Paris Hotels

Yes I can recommend the Hotel Eugenie, Hotel Des Grand Hommes and Hotel Diana ,, clean, nice staff, and I LOVED the very central locations of all of them. Look them up , just google their names and the word "reviews".

Hi,
I have stayed at both. Grand Hotel Leveque I've stayed there in 2008 and Hotel Du Champ De Mars was on my trip last year. I loved it there, so Parisian and such a good value! The location of course is just the best. I noticed the Grand Hotel Leveque's prices have gone up a lot since my visit in 2008 which may be due to some renovations. I still liked Hotel du Champ De Mars even though it was quite small, it is fine as all you do is sleep there. The staff were fine, not over the top like staff at U.S. hotels are, but that is to be expected in most places in Paris. I would recommend both hotels.

Suggest you look at trip advisor, hotel grand leveque has had some bad reviews there and as well on this site. Never stayed in that one and from what I have read recently, would not choose it.

We always stay in the 15th arrondissement, at l'Hotel Hameau, 48 rue de Passy. It's a 7 minute walk from Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower. It is convenient to Bus #72, and is directly between the Passy and la Muette Metro stops. The neighborhood is clean, safe, friendly, and full of families. Along the main drag (rue de Passy) there are plenty of restaurants, good bakeries, and cute shops. There's a giant Monoprix, several cafes, a dry cleaner, and even a street market one day a week. Here's their site: http://www.paris-hotel-hameaudepassy.com/ The pix of the rooms are accurate. I have no explanation for the very weird faux fur bedspreads - but they are cozy, albeit odd. :D You will likely get a plethora of responses from fans of Rue Cler and the hotels there. I think Rue Cler is lovely, but I also think it is too expensive, AND that it was "discovered" by American tourists long ago.

Jennie, next thing to note, early October is still a busy time for hotels in Paris due to tradeshows etc, so book well in advance, by march or april even, you can look at hotel websites, most are clear when you can cancel by without penalty , better to book something and keep looking for something "better" then to wait too late to book and have to go to your 4, 5 or 6th choices.. Also agree that I personally would not stay in Rue Cler area, I find it a tad boring and not that central.. but I know RS likes it,( although on the one tour I took with RS we stayed in the 14th and my friends tour stayed in the 4th, so apparently even RS acknowledges there are many other nice areas to stay in besides the 7th.

My sister and I are staying at the Hotel Cluny Sorbonne in the 5th. It's 100 euros per night for a double room. It's small but we have a private bathroom and the neighborhood is wonderful - lots of shops, restaurants, and some supermarkets. The walls are thin and I'm a light sleeper so I wear earplugs and haven't been bothered by noise. We arrived here from the US at 9:30am and the staff moved us into our room in one hour, even though check-in time isn't until the afternoon. I highly recommend this hotel.

My husband and I recently (August 2012) stayed at Hotel Diana during a horrible heat wave in Paris. Great location, clean, incredibly helpful staff and most of the hotel & bathrooms have beeen/are eing renovated and updated. LOVED this hotel! See my review on TripAdvisor.

We stayed at the Hotel du Champ de Mars after a Rick Steves Paris City Tour. The hotel was excellent, especially considering the price (115 euros). It is located on a car-free section of the street, just a few steps from Rue Cler. The staff were very helpful, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained. We had a room facing the back, and it was very quiet.

Define 'inexpensive'. A hundred euro a night sucks for me. Sixty doesn't. There's plenty of both.
