Seeking Paris hotel recs based on personal experience
Fodors Friends: I'm posting for friends visiting Paris for the first time (and on fairly short notice) and looking for a hotel close to major tourist attractions in the better two star and lower end three star price range. Larger rooms and an elevator would be big pluses for this couple. I can't recommend any places I've stayed because the rooms are too small.
Any assistance based on personal experience will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help! Saige

I always book room 6 at the Danube on Rue Jacob, the room is quite large but I'm not sure if it is one of the air conditioned ones. It certainly is centrally located , with lots of shops , services and bistros nearby. Walking distane to D'Orsay, Louvre, Notre Dame, Luxembourgh Gardens Rodin, Champs de Mar, etc

Underhill, the Danube has added AC to some of the rooms when they renovated. It shows which ones on their website. We always travel in March, October and November so that is one less thing to worry about for us

We stayed at the Hotel du College de France a few weekends ago and enjoyed our visit very much - close to metro stations and within walking distance of a number of major attractions. Cost was 107 euros per night not including breakfast. The room was not huge but there was plenty of space to store our belongings. There was a ceiling fan in our room. The building also had a lift.
All reception staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We'd definitely stay there again.
