We (me, my wife, a 1 year old, and a 2 year old) are interested in visiting Paris for a few days and are looking for hotel recommendations. We'll be arriving/departing from Gare de Lyon, so something fairly close to there would be great. I'd like to keep it under 160 euros per night if possible.

Thanks,
Pat

try hotel du jardin de marais--great location and they have family rooms with tiny kitchenettes which would be good for your kids

The Mercure Hotel that is part of Gare de Lyon itself is 140€ a night. www.accorhotels.com -- look at the 12th arrondissement.

Hello.

I can recommend Hotel des Mines at 125 Blvd St. Michele in the 5th. They have triples that are nice with a big bathroom for 135 euros. The staff were very nice. Stayed there in triple twice. It is also near the Luxembourg Gardens, nice for the children.

While we won't be staying there until October, we're staying at the Hotel des Grandes Ecoles near the Luxombourg Gardens. It came highly recommended as a family friendly hotel. It's 115E per night (plus 10E for a crib).
