Hotel Saphir Grenelle, Paris

Advantages: Cheap (by Parisian standards), location not bad, quiet and safe area
Disadvantages: Tiny room, bed a bit worn out, cold bathroom

...Goal Our goal for a hotel in Paris this time was to find a decent hotel at a low price and centrally located. There are thousands of hotels in Paris and it is not easy to know which site to use to book a hotel and which area to stay in. I'm not sure how we narrowed it down to Tim hotel Tour Eiffel but our checking included reading some reviews at TripAdvisor and it looked like it fit our profile. We booked through the hotel's homepage directly and we paid an average of 86 € per night for the room (a total of 608 €) for the week. The hotel It was very easy to find the hotel when we came to Paris. We arrived at the metro station Dupleix and the hotel entrance was located just a minute walk around the corner. Check in was fast and we got room 41 on the 4th floor. The reception was typical for a small hotel in a European city - pretty... Read review

...After we had booked all of our holidays for this year we realised that Jay had a day off work left over, so we thought that instead of him taking it off and doing nothing with it, we would spend a weekend in Paris. Trawling around the various websites, we came across the Europe Hotel, which was reasonably priced and seemed to be of a good standard judging by other reviews.

When we arrived in Paris, we had to make our own way to the hotel, and after a bit of confusion, we finally made it to the hotel. Location = The Europe Hotel is situated on the Boulevard de Grenelle, right next to the La Motte Picquet Grenelle Metro Station. It is around a 600 meter walk from the Eiffel Tower and being on the Metro... Read review

...My boyfriend and I travelled by Eurostar to Paris last summer and I can truly say it was the most wonderful holiday we have ever experienced. Disneyland Paris was the first stop and it is far more attractive than its American counterparts. We had to take the metro to Paris and carrying our luggage up four flights of escalators was a struggle, but it was worth it. Our first hotel was a great disappointment - Hotel Favart. It was a total dump and we were only allowed to leave and cancel our reservation after I flooded the lobby with tears. A very fast taxi journey took us to Hotel California on Rue de Berri, just of the Champs Elyesse. I will never forget turning the corner at the Place De la Concorde and seeing the Arc de Triomphe for the first time. Forget the Eiffel - Paris is about architecture and the Arc is incredible. I could go... Read review
