ira,
Don't know if you're still wondering (or if you're off on a trip now), but I went in to check the rates at the Bonparte in mid-June.

Since you've so *very* successfully recommended it here to us, I had to see it!
I was intrigued, particularly given its great location (across the st. from Pierre Herme!) between Place St. Germain and Place St. Sulpice. Next to the Rue Jacob, the Rue Bonaparte is my second favorite street in the 6th.

The very friendly desk manager, who spoke perfect English, gave me the '03 tariffs:

doubles:
152-triple
148-deluxe (only 2, one on very top, another ground floor)
137-standard
115-small

singles:
131-large
109-standard
88-small

Looks like they'll give you the '03 rates for March '04 if booked now.

Just wanted you to know your favorite "no longer a secret" place still seems like a very good value, since rates have steadily inched up in the "little slice of heaven" in the last 2 yrs!

Maribel, I stayed at the Bonaparte for 4 days in July.. I paid 152 Euros for a triple....Actually I thought that it was quite a bargain, considering the location and also with the AC...

Hi Maribel,

Thanks for your note. I called them this morning.

I booked two rooms for the end of April '04 at 115E.

I feel so much better.
