Hi Guys,

Looking for advice on a really central Hostel in Paris as we will only be there for about two days and want to see as much as possible. If any of you have stayed in some nice central place in Paris i would be grateful to hear about it.

Many thanks in advance,
J

Hi J.

In Paris you have a lot of cheap hotels instead of hostels.
As hostel I can recommend you the St. Christophers - check [ux]https://rail.shop/hostelworld[/ux] for details.
But it is not directly in the center.

Would be good to give your budget.
There are tons of excellent hotels in Paris to choose from.
I have slept in many, many that are all satisfactory; it all depends on taste about decoration, neighborhoud.
I give you a list of midle range hotels:
Hotel Batignolles Villiers: the cheapest one I know of; haven't slept there recently so I hope that it has not worsened too much. I think double is about 60€. The hotel is located in the 17th arr. between Place de Clichy and Villiers famous for its open market street, rue de Levi. www.hotel-paris-batignolles.com The hotel is close to gare st lazare and many metro stations to get everywhere in Paris.
Hotel California Saint Germain: in the Latin Quarter; much better location but a bit more expensive; hotel decoration has nothing fancy and equipment is modern although no extra. i love the location but the numerous restaurants, cafes and shops and nightlife. Double is about 100€ www.californiaparishotel.com
Hotel Belfast Paris, at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, avenue Carnot, definitely the cheapest hotel in the area; its decoration is outdated but it is clean, pleasant and of course its location is unbeatable; double around 120€ www.hotelbelfastparis.com
if you like the area of St Germain des Pres, have a look on hotel St Thomas d'Aquin, ideally located close to the famous cafes de Flore et Des 2 Magots, the famous shops; hotel is extremely cosy and charming: www.aquin-paris-hotel.com Double is about 140€ www.aquin-paris-hotel.com
Let me know if it helps.
