My family and I want a hotel with view of the Eiffel Tower. Which one is great but not too expensive? Could you post also what the average prices of the hotels are?

There is really only one hotel that is right next to the Eiffel Tower, and that is the Paris Hilton (seriously). It does have some rooms with views of it. There are some other hotels that may have one or a couple rooms with views of it from a top floor or something, but they won't be right next to it.

I think the Hilton is rather expensive, but you can get deals sometimes. Check out their website.

Not sure why a view of the tower is so important. Nevertheless, the hotels with SOME rooms having such a view are Hotel Leveque and Hotel Valadon.

The latter is 125-135 Euros for a double including breakfast.

Other options that come to mind that have at least some rooms looking off to the tower (you can never see the entire thing, you know). Usually, you have to request a "view" room for a little extra cost. These hotels below range from roughly 180€-250€.

22 years ago we stayed right next door to the aforementioned Hilton and had a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower.

It is now part of the Mercure/Accor
chain... here's a link:

Out of curiosity I checked the price
for a double for 1 night in July and
was quoted $219 USD.
