Looking For a Cheap Room in Paris? This Might Do The Trick
Seems the literary-minded Le Pavillon de Lettres isn't the only small hotel making a splash on the Paris hotel scene. In this month's issue of Budget Travel magazine, there's a roundup of six stays that actually deserve the boutique title. And they mean boutique - the biggest is the 39-room Hotel de la Paix, a renovated 19th-century guest house in the 14th arrondissement.
But having just spent a long weekend in the 9th, we're most fired up about BT's recommendation of A Room In Paris, a five-chambre spot near the Gare du Nord, and thus conveniently located for guests parachuting in from London or the train from Charles de Gaulle for short stays. The good eating particularly caught our eye:
Each morning, [owner Peet] Verrest lays out a spread made up of meats and cheeses, his own bread and preserves (rhubarb, apricot, plum), and homemade treats like a clafoutis de Limoges tart
The rooms come with high ceilings, marble fireplaces and lots of space (up to 300 square feet) to show off the original 19th century wooden flooring, and there are plenty of antiques scattered around. No wonder the reviews on TripAdvisor are pretty glowing.
Prices start at just 75 euro ($103) and include free wi-fi and the breakfast spread.
