Does anyone have any suggestions as to reasonably priced hotels in Left Bank (5th or 6th) with rooms big enough for family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids)? Thank you.

Hi Greg,<BR>You may want to try the Hotel Minerve at 13 rue des Ecoles in the 5th. It is owned & run by a family, the same family that has its "neighbor", the Hotel Familia on the same street. The Minerve has triple rooms, and will also furnish a cot, if necessary. The ph# is 01.43.26.26.04, the fax# is 01.44.07.01.96, and they are situated close to a couple of Metro stops.<BR><BR>Bon Voyage!<BR>BC

Topping for Greg...Greg, add onto this post please to solicit info, don't create a whole new post if you feel you haven't received enough responses. Thanks!

Hi...I was in Paris in March and stayed in a 'triple' room at the BW Hotel Left Bank. It was a great location and very, very nice hotel. This was my 4th stay in Paris and so far my favorite hotel both amenity and location-wise. Although this was technically a triple, there was plenty of room for a rollaway or two small people to share a bed. Do a search for Bestg Western (BW hotels in Europe are usually unique 3-star hotels).

Greg, this hotel was listed as having family rooms in an on-line article that I've got listed within the text:<BR><BR>HOTEL DEGRES DE NOTRE DAME in the 5th arrondissement (in the historic Latin Quarter). I stayed there March 2001. It is very close to Notre Dame (some rooms have views) and definitely within walking distance of many sights (Mus&eacute;e Louvre, Notre Dame, Ste-Chapelle, riverboats, Shakespeare & Co. plus a great little souvenir shop around the corner on the Quai de Montebello). <BR>My room (#48 on the 3rd or 4th floor?) went for 600 ff, $86 per night (includes free breakfast) for 2 twins pushed together (I think it was meant to be a double) in a fairly large room (large for Paris) with a desk and glossy hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, lovely wool oriental rugs, with a perfect little view of Notre Dame thru double-glazed windows curtained by floor-to-ceiling brocade drapes; amenities include TV, hair drier, en suite bathroom with bath & shower and radiator. It was very, very nice, in a well-situated, centrally located, safe area. My room was very clean and the hotel entrance is across from a pedestrianized charming, little square. If you’re interested, attached is a couscous-type bar/restaurant that, I understand, stays open all night except for Sunday (which helps if you come back famished from sightseeing and you don’t feel like going out to eat). <BR><BR>The hotel has no website you will need to fax directly to Nichole who is fluent in English; fax # is as follows:<BR>Fax#: (33) 01 40 46 95 34<BR><BR>I found this review on the web before I went to assure that it would be nice: <BR>http://washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/travel/features/parishotels041899.htm<BR><BR>I located this hotel in “Charming Small Hotel Guides (Paris and around)”. <BR><BR>Enjoy Paris! I did!<BR>

Thank you all for your help!

Greg<BR>you can do a search here on the Palais Bourbon and find that it is very popular with families, and has some family-sized rooms
