I will be attending a conference being held in the 13th Arrondissement. Can anyone suggest a safe, economical hotel in this area? I am not familiar with the 13th.

Thank You.

Hi VT,

While waiting for a better answer, go to www.venere.com.

Click Paris
Click Map
Choose the 13th arrond. They have 13 listings.

Where is the conference?

Hôtel Coypel
2 rue Coypel, 75013 Paris

We stayed there 5 years ago. Spacious room and bathroom, clean, 2 minute walk from Place d'Italie metro station. Inexpensive (back then) compared to other hotels.

I was a bit bored so here is a decent list. The 13th is a 'wide' arrondissement - that's why I asked where the conference would be...

the 13th arr. is one of the largest in Paris, so you really should say WHERE this conference is. If you are near the border, it could be closer to get a hotel with an address in the 5th, for example. I assume it's probalby around Place d'Italie, though.

So, Manufacture is rated pretty well in that area, that's a good idea, and the Ibis and HI Express should be fine for budget choices.

Thanks to all of you for your help. Sorry I could not give you the specifics of WHERE the conference will be...did not have that information where with me.

Hi VT,
Here's a little bit of info from Wikipedia. Hope it helps.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XIIIe_arrondissement (cut/paste url to your address bar if the link doesn't work).

I went to Paris last year and actually stayed at an apt. (18th century bldg.)in the 13th district. The bldg is so-so,the unit is okay, clean fairly modern. The location is superb as it's centrally located and is quite near the Metro,banks, shops and Franprix supermarket is just across the street. The weekly rate was $850 (summer rate,poss. lower in May/June)and that converts to just around 61 Euros/night. The owner is friendly, lives here in the US, so I didnt have to pay VAT (19% tax). If you need more info, feel free to email me.
