Hotel Stay in Paris
Hi again, was hoping to find more help on a hotel choice, i will be arriving at Paris Gare Du I'est on the DeBahn from Germany, with my lugguage. can anyone suggest a hotel, preferably near that station so that i don't have to pull my lugguage thru Paris City and the busy Metro network. my budget is about 200 Euros a night. Thanks in advance

There's a Campanille very close by on rue Lafayette. A friend has stayed there several times and a French friend has an apartment a few steps away, from the hotel, so I've walked past it. Happy Travels!

Actually, that hotel is called the
Campanile Gare du Nord on its web site. I looked it up, and it is a 2* and costs less than €100. I have no experience with the hotel, but you might try Trip Advisor for a review. http://www.tripadvisor.com
It gets mixed reviews, and ranks #861 out of 1,924 hotels in Paris.
You could perhaps do better.

many thanks to those who answered so fast, but the hotel is fully booked...
any other recommendations?
if there isn't any choice and i may have but no choice to pull my lugguage around the metro to get to a hotel,
where could i go and stay? near a central metro station, easy to get to Champs Elysees.
thank you in advance.

The price you can get will really vary depending what night you want.
But try www.accorhotels.com . There are several hotels near Gare du L'Est.

As you probably know, those are both chain hotels and the price difference reflects which is slightly more upscale.
I wouldn't pay the extra 50 euros for the Mercure but have a close look at what's included at each hotel on their web sites--there may be something you want at one that's not available at the other.
I would spring for a taxi over to the 4th, 5th or 6th arr and lower my per night budget to 175-180 euros to reflect the cost of the taxi. IMO you'll have more fun in those areas where there are many hotels in that price range.

Nukesafe- The friend who stayed there has stayed at many Campanilles, for years, and has been totally pleased with them.
And true, it's a 2-star, but since the original poster stated that he/she has 200Euros to spend, I interpreted that to mean that 200 Euros was the budget max. Also, it's good to have several hotels, in mind, not knowing what might be booked. Happy Travels!

Mavric, just get a taxi at the Gare de l'Est. Then you can stay anywhere you want. If you can afford 200 euros per night, you can afford a taxi.
When we traveled in our younger days, we traveled cheaply and always took public transportation. In our "mature" years, we take the occasional taxi. It can be very convenient, very pleasant and even save money if you consider your vacation time as money.

Have a look at Hotwire.com
Plug in Paris and your dates... for a 2 night stay one of the things it came up with for $149 (USD not Euros) in the Gare du Nord Republique area was a 4 star...
"Our 4-star hotels include:
InterContinental, Hyatt, Omni, and other prestigious hotels..."
You don't find out which hotel until you book but your star level hopefully keeps you out of a dump!
Bonne chance!
Rob

Mavric- I have two whole threads on hotels in Paris. One is "Paris Left Bank Hotels" and the other is "Paris Right Bank Hotels".
If you scroll down the section listing the first 50 threads, then you will see the two hotel threads there.
We have some excellent choices listed there. I personally prefer the "left bank" where I've stayed for over 30 years. Happy Travels!
