My boyfriend and I are taking a two week Trafalgar tour of France in September. This is our first time to Paris. We'd like to add a few days in Paris at the start or at the end of the tour. Suggestions for a good hotel under $100 per night please, room must be quiet and clean and in an area from where we can easily get around to see Paris.

Rita, I answered this post for you last night, but by this morning it has been deleted; I have no idea why. I named my hotel that I stayed in last March (which wasn't advertising) so I've no idea why my post was deleted.<BR><BR>Here goes...<BR>Try the Hotel Degres de Notre Dame in the 5th arrondissement (Latin Quarter). Room 48 last year went for 600 ff, about $86/night. It had a lovely little view of Notre Dame thru almost floor-to-ceiling tapestried-curtained windows, glossy hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, TV, hair drier, en suite bathroom with bath & shower, even a desk. It was very clean and the hotel entrance is across from a little square. Very quaint. And a couscous-type restaurant. Plus, breakfast was included in the price of the room.<BR>You may fax directly to Nichole who is fluent in English;fax # is as follows:<BR>Fax#: (33) 01 40 46 95 34 <BR>I found this review on the web before I went to assure that it would be nice: <BR>http://washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/travel/features/parishotels041899.htm<BR>I think you'll enjoy the Latin Quarter in September as that is when university starts back at the Sorbonne.<BR>Enjoy Paris!<BR>~MaryC : )<BR><BR>

Hotel Muguet. I stayed there in March 2001. I chose it based on the glowing reviews on this forum. It was also mentioned in the National Geogrphic Traveler magazine. I read that review after my reservations were set. I used the web to make the reservations a got a quick response. The hotel is in the 7th and convenient to the metro and bus, but on a quiet rue. The tiny bathroom was immaculate.
