(Edited to add budget and year!) Hello - heading to Paris Aug 6-8 2023 in a few weeks and am doubting my choice- single mom with two teens (16 and 19) (total three humans) on a tight budget ($350 total two nights) looking for frugal suggestions where we all can sleep. Would like to stay in a hotel, or airbnb, or hostel - but the kicker is to get the three twins, or double with twin, or double with couch. It's painstaking to sift through hotel bookings to find the arrangement needed - I can't afford to do two rooms. We want to be near the eiffel tower if possible or someplace near to a train station. Suggestions welcome! I know nothing, just my temporary cache. I have a booking.com reservation for Hotel Apollo Opera, but the reviews esp. TripAdvisor look pretty bad. They DO have three twins, however!
Advice welcome!!

You might want to look at the reviews for Hotel Apollo Opera on Booking.com as only those who actually stayed there may post a review. Also, their reviews are much more current than TripAdvisor's for your hotel. Booking.com has much to select from and offers filters to get as close to what you want as possible. Most here search Booking.com and then contact the hotel directly to see if they can get a better price. Sometimes Booking.com is actually better than the hotel's website--especially with the cancelation policy.
Are you going to Paris this year--just 3 weeks from now? If so, you might have quite a bit of difficulty getting any hotel. Next Aug. 6-8 is the Olympics in Paris which will be harder yet and much more expensive.
While I have never stayed at Hotel Apollo Opera, they have AC which I would require and you said three twin beds. I hope you still have that reservation handy just in case you can't find something else more suitable.
How lovely that you are traveling with your kids and making memories!

After a quick search, the two budget suggestions I would have given you are both booked solid for your time frame.
To help those with potential hotel suggestions and to save you the trouble of wading through hotels that don’t match your criteria, please post your nightly budget (in Euros if possible).
