Hi we are going to paris in July and need to know of good places to stay with bath/wc. I have heard of the Regent's Hotel on rue Madame, 6th. Anyone ever stayed there?

An excellent choice is the Hotel Bonaparte in the 6th district. The price is right, the location is great and the rooms are much larger than the usual european hotel.

I must also recommend Hotel Bonaparte. Stayed there for eight nights last Feb and loved it! Mme Dumas and her staff are delightful and the location is fabulous. Place Saint Sulpice is right around the corner with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Very convenient with many bus lines and two metro stations within a couple of blocks.

I have not stayed there, but in my Paris file I have this comment from this message board, March 2000 <BR>"I recommend it to everyone. It is very pretty, very clean, very newly done, and very reasonable. It is a charming hotel. The metro is a short distance away. The hotel is in a <BR>very good location just a little ways off St. Germain near St. Suplice. They pointed us to a restaurant where we ate with locals and were treated royally (samples from the kitchen, etc.) for about $50 per couple with lots of house wine. The rooms we were in were very large for Paris, probably 8 feet all the way around the bed. Our friends had separate toilet and bath rooms. <BR>Everything was blue and yellow just as they appear in the photos. I want to go to Paris at Easter so I can stay there again, and I am a budget traveler who puts very little care into where I stay as long as it is clean!!" <BR> <BR>You can also look for comments at www.paris.org and www.hotelboulevard.com <BR>

I would definitely second the recommendation to stay at the Hotel Valadon. My husband and I stayed in what I think they called the family suite. It had a HUGE bathroom in the lower level and down comforters. The staff was marvelous! The owner, Victor, has his own bistro that we ate at on our last night. It was the best meal of our entire trip. I think it ran about $110 a night. I definitely would have paid more if I had to.

Hi, <BR>I want to recommend the hotel where we stayed at the beggining of this month: the Hotel Losserand Montparnasse. Our room was pretty small, but it had a wc/bathtub/shower, a minibar-refrigerator, we got a very good cold buffet breakfast(cold cuts and cheeses, different pastries and breads, marmalades, yoghurts/ apple sauce, oatmeal, etc). We paid around 80 USD per night for 1 double room with breakfast included. <BR>It was also very conveniently located: less than 1/2 block from the Pernety Metro Station, across the street there is a bakery, 1/2 block away there is a supermarket, and 1 block away there is a laundromat. We were also able to walk from the Gare Montparnasse where the Air France bus dropped us from the airport (about 10-15 minutes walk). The hotel belongs to a chain called Les Hotels de Paris, and we booked it through their website: <BR>http://www.hotelsparis.fr <BR>Alexandra

I can echo the recommendation for Regent's hotel, made by elaine, having stayed there two years ago. The only thing I missed having in the room was a mini-bar.
