We will be passing through Paris for a few days in June, on our way to Tallinn. Does anyone have a favourite small hotel or BnB that we might stay in for 3 nights? Something reasonably central, and not too expensive?

Well, I alternate between Hôtel Muguet and Hotel Relais Bosquet in the 7th near Rue Cler. It's not "central" for most people but I can walk most places from there including Notre Dame.
Not sure what your budget is when you say "not too expensive". Hotel prices fluctuate and both of these hotels have different prices for many days of the week. It will also depend on when you are traveling as to what the price structure is.
Both have AC which you may need in June, especially if you are at the end of June.

Lotsa folks will have lotsa recommendations.
We spent 3 nights Hotel des Grandes Ecoles in September. 5th Arrondissement, steps from where the Hemingways lived in Paris, very near Rue Mouffetard, near the Pantheon and the Sorbonne, walking distance to Musee Cluny, Jardin des Plantes, Luxembourg Gardens, the Left Bank and Notre Dame. Notre Dame. The “walking distance” locations, which are the farthest from the hotel, are roughy 15 minutes; 12 to 18.
