Hey guys I posted on here before. I'm leaving for Europe for 14 days hitting Paris, lauterbrunnen, munich and rome. So far I have booked a hotel for lauterbrunnen for 4 nights it came out to 700 n change but it's a balcony it's a little expensive but it's me and my gf. So it's not a big deal. Would like some recommendations for the other places to where I am going. In Paris kinda wanna be near the Eiffel Tower meaning about 10-15 maybe walking distance if possible. Munich I will be there for Okt fest. Which I'll be hitting on the weekend which is a little crazy I know but just the way the schedule worked out I guess in munich somewhere the action happens maybe mins away. And then there's rome I guess somewhere not too expensive near or a train ride from all the sites. My budget is not too tight but anywhere from 100-175 a night in each city for the hotels I paying a little extra in lauterbrunnen just cause from the pic I see it looks really nice. (Hotel staubbach) and view from the balcony is really nice. I hope you guys can give some good advice. Thanks ! 👌

Are these numbers in Euro, Dollars or something else?
Have you read any hotel reviews on websites like TripAdvisor or done searches using sites like booking.com or hotels.com?
Finally, you will get more responses if you break this request up into digestible chunks by country and post it in that country's forum.

I would suggest you stay at Hotel Eiffel Trocadero which has an incredible view of the Eiffel Tower. It's on a hill just across the river from The Tower, and the sight of the strobe lights going off at dusk is truly incredible. Most of the area hotels are on side streets and just don't have the view that this hotel has.

You'll want to go ahead and get reservations for Munich. I would suggest you just look at Booking.com and filter it from low to high prices. Then look for accommodations with the highest customer ratings. German hotels and bed & breakfasts are often obsessively clean at all price ranges, and perfectly decent places to stay.
When looking for any rooms in Rome, I would suggest looking to see what RonInRome.com has to say about accommodations. Ron is an Atlanta based travel agent that lived in Rome, and his documentation is the best on the internet. We stayed 20 miles south out in the countryside at a B&B when there 2 Easters ago.

Nail down your Munich hotel now for Oktoberfest. You'll need to bump up your budget for that one as well. We staid at Pension Locarno a few years back. It's a "bathroom and shower down the hall" type of place, walking distance from the Hauptbahnhof (and a quick U-bahn ride to the 'fest grounds). Good breakfast and relaxed, friendly check-in.

I'm just wondering why you want to be near the Eiffel Tower. It's not convenient to most of the other sights of Paris. The Marais and Latin Quarters are much better located for sight-seeing and have more to offer in the way of bistros, restaurants, shops, etc.

We stayed at the Hotel Le Littre, in the 6th arron., two years in a row. We booked directly with the hotel. The second time we stayed there, we had a room with a balcony. There are a few rooms that can only be booked directly with the hotel. They are the special view rooms. We could watch the Eiffel Tower during the day or night. It was so beautiful. As we were there in either May or June, it stayed light until 11:00 PM. We could see all the lights changing on the Eiffel. Our rooms were air-conditioned, as we would recommend that you reserve an air-conditioned room. The lobby is kind of dark, but they offer free Wi-Fi in the lobby. We only ate breakfast there once, as it was expensive.
