I needed more info on accomodations in Paris during November. Can anybody suggest which is the best & most economical hotel out of these to stay in Paris - Hotel de la Porte Doree, Sorbonne, Hotel Notre Dame by Place de Republique, Hotel Ibis, Hotel de l'esperance, Muguet, Hotel des Arenes (imp), Libertel on Rue Bellechasse, Hotel Grande Leveque, Delhy Hotel(imp), Hotel des Grandes Ecoles <BR>or if you have any other suggestions, they are more than welcome. Thanks. <BR>

A few of the named hotels are quite popular like Grandes Ecoles, Muguet, and Grand Leveque. These three in particular have received many favorable comments so you should do well with any of these. However, do all of them offer you availability for November? Because if you're looking to reserve only now then it'll be a bit difficult I would imagine.

Actually availability may be just fine. Tourism is 'way down. I was able to reserve the Muguet this week for 3 weeks from now.

I can only tell you that the Libertel Bellechasse is not the most economical on your list-regular double rm rate is 155 euros with a promotional rate of 139. Both the Muguet and the Leveque, also in the 7th, are much more inexp. Both have been written about extensively here-you can do a text search on them.

I have stayed at the Libertel Bellechase. It may technically be in the 7th, but it is quite close to the Musee D'Orsay. The rooms are not air conditioned, probably not a problem in Nov. and they are very tiny.

I can give a solid endorsement to the Grandes Ecoles, where we stayed for two weeks in May. Check out its website:<BR>http://www.Hotel-Grandes-Ecoles
