I am bringing my 75 year old mother in law, 20 year daughter, sister and 10 year old niece (5 of us total) to Paris for the first time in June of 2026. I have been trying to find a hotel that would have a roll-away bed for my neice but I am striking out. I was hoping to stay in the 7th and get 2 rooms for the 5 of us or possibly an apartment for all of us. We are aiming for hotel rooms to be near or less than $300 per night ($600 if it fits everyone). Does anyone know of any hotels that will do rollaway beds? I have sent several emails to hotels and am 0 for 6 on rollaway beds! I have also looked on air b&b and some of the Paris apartment rentals but they are all out of our price range. I am hoping someone may have a recommendation for me!

Have you gone on booking.com and put in your parameters? Youy can filter for apts, hotels, how many adults and children (in your case, 4 and 1.) If they have something similar in France they probably would refer to it differently. Have you googled for the French term? I just did and found it is called "un lit pliant"...a pliant bed. Maybe using the French term will be more productive than expecting a French hotelier to un derstand our terms. Try booking.com, and read the descriptions of the sleeping arrangements in the rooms/hotels you are interested in. You may have better luck.

Oh, yes, there are aparthotels in Paris and many on this forum have recommended them. Put "aparthotels" in the search bar above, then filter for forum, and then for 6 months or less or one year or less. There should be some threads that list some of them. They may serve your purpose. Good luck!

You should look for a hotel with a triple room and a double — a double room with a rollaway bed for a third person is, as you are seeing, a nonstarter. Hotel Muguet in the 7th has a family room that sleeps five and also has triples and doubles. I’m not sure if it will be in budget in June. There are plenty of hotels with triples and doubles. As mentioned above, booking.com is a useful resource for finding two rooms for five people. You could even see if the have chambers communicates (connecting rooms).

I have been looking for triple and doubles but I not finding many that offer triples. I've done all the search parameters on Booking.com, Google hotels, vrbo and airbnb. I am not finding many triples at normal hotels!

Hotel Mugeut is lovely but is over $400 per night for a triple for June!

I just looked at booking.com searching for 2 rooms for 5 people with a $600 cap in June and it suggested 33 hotels. I’m not sure if it is offering me lower prices but there are some places that I think of as good hotels that are showing up but they are not in the 7th: for example, Hotel Bonaparte (6th), Grand Hotel des Balcons (6th), Hotel Mayet (6th). Are you okay with a double beds or must each person have her own bed?

Definitely look beyond the 7 th - it’s not that central so while Rick made it popular - it’s just not that great .
Try being open to 4 th , 5 th , 6 th , and nothing wrong with 1, 2 , 14 either .
And in France they are very strict with fire codes and occupancy - a room must have a minimum square footage to be a triple , and a double is generally going only ever take two people .
I see a few good places recommended on this thread .
Unfortunately you are also going during height of tourist season ( well tourists always come but obviously very busy April - October , with a small lull in August as less rooms are taken by business travellers )
Expect to pay at 200 -250 a room at least .
I haven’t been in 2 years ( and have been many times ) and I do see quite a price increase .
Also , absolutely make sure the hotel has ac !!!!!
It is miserable to have no heat relief after trampling around all day and often street noise precludes keeping a window open - which even if open still won’t supply a nice breeze .

There is rarely room to put a rollaway bed in a double room. I can't stress this enough -- double rooms are usually tiny; many literally would have no space to put a rollaway and if one were jammed in you would be walking on your knees across beds to get to the bathroom. We have had a room like this with our daughter on a rollaway years ago. You need a triple. Most triples we have rented have three good size singles, often quite close to each other. We once booked a triple t the Hotel des Grande Ecoles where the third bed was a sort of day bed which would be okay for a 10 year old. And that hotel has a nice garden. No AC though and upper rooms are nightmarishly hot in hot weather.
But your best bet is a two bedroom apartment with a fold out bed in the living room for the 5th person. The advantage of an apartment with a group this size is having a kitchen -- you save a ton by doing breakfast in and it is more fun. The 10 year old will love to go on the bread run in the rmorning and select breakfast pastries while others are making the coffee and getting out the juice and yogurt etc. It is also nice to have the social space of an apartment like a dining table and a couch and chairs. Many hotel rooms have nowhere to sit but the bed and certainly no place for 5 people to gather. especially in the price range you are talking about. (which I know seems high but is not in Paris alas.)
The 7th is our least favorite district so far -- and we hve stayed in over half the arrondissements of Paris. Of course it always depends on the precise location. FWIW. while we like apartment hotels and have stayed in several, they can also be awful -- be sure if you book them that you see lots of pictures and read lots of reviews. We recenty spent 5 nights in an Adagio near Bastille that was like a youth hostel -- really uncomfortable and in a building with zero amenities like laundry and commons space. Worst place we have stayed in years.
