Need Paris Hotel Recommendation

I am looking for a hotel in Paris to accomodate 4 travelers. We can all stay in one room if a quad is available or 2 separate rooms. We don't mind if the toilet and shower are down the hall. We are all adults in our 40's so we do not want to stay in any hostels or anywhere where there is a curfew. We are trying to keep our hotel expenses around $50 USD per person. I have been to the rants & raves section of Fodors but those hotels are too expensive. Please give me your recommendations. Thank you all!!!

Has it occurred to you to peruse the messages or do a search herein? You haven't mentioned when you're going, but you could order the hotel guide at the Paris tourist website and select from dozens of possibilities. Quads in Paris are few and far between, but doubles at $100 or less are quite plentiful. Do your own research, for heavens sake.

At least we could cite some names so that they can actually search FOR some firsthand information. Try searching "cheap Paris hotels" here yourself. worthless. One thread. Here are four with website addresses and prices. You'll find some info here on one or more of these.

Rates single 300F/x45.73; double 400F/x60.98-500F/x76.22; triple 600F/x91.47; breakfast 40F/x6.10 Credit AmEx, MC, V. Hotel services Lift. Room services Double glazing. Hairdryer. Safe. TV. Located on a largely pedestrianised market street near the Eiffel Tower, the Lévêque is good value for this chic area. The tiled entrance is charming, while the 50 newly refurbished rooms are well-equipped, with sparkling white bathrooms in all the doubles; singles just have a basin. Hôtel Castex 5 rue Castex, 4th (01.42.72.31.52/ fax 01.42.72.57.91/ http://www.castexhotel.com).Mº Bastille Rates single 240F/x36.59-310F/x47.26; double 340F/x51.83-380F/x57.93; triple 430F/x65.55; extra bed 70F/x10.62; breakfast 35F/x5.34. Credit MC, V. Hotel services Fax. Safe. TV. The Perdig-os have recently taken over this good-value Marais hotel and added a small salon. Neon-lit drinks and snacks machines are incongruous but no doubt handy. The spruced-up kitchen is available to guests. The 29-rooms are plain but pleasant. A couple of rooms don't have a loo, but all have a shower or bath. Hôtel des Batignolles 26-28 rue des Batignolles, 17th (01.43.87.70.40/ fax 01.44.70.01.04/ http://www.batignolles.com).Mº Rome Rates single or double 330F/x50.31-400F/x60.98; triple 450F/x68.60; breakfast 25F/x3.81. Credit DC, MC, V. Hotel services Safe. Room services Double glazing. TV. This still feels a bit like the girls' boarding house it once was, but provides a good base within easy reach of Montmartre. The Batignolles is simple, quiet and clean, with 33 spacious rooms and a tranquil courtyard. Hôtel Eldorado 18 rue des Dames, 17th (01.45.22.35.21/ fax 01.43.87.25.97/ http://www.parisavenue.fr).Mº Place de Clichy.

Hidden behind place de Clichy; from here you can climb the Butte. The 40 rooms, full of warm fabrics, are split between the main house and an annexe in the leafy garden. With a popular bar and billiard room, it is a hip address during the fashion shows when the major agencies use it as a dormitory for hopefuls who aren't yet up to $10,000 a day and palace hotel status.

Mel, I guess you didn't see thgis one: http://www.fodors.com/rants/rrread.c...ntity_id=51290 I haven't stayed there, but friends of mine did, a few months ago. The quadruple rooms are larger than anywhere else in Paris, and the rate is around 160 dollars per night. My friends loved it. It's not a fancy hotel, but clean, safe and the location in the Marais is great. Good luck, Surlok

hi, check out hotel du bois. located near the arc. www.hoteldubois.com double twin superior with bath 665 per night. works out to be about $35 per person. includes tax and cont. breakfast. nice location near main metro. right bank near the champs elysees. hope this helps!

With your budget I would second the suggestion of two rooms in a 2* hotel. Think about 4 people using one bathroom trying to get ready in the morning! You could search on hotelboulevard.com or look on the AOL France boards for hotel suggestions. There are many hotels available for under $100/night.

Searching is a very good idea if it's done in a thoughtful manner with a good choice of words, limited to one word, preferably. In this case, you could probably find info just by searching on the word "quad", and you won't get many listings. "cheap Paris hotels" is too long a phrase and too nonspecific (more people would probably use the word "budget" than cheap in a post). I do not think four adults can reasonably stay in a quad, however, and I suspect that many hotels would not allow that as it might be against occupancy rules, not sure -- hotels that have quads that are simply two double rooms connect together probably would (this would be pointless, those are priced same as two double rooms). Quad rooms are usually for two adults and two children. You can find good budget hotels at these URLS: www.parishotels.com, www.france-hotel-guide.com (they have budget section), www.123france.com; also www.hotelboulevard.com has some at lower end, just search by price or something.

The Hôtel Duquesne in the 7me has nice chambres communicantes (adjoining rooms with shared bath for under $200. The Hôtel de France right around the corner on the Boulevard de la Tour Maubourg has a quadruple room that's even cheaper.
