College students 3 nights in Paris

I've heard good things about this hostel: http://www.mije.com/index_individuels_uk.asp There are three all in the heart of Paris. Very clean. Very nice. Very safe.

Thank you Susan. I'll check out the link.

We just booked the Hotel Familia for 112 euro/night in early May. Centrally located, Left Bank, looks quite nice - hope so!

Hi Maria, There's also Hotel Jeanne D'Arc, and Hotel de L'Avre.
And the hospital next to Notre Dame has a hotel that is inexpensive that I've heard good things about, the hospital is called Hotel Dieu (you could google it). Also, check out this thread and especially the first response from Pat. She always has a list of good hotels, you could send her a PM if you'd like. http://www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/helpline/index.cfm/rurl/topic/78684/paris-accommodation-for-4-for-5-nights.html

Ruth- the hotel looks really nice... Susan- thank you for all the info. I'm saving the links...might want to go myself next year. They made reservations at hotel empereur EU 120...a bit over their budget, but it has good reviews, private bath, free Internet and great location. The hostel you suggested looked really nice, but some reviewers found bed bugs.

I hope they have a great time! And you too if you go next year!

Remember that bed bugs are brought in by the tourists. Sometimes they collect them on the plane. Hotels world wide suffer. Even the best places can suffer with them.

Check out the site www.airbnb.com Home stays of every type...have not used it, but it seems good.

True Nigel...never thought about the plane :( H J- Thank you - I'll check out the link
