Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Taylor

Tucked away on a tiny one-way street between République and Canal St-Martin, Hôtel Taylor offers large rooms (by Parisian standards) at affordable prices in the edgy 10e arrondissement. Contemporary rooms painted in neutral tones are decorated with light-wood furnishings, pastel fabrics, and plush mattresses. Flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and dressers to store belongings make your stay extra cozy. Upscale Morabito toiletries are found in the bathrooms. Although the views are somber, the location is heavenly for those who want to stay off the beaten track but still be close to the Canal and Marais neighborhoods; the nearby métro keeps the city accessible.
