Helpful Hotel Search Site (for stay in Paris)

I know some distinct features that I'd like to find in a hotel. Does anyone know of a website that will allow me to search hotels that have certain ammenities?

budget hotel in Paris (prefer city center)
triple room (prefer three twin beds)
non-smoking room
a/c
elevator
in room safe
bathroom with shower in room
near a metro stop

Many, many thanks. I've found many search sites but nothing that has allowed me to easily find these features. I'm growing weary of reading listing after listing.

Oh, and a mini bar fridge would be icing on the cake.

Try this site which is NOT an agency site. You check the hotels that you like and the emails go directly to those particular hotels.

www.france-hotel-guide.com

Choose the Paris selection naturally.

This is one of the best databases for searching by criteria. Especially cool is the feature of putting how many meters from a subway stop (or monument) you want to set as a range. It lists one-stars and up, some quite obscure properties to well-known ones. You will want to do additional research to determine "quality" but it is a great way to get a list going. The map feature is cool, too.

Thanks to you both. I'll give them a try.

Ira -

I'm still in the process of figuring out all the budget ends of the trip but would like to keep it under 200 euros if possible for a triple room.

Ideally, I'd like it sharply reduced but don't want to be far from the city or in a creepy place. I stayed in enough yucky places during college.

We have stayed in a room at the Hotel du Palais Bourbon that seems to fit your criteria exactly. If I needed a triple like that one, I would go back there again.

This is in the 7th, very easy walk to the Orsay, and around the corner from the Musee Rodin, and maybe two blocks from Invalides. Easy Metro access.

Give it a look.

Ooops, forgot to add that I didn't have a search site to offer, but did have a room like the one you described.

Again, I hope it helps.

Hi moldy,

I think that the Hotel Bonaparte, 61 rue Bonaparte, meets your needs.

I believe that a triple is about 160E.
