Budget
Young and Happy Hostel
A hit with young travellers, the young and happy exists to save you money. The rooms are just as basic as can be, but clean unlike the average one-star. The location is hard to beat if you are looking for a nice evening out. The risk though is that if you party too much you won't see much else of Paris. Oh, English is the lingua-franca here.
Hôtel du Commerce
The rooms are tiny, but cheap, especially for the location, just a stone's throw from Notre Dame. The hotel provides a shared kitchen area if you would like to save even more money by cooking some of the time, there are markets both nearby and over the hill on rue Mouffetard, so this is a good idea for budget travellers. Although they do have exactly one pricier room equipped with a shower, the rest of the rooms share a brand-new shower facility near the reception.
Hôtel Esmerelda
An excellent example of what happens when a "find" hotel is discovered by the travel guides, the Esmerelda has lost none of it's charm but the prices have crept up into nearly the two-star range, and you'll have to book ahead by at least a couple of months in the high season or around the winter holidays. On the plus side the place really does deserve the attention and solid bookings, as it really is super charming, the welcome couldn't possibly be better and it's still on the cheap side. Try not to trip over the ample knick-knacks in your room, which will likely be named after a French singing star.
Port-Royal-Hôtel
Great hotel right next to the Rue Mouffetard and its market. Whimsical rooms decorated in rich floral patterns.
Midrange
Hôtel Familia
As with the Minerve below, each of the rooms in this family run two-star is decorated with a unique medievalist mural by the artist Gérald Pritchard. This combined with the antique furniture gives the place some real character. If you are lucky enough to get a room with a balcony ask! you can enjoy your breakfast overlooking the courtyard or the street.
Hôtel Minerve
While not quite the bargain it was a couple of years ago when it was erroneously classified as a two-star, the properly three-star Minerve is a family run operation the same family as the Familia next door. It's worth staying here just to enjoy the antique-stuffed lobby and the individual murals which adorn each of the rooms. The rooms are all air-conditioned, and the bathtubs (if your room has one are huge. Watch your elbows in the tiny elevator though!
Hôtel de l'Esperance
This quirky little little family run hotel just off of Place Contrescarp and the rue Mouffetard has some really good value rooms, especially up on the top floor. The young staff gets high ratings, as does the proprietress even with her very limited English, though it's sometimes best to avoid the proprietor depending on mood.
Hotel Cujas Pantheon
A small and tidy hotel situated on a quiet side street right beside the Sorbonne university and at a 5 minutes walking distance from the nearest métro station Cluny-La Sorbonne and the Panthéon.
Hotel Parc Saint Severin
This hotel is located in a pedestrian street away from the noise and only one minute from the heart of the Quartier Latin and lively restaurants.
Maitre Albert B&B
This lovely bed & breakfast, facing a floral courtyard, is at the second floor of a grand old building located in the historical part of Paris. At the end of Maître Albert's street are the river, the island and the glory of Notre Dame! Prices range from 95 ⬠per night for two people including breakfast.
Top end
