doubles in moderate hotels are easy to find.

Finding a room for 4 in Paris can be a challenge. Don’t expect two queen size beds. One double (full) and a sofa bed is more likely. This was my challenge when researching for our trip for four (including a teen who is 6’1 so a sofa bed won’t work!). I considered Hotel Residence des Arts. They have connecting rooms, and each room has a queen bed, sitting area with sofa bed and minibar. Plus you would have two full bathrooms. They only have two rooms per floor, so if you book the connecting rooms you have the floor to yourselves. The hotel is centrally located with easy access to the metro and RER.

We ended up booking an apartment, but this might fit your needs.

We are a family of 4 who just 2 weeks ago stayed in Hotel Eiffel Turenne in the 7th. We had 2 connecting rooms-better than one large room b/c we had 2 bathrooms. The rooms weren't huge but we were never in them for long. Very nice typical European hotel- cozy feeling as imposed to large. Good breakfast. The a/c in the rooms was great-which was important during the heat wave. Around the corner from a metro line and Rue Cler is a 5 minute walk-went there for dinner one night. You can walk to the Eiffel Tower. Very friendly staff that were helpful arranging cabs, helping us with the metro, etc... I would stay there again.

A lot of AirBnB owners are flexible on check in times, and may be able to store your luggage there earlier. Renting an apt. or home might be more comfortable.

I’ll
Second susan’s recommendation of Hotel Marignan- excellent location - with such a short visit no way would I want to spend time commuting in and out each day

JHK actually recommended Hotel Marignan. I’ve stayed there. Yeah commuting in would eat up a lot of time, especially when you only have 3 nights (2 days). I also wouldn’t rent an apt for just 3 nights.

Oops sorry susan

No worries, i have recommended Hotel Marignan in other threads.

Staying near a train station for one trip when you depart makes no sense. Stay near the sights you want to see.

Thank you everyone for all your useful suggestions. Because of this we were able to book our hotel in Paris.
