Hi, me and my girlfriend are making a trip to Paris. There are hundreds of hotels there and we have shortlisted a few. We would really appreciate if someone could give their view(s) on whichever hotel they know about- <BR>FLEURIE <BR>HÔTEL DE L'UNIVERSITÉ <BR>BRADFORD-ÉLYSÉES <BR>CARON DE BEAUMARCHAIS <BR>DEUX-ILES <BR>ESMÉRALDA <BR>HÔTEL DU CADRAN <BR>LATOUR MAUBOURG <BR>GRAND HÔTEL LÉVÊQUE <BR>LE TOURVILLE <BR>LIBERTEL QUARTIER LATIN <BR>Hôtel de l'Empereur <BR>Hôtel de Nevers <BR>Hôtel du Palais Bourbon <BR>Hôtel Saint-Dominique <BR>Le Duc de St-Simon <BR>Hotel St-Germain-des-Pres <BR>Hotel des Grands Hommes <BR>Hôtel des Sts-Pères <BR>Hotel Champ de Mars <BR>Hotel Lindbergh <BR>RELAIS ST-GERMAIN <BR>TIMHOTEL JARDIN DES PLANTES <BR>MINERVE <BR>Hotel des Grands Ecoles <BR>Hotel Muguet <BR>Hôtel Résidence Monge <BR>La Tour Notre Dame <BR>Relais St. Christine <BR>Relais Bosquet Hotel <BR>

You'll have to give us a small clue as to what you are looking for. Some are cheap, some are nice, some are really nice and all are in different areas. You have to start with some idea of area and price, please.

I recommend the Relais Bosquet. Run a search and you will find my review. The location is great and we had a very nice room (decent sized for Paris). It's close to the Eiffel Tower, Rue Cler and 1.5 blocks from Metro. The Hotel du Cadran was down the street and it did not look very appealing from outside (it may be fine, this is my opinion only). The shutters all were flaking paint and the lobby looked dark. I'd suggest narrowing your field down a little more as your list is pretty extensive. Basically it depends on what you want to pay, what Arr. you want to be in and how fussy you are about room size, decor etc. I have heard the Bradford Elysee is good but have no personal knowledge.

We are looking for something in $ 70 to $ 170 range- no more, no less. We would be out the whole day but we would like to have a nice well decorated room. The hotel should either be close to Eiffel Tower (walking distance) or maybe 10-15 min walk provided the hotel is in a nice beautiful area.

We stayed at the La Tour Notre Dame and liked it. It is in the Latin Quarter, next to all of the nice cafes and close to the metro station, making everything very accessible. It is not close to the Eiffel Tower (short metro ride away), but next door to Notre Dame. <BR>The room was small, but well-kept. We paied about $80 in December, and I think it's about $100 in the summer.
