Inexpensive Hotels in Paris

Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world; that's especially true at night. The burgeoning international metropolis certainly lives up to its namesake of being called the City of Lights, and it is one of the most exciting travel destinations in the world. With the privilege of traveling to Paris comes the reality that a lot of money must be spent on taxi cabs, cafes and tourist attractions. To save money where it really matters, find inexpensive accommodations.

The Hotel Paris Etoile Best Western Saint-Ferdinand

The Hotel Paris Etoile Best Western Saint-Ferdinand is located in the northwest section of downtown Paris. The hotel is located just five blocks away from the Parc de Monceau, and it's less than a mile from the Universite Paris Dauphine. Most importantly, it's very close to the Louvre. The museum can easily take up an entire day. This is one of the least expensive hotels in Paris, even if it's on the outskirts of downtown.

The Hotel du College de France

The Hotel Lyon Mulhouse East of Downtown

The Hotel Lyon Mulhouse is in eastern Paris. Apart from being incredibly inexpensive, it's conveniently located just a few blocks away from a beautiful opera house, the Opera Bastille. It's also close to the museum dedicated to Picasso. Use the money you saved to treat yourself to one or both of these things.

Mama Shelter

A mile east of the Lyon Mulhouse is Mama Shelter. It's just on the outskirts of town, but taxi cabs are far less expensive than hotels within walking distance of everything. It's also conveniently located next to the Hopital de la Croix Saint-Simon in case there's an accident. A beautiful cemetery, the Cimitiere du Pere Lachaise, is across the street for your walking pleasure. This is the perfect hotel accommodation for families or larger groups.

Mama Shelter is located at:
109, rue de Bagnolet
