OF what i read i should be looking in St germain or Montmartre area. Please help!!

Hi All,

i forgot to mention (silly me!!) - i will be in Paris from July 3rd to July 6th so i will need accomodation for 3 nights.

I don%26#39;t think you should be looking at the %26quot;Montmartre%26quot; area (18th arr. if this is your first visit to Paris - although there is a romantic nostalgia about Montmartre, in truth it can be a bit trampled and down-scale, and involves more transit every day to get to %26#39;the sights%26#39;.

St Germain is very centrally located and also very popular - there are lots of hotels there, tending to be a bit more expensive. %26quot;St Germain%26quot; overlaps parts of the 5th, 6th and 7th arrondissements...

The edge of St Germain and MontPARNASSE is also a nice area, close to Jardin de Luxembourg, lots of cafes and shops. Several nice hotels around rue Vavin, blvd Montparnasse, blvd Raspail.

Some good %26#39;value%26#39; hotels to investigate:

Hotel St Paul St Germain (6th) - has A/Chttp://www.hotelsaintpaulparis.com/

Hotel Delavigne (6th) - no a/c

I also vote for St. Germain and the Hotel St. Paul. We stayed there May 2004 and it was wonderful. Friendly, helpful, polite staff. Nice rooms. VERY convenient location but on a very quiet street (good at the end of the day when you%26#39;re tired.)

|||

though I should add, I didn%26#39;t feel the St. Paul was a value/budget hotel. It was nicely appointed and furnished. It%26#39;s not posh or extravagant, but it%26#39;s not dismal and plain either.

Have a look at the Hotel Central Saint Germain, a nice 3 star hotel that have benn newly renovated...They have air conditionning..It is a really nice hotel in Saint Germain des Pres.

Staff really nice, near metro stops Odeon and Saint Michel...

Have a nice trip!

That%26#39;s what I meant by %26quot;value%26quot;- a good meeting of price/location/decor/comfort. Not a high-end, expensive hotel but not a bare-bones budget hotel either.

|||

my mistake then travelnutty... I always took %26quot;value%26quot; to mean one notch above a flophouse. no harm, no foul. I didn%26#39;t realize how protective I am of my dear little St. Paul :)

Hi justgrace, travelnutty and audirennes - thankyou for your wonderful suggestions and website links. I called all these hotels and guess what - they are all booked. ByGolly i am soo late. i am still looking and have narrowed my quest for hotels in Notre dame and St Germain area. If you have any more suggestions do let me know. thanks again.
