i have seen suggestions here about web sites for getting paris hotels--can you remind me what good ones are? thanks.

Hi YT,

Do you want a hotel or a web site?

What's your budget?

What are your requirements?

thanks--

i would like an average hotel--3 starish--ideally around the latin quarter---i'll be going in march.

web site i think.

Without necessarily answering your questions...

I've used Travelocity and Expedia to get prices/research and book.

Some hotels have their own website (stayed at both) e.g.

http://www.hotel-paris-notredame.com/

http://www.paris-hotel-lutece.com/

And then there are hotel chains, like Accor/TImhotel (I've booked timhotel before):

http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/reserv...tination.shtml

http://www.timhotel.fr/

And then booking sites...

Using TripAdvisor is good in all cases to see what (hopefully independent) travellers are saying about them. Are you starting with a price (or area)...then picking...perhaps if you post your range, we can give you some choices.

Hotel in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne: Hotel College de France on Rue Thenard. Very friendly staff.

We have stayed at the Hotel Pas de Calais (google website) on two visits and find it very nicely situated right off the blvd Sainte Germaine with lots of shops and restaurant. Near Metro.

There are 3 sites I like to use for 'looking' b/c they have photos and customer comments. But I always book a hotel directly via their own website or email, and do check the hotel reviews at Tripadvisor.com

www.booking.com
www.parisby.com (and other locations)
