We are going to Paris/Provence May 2008. Any recommendations for the best hostel in Paris? Any suggestions for hostels or inexpensive cottage/apartments in Provence for 4 women?
Hotel Muguet, especially with a deluxe room
I stay at the MIJE hostels whenever I am in Paris. They have fantastic locations in historic buildings. They usually have a lot of school groups, but they try to book all the solo travelers at the Maubuisson branch. The top floor of this hostel has a great room with a view of the Latin quarter. You can reserve via their website at www.mije.com. I did have problems with their staff, but they did some re-hiring and when I was there in September the staff was so nice and helpful. Have fun!
