Dear Susanne;<BR>here are a few more choices in the 6th starting with the most reasonable 1) grand hotel de l' Univers- a good choice I stayed there a few years ago and the rooms were well maintaned and decorated in very lovely " French" decor. Ours was a classic toile & a good size room; be sure to ask for a room that does not face the street and upgrading is always recommended.<BR>2) hotel Saint Germian des Pre's probably the most deluxe chain in this catogorey; and hotel left bank Saint Germian.<BR>You can view all these hotels by logging onto www.parisby.com but I would recommend booking directly with the hotel as cancelation fees through this site are steep.<BR>Good luck...Viva la France<BR>Fluffy<BR>to the top for Susanne

The Best Western chain is not at all like what you know of in the US. As mentioned, they are individually owned. I regret not keeping my reservation at the Hotel de St. Germain des Pres as it is a very nice-looking hotel on rue Bonaparte. Rue Bonaparte is right in the heart of the St. Germain area. I could have gotten a room with a canopied bed also but passed it up for another hotel which I absolutely regret staying at and for which I paid much more than the BW St. Germain des Pres. All I can say is that I pay to learn. If I go back to Paris, I will try to stay there.

I have stayed in Best Westerns all over Europe & have always had good luck. They are always moderately priced & nice. Best of all, unlike Expedia, etc. you make the reservation online & pay when you arrive. Cancellation policies are generous, much like in the states. We have changed our lodging numerous times w/them as well w/no penalty. I highly recommend them for Paris as well, they have several properties there that should fit your requirements.
