Simple, clean and darned cheap, this little gem may just be the best deal in Paris. Just off the Rue Montorgeuil in the vibrant hub of the hip 2nd arrondissement, your hotel room probably won’t see much of you anyway. With cosy singles starting from only 30€ a night and pleasant, decent-sized doubles from 50€, you can save your bucks for more important matters, like spending up a storm in the nearby shops, bars and cafés in the Rue Etienne-Marcel and beyond. Rooms are quiet and comfortable with reasonably sized bathrooms, breakfast is served in your room, and views are over the street (preferable) or courtyard. Paris’s best-kept secret has a serious inside following, so make sure you book at least a month in advance.
