The white façade, rear garden, and flower-filled window boxes brighten this lesser-known neighborhood between Le Marais and Rue Oberkampf. Rooms are smallish (splurge for a triple, just EUR 116), with modern furnishings and run-of-the-mill bedspreads and drapes. Some overlook the flowery courtyard. There's a free Internet station in the lobby, and five métro lines are around the corner at Place de la République. Pros: bright and colorful; popular nightlife district. Cons: small doubles; long walk to the center of town; no air-conditioning.
