Paris for 4 days July

I will be visiting Paris for 4 days early July and would like some suggestions on where to stay. We would like something mid-high range in terms of $$ but want it to be close enough to get around for all the sights - any suggestions? Is it better to stay in a hotel or pensione type accommodation?

Thanks!

The high range in Paris can easily be over 1000 Euro/night. You might want to be a little more specific about what services you expect and how much you are willing to pay. How many people are traveling together?

Sorry - I should have been more specific! It will be my boyfriend %26amp; I and I hope to make it quite a romantic holiday. We don%26#39;t want to spend a fortune on accommodation but again want either 3-4 star hotel or pensione style accommodation near enough to the sights so we don%26#39;t need to tavel for hours to get to them!

Thanks

Ya%26#39; gotta%26#39; be more specific than that if you want meaningful and directed responses. What%26#39;s your price range for a hotel, per night? 50-75 Euro? 75-150 Euro? 150 200 Euro. Since hotel rates are usually expressed in Euro, it%26#39;s best to start thinking in those terms. Right now the 1 Euro = $1.23--or 100 Euro = $123

Around 200 euro per night. The Hilton has a deal - is that location good?

|||

I don%26#39;t suggest you staying at a Hilton because you won%26#39;t find the parisian feeling and character or something special.By the way, if you want informations about Hilton%26#39;s location you have to precise the Hilton as there are 3 in Central Paris.

You should check these websites for more hotels in Paris:

Hy from France,

You can find some 3 Stars hotels between 100 and 150 euros for a night. But you will be surprised to see the smallest french hotels rooms. If you use to sleep in a huge room the price will be higgest ( Sorry for my baddly english but I hope you will understand me).

If you want a romantic hotel choose in Saint Germain quarter.Or you can choose this hotel :

The Pereire Hotel is is situated in the 17 ��me district. It%26#39;s a lovely hotel, with pretty rooms and this hotel is very quiet and the metro is near and in few minutes you will be where you want. You can negociate the price with this hotel.

Be carreful with the prices. Paris is an expensive city but It%26#39;s a wonderfull city. Prefer the old Paris with little street and little typical restaurant . in Paris you can choose the best restaurants in the World but prices are absolutly Huge.

Best wishes and good travel

Here is a suggestion...

Click on the hotels link at the top of this page. This will give you access to a database which you can search by area and price, and will also give you candid reviews of the hotels. I would suggest that you search in the Marais, Latin Quarter and St. Germain des Pres areas.

if you find a few hotels that you like the look of and that are within your budget, come back and ask more specific questions about them and their surroundings. Some research in the forum on the areas I have mentioned and others that appeal to you would also be a good place to start.

I agree with those who are suggesting that there are more interesting and certainly more romantic hotels in Paris than the Hiltons...

I have no problem heartly recommending that you give

irishrover%26#39;s suggestions serious consideration.

Begin with the location. I have always stayed in the

Latin Quarter (5th) because it was a happening place.

The September I will be staying in St. Germain De Pres (6th)

but spending a great deal of time in the Marais (4th).

They are centrally located and close to most everything.

If you like the looks of those 3 arrondisments, then look

for hotels within them.

For a romantic hotel well-located, have a look at Hotel Britannique...a wonderful 3 star hotel near Chatelet, it is in the Laint Quarter..The decoration of the hotel is really really nice...you can see it on the website; http://www.hotel-britannique.com

Have a look at the reviews onTripdvisor, you will see how people generally love this hotel!

Have a wonderful and romantic trip!
