The rates for the holiday inn : 136 euro for a double + extra bed including breakfast for 3, and the rates for hotel la perla - 166 euro for a double + extra bed , for breakfast 13 euro per person, a total of 205 euro.we will stay 5 nights.<BR>thanks<BR> <BR>

I haven't stayed in either hotel but I live here and there is a huge difference between the locations. One hotel is on a enormous, busy and very impersonal street in a business district. <BR>The other is in the cute little rue des Canettes surrounded by St Germain and its charming shops and good restaurants with two good little microbreweries within spitting distance. <BR>Guess it depends on your priorities...

Personally I would stay at La Perle, both for the hotel and the location. here's what people who stayed said about it:<BR><BR>Hotel La Perle (3 star left bank)-<BR>Very clean, safe and comfortable<BR>I loved it - went back<BR>Loved that hotel<BR>For more Paris information e-mail me: [email protected]

Go for La Perle. You'll get a better feeling of Paris in the that area.<BR>The Champs-Elys&eacute;es are not Paris, although it seems to be a must for most visitors to have a walk there.

Stayed off the Champs d'Elysee; nothing special. Go for St. Germain de pres area instead.
