small Paris hotel 6 or 7 Arr
 

Three days in Paris in September before heading down to Provence. Any recommendations for small hotels in 6 or 7th arrondissement ?

I highly recommend Relais Christine in the 6th, close to the 5th. Have stayed there twice in the last two years. It's on a quiet lane off of Rue Dauphne, very close to the Seine (Pont Neuf), walking distance to Notre Dame, the Louvre and just a block from St Germain Blvd. Lots of good restaurants nearby.

By small, I understand small, clean and not expensive.
If it corresponds, here some recommendations :

Paix (hotel de la) 19 Rue du Gros Caillou 7e
Chopin passage Jouffroy 6e
Clément 6e
Lys (hotel du) Rue Serpente 6e
Tourisme Avenue (hotel) 66 Avenue de la Motte-Picquet 7e

Chopin is very small, very charmin in a small 'passage couvert' (an alley inside buidings).
Clément is superbly situated and quite nice..
Lys is very old and 'à colombages'...
Tourisme is just outside La Motte Grenelle Métro station.
Hotel de la paix was the cheapest of those. Less than 100 €.

mvg.

We have stayed at Hôtel de Fleurie several times . . near the Odeon Metro

<i>Chopin is very small, very charmin in a small 'passage couvert' (an alley inside buidings).</i>

All true except that the Hotel Chopin is in the 9th, a good distance from the 6th and even farther from the 7th. Otherwise it´s a great suggestion if that is what the OP wants.

Unless the OP decides to give some guidance on his budget window, making all of these suggestions could prove fruitless.

Muguet in the 7th.

7th- Hotel7Eiffel on rue Amelie

Hotel D'Aubusson on rue danube, around the corner from Relais Christine. Have stayed at both, but prefer the D'Aubusson.

Agree with Fleurie. Also Louis II near the Odeon Metro or Le Relais St Germain. It would help to know your price range.

Hotel Saint Vincent-6th
BW Au Manoir St. Germain-6th

Relais St. Germain-6th

Chopin is indeed in the 9th...
Thanks, Sarastro.

Hotel de L'Empereur is well-positioned, nicely renovated and reasonably priced in the 7th. I've stayed there many times, and it is consistently good. I also like its sister hotel, the Muguet, as mentioned above (which can be slightly dearer).

Both in the 7th, on the same street. I like this part of the 7th, as it is closer to the boundary of the 6th than to the Eiffel Tower.

Hotel de Varenne

Hotel du Palais Bourbon

The Varenne has one room with a Eiffel Tower view and the Palais Bourbon has a top floor room that is romantic and charming.

Hotel Muguet--near rue Cler, many many good restaurants, 4 bus routes and 2 Metro stops--all nearby.
And a view of the Eiffel Tower from some rooms.

I will be staying at the Hotel Le Walt in the 7th for the fourth time starting Dec.20 for three weeks...metro entrance practically right outside the door and many bus options. I have stayed at the Muguet many times, but had trouble getting an answer to email reservation requests. Both hotels are excellent with easy access to restaurants and cafes and both have pleasant and helpful staffs. The Bourdonnais is in the same group as the Le Walt and is very nice as well.....Vicki

Thanks to everyone for all their input. We will look for a place in a moderate price range but realize that it is after all, Paris. Proximity to the Metro was useful on prior trips.

We are staying at the Relais Bosquet in March for 9 nights. I got a great rate through Instagram. I haven't stayed at a hotel in years inParis so I'm looking forward to it.

Do not assume Paris to be so expensive. I have said many times I can eat better and cheaper in Paris than in my home town and the same is true of hotels.

If I can add one more to the mix, the Bourgogne et Montana. A lovely little hotel that was renovated about a year ago. Stylish yet comfortable. Elegant and welcoming.

Hi NSALERNO,

So many delightful hotels in Paris.

I recommend the Dauphine Saint Germain. Five minute walk to the Seine and Notre Dame. In the heart of the 6th.

Hotel L'Abbaye in the 6th. Very posh.

What exactly is a "moderate budget".. for me its about 100-130 euros( cheap for me is under 100 ) .. but for my friend it would be 150-200 euros.. and yet my daughters moderate would be under 100 euros.. ( keeping in mind a hostel would be less then 50).. so you see.. what exactly is moderate. Hotels like L'Aubusson would be my choice.. but at 250-300 0r more a night. not moderate for me. but likely moderate for others..

Yes justine, quite correct answer, as well as Sarastro's...

But we are not on TA here with some people keeping asking
- hi, budget ?
- how many nights ?
- when ?
- ah, ok ... I can't answer but I'm sure others will...

(If you see what I mean)

So, yes 'small hotel' is to be taken as low end, but clean, and I thinks that's waht people mostly answered, and to the OP to check and make a final decision.

The hotels I recommended are all around 100 e - Paris is not as expensive as it is sometimes said, and if you find a small hotel and are staying a short stay or willing to move hotels every other day, you can get exceptionnal deals on booking.com or hotels.com or direct.

Of course when my wife goes to Paris, I up my budget and we are closer to 150 e/night... We can sometimes get good deals and sleep in very good 4 stars (like the Mac Mahon) for 200 €/night coming from 600 €/night official tarrif.
Next time I'll reserve direct and try to get breakfast included, they ask for 30+ for breakfast, argh.

BTW I tried hotel Diana recently - very well situated and quite correct, I think it is one of your favourite hotels, no ? something I liked too is that they have wooden floor - I don't like carpet floor.

Please recommend something under Euro120/- for a couple including breakfast

We can stay b/w Arr2-10

thanks

Good list of hotels. Thanks.

Asimm
check my recs.
All below 120 without breakfast.
You want to save mony you don't have breakfast in hotels, you have it in cafés or at boulangeries : 1 € per croissant.

Small hotel in the 6th? I can't believe nobody has recommended the Bonaparte! After years of Ira's recommendations, we finally stayed there in October 2013.

And you know what? We liked it! We knew we'd like the area, since we had rented an apartment nearby (in 2010) when we took our granddaughter to Paris for her high school graduation present.

The location is perfect (for us, anyway.) Our room was nice and large (I think it was actually a triple.)
We walked almost everywhere.

Anyway, we found it very nice and convenient. Luxe, no, but fine.

Yes , I have stayed at the Hotel Diana.. and was happy with it.. the location is very convenient.. not near in midst of the busy hub of the Latin Quarter.. but just a few blocks away.. easy to walk to many sites.. and like that the beds had duvets instead of old pilly blankets.

You can't beat this little hotel in a great location in the 6th - rates include breakfast and use of some kitchen facilities.

I like the Clément on rue Clément, just one street south of Bvd St. Germaine, near several bus lines and metro stops. It seems reasonable to me, around 160-170€, breakfast is ample but not included.

I used to stay at the Hôtel de France on the Blvd. de la Tpur Maubourg all the time and loved it. Have no idea what the prices are these days, but it was the friendliest hotel I've ever stayed at in Paris.

Another vote for the Bonaparte.

@fuzzbucket: We too love Hotel St. Andre des Arts and would heartily recommend it to the budget traveler. However, the last time we were there (October 2015) we were chatting with the staff and have been told the it has been sold to a big investment "group" that is madly buying up property in the area. They have big plans to turn it into an upscale luxury hotel of some type. (that's going to require a lot of money!!!) At that point they didn't know of a timeline and weren't sounding positive about if they would still be employed within the year. :(

We've stayed at Hotel Clement and liked it though the rooms are very small for what you get. It's been a few years but the Hotel Welcome right across from Eglise St. Germain was a budget option as well. It does have excellent location and a lift (extremely small) which are musts for us.

Never been to Saint Andre des arts.
Should try it but I usually am disappointed when I stay in the 6th.
Really too touristy got my taste, I feel as a francophone that I am the foreigner :-).

Happy Travels!

I stayed in a Vacationsinparis flat right across from the Hotel St Andre des Arts. It looked good value for the money (I could literally see into the rooms) and I checked out the entrance one day.

Technically a pedestrian street, taxis and delivery vans can come down it. Street noise is quite exuberant until maybe 1:00-2:00 am if windows open (same with the Clément). Same almost anywhere in Paris centre, really.

Ok. I booked a room into St Andre des Arts.
Will yell if I don't like it.
:-)

Also stayed at Hotel Fleurie. Good location- -rooms fairly small. Also stayed at Citadines Quai Augustin--Higher priced but great location - across the street from the Seine and close to St. Michel metro stop, Notre Dame,etc

We stayed at La Bourdonnais, mentioned above, back in 1994 on our first trip to Paris as a married couple. It was then a somewhat dated but comfortable 3-star hotel. It's since been renovated and is now a modern 4-star property. We decided to try out the new version for a week this winter. The rate for their largest non-suite double is 204 euros per night, which covers the room (upper floor with balcony and view of the Eiffel Tower), taxes, wifi, and breakfast. For a 4-star property in that area, we consider the rate moderate and reasonable. And hooray, there will be no jet lag on this trip (three-hour direct train ride v 12-hour flight with two plane changes)
