The French government has a 1- 5 star system that rates a hotel based on its amenities. At Paris Escapes, we primarily choose to stay in 3 star hotels. 3 stars are in good locations, are required by law to have English speaking staff, and tend to offer good value for our money. 3 stars have clean and comfortable rooms, but no elaborate lobbies, on-site restaurants, or gift shops.
Paris is a city that you beckons you to take to the streets. We find its not worth the money to stay in a 4 or 5 star, when you're not going to be spending much time on the property except to sleep.
Paris has a multitude of small hotels at rates more reasonable than you will find in the US or other European capitals, like London. Our primary criteria for choosing a hotel is location. We pick an area of the city that we would like to explore (e.g., the Marais, Left Bank, Central Paris) and choose from the options available in that area. Our time in Paris is too short to spend on travel time to and from our hotel.
We list our recommended hotels below. The majority of these hotels contain detailed reviews giving our personal impressions and sleep ratings related to our stay there.
