Value… Close to the Eiffel Tower.

Paris is an extraordinary city to visit, and as a tourist, you may belong to the category of the people-who-want-to-stay-close-to-the-Eiffel-Tower, and I understand you! But you already know it : Staying close to the Eiffel Tower is expensive because it’s probably the most touristy area of Paris!

And yet, there are a few hotels close to the Eiffel Tower where you can stay without breaking the bank.  So, I decided to make a selection of my top budget hotels, close to the Eiffel Tower. Here’s my list :

Hotel Europe Hotel ( 16 minutes on foot from the Eiffel Tower ) : Located on the Boulevard de Grenelle, this is a cosy little hotel, offering comfortable rooms and a pleasant service. The metro station “La motte-Picquet” is 2 minutes from the hotel, and thanks to one of its 3 metro lines you can easily reach the other attractions of Paris.

Hotel Regina Eiffel ( 11 minutes on foot from the ET ) : This hotel, located on rue de la Tour, offers to the customers a really warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are pretty, charming and quiet, and the staff is really kind. Around the hotel, you will discover some delightful (but a bit expensive) restaurants such as La Petite Tour.

Hotel de l’Alma ( 11 minutes on foot from the ET ) : Located rue de l’Exposition, this hotel is right next to the Champs de Mars, and some rooms enjoy a view of the Eiffel Tower! The staff is very professionnal and always ready to help the customers. As for the breakfast, start the day with a copious and tasty meal, low-priced!

Now you are aware of these good values, you just have to book and enjoy Paris in a new way!

Location, style and a lovely atmosphere

It is difficult to beat the location of the 3-star Hotel Des Ducs D’Anjou – it’s in the heart of the 1st district, within an easy ten-minute walk from some of the main attractions of Paris, such as the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Pompidou Center, the lively and charming quarters of the Marais, Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain. It’s a neighbourhood steeped in history, and the hotel itself is in a historic building, renovated beautifully and mixing contemporary with traditional.

An elegant reception and lounge area greets the visitor, with bold colours, a combination of modern and classic furniture, a rustic exposed stone wall. As far as the style of the rooms is concerned, the choice is rather eclectic. There is a wide range of rooms and suites, and even a penthouse with a roof-top terrace. The rooms are modern, colourful and charming, each with its individual style and design. The suites are more classic in look, and some of them have their own private balcony with a view of the Paris skyline. For those who want to splurge a bit, however, the penthouse can offer a real luxury: it’s a strikingly contemporary apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, solarium, a roof-top terrace and a 360° view of Paris.

Whether you stay in a room, suite or the penthouse, a unique designer style and a fantastic atmosphere is guaranteed for sure. Plus the location is superb, and – considering all this – the rates are quite reasonable. For a memorable stay Hotel Des Ducs D’Anjou is definitely a place to consider.

Excellent value boutique hotel in elegant Paris quarter

Situated in the upmarket and elegant Wagramdistrict, not far from the Arc de Triomphe, the MonceauPark, Champs Elysees and the business center of Palais des Congres, the 3-star Hotel Champerret-Elysees is a cute independent Parisboutique hotel. The hotel is known for its great services and friendly staff, but also for its very attractive prices. The hotel is not in the very center of Paris, but the location is quite central and transportation is very convenient. Those who’d rather stay in a quiet neighborhood, instead of the noisy and sometimes vulgar tourist central, the location is just perfect. There is a metro stop right outside the hotel – Porte de Champerret – and another few metro and RER stations within few minutes of walk. Tree-lined wide boulevards and avenues criss-cross the quarter, there are many classy restaurant but also cheaper buffets and cafés, and shops of all kind. It is a great base to explore the sights, monuments and museums of Paris, but the hotel is also ideal for business visitors as it is near Congress Palace and the Défense business district.

The hotel itself is one of those little secrets of Paris, a gem of a boutique hotel. It is classic in style, providing an elegant and cosy atmosphere. A peaceful lounge opens from the reception area, offering a comfortable place to relax. There is also a little bar for those who would like to meet other travelers or have a quiet drink by themselves. The staff, both at the reception and in the bar, is extremely friendly and helpful – service is one of the strengths of Hotel Champerret-Elysees. Services – apart from the expected elevator, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, telephone, TV and so on – also include some extras, such as baby sitting, laundry service, games and film hire. The hotel also has rooms accessible to people with disabilities, a well-equipped business center and an excursion desk to help visitors organize tours, theatres and restaurants. The rooms are simple yet elegant and classy, and very homely. Decorated with warm and soft colors, they provide comfort, peace and quiet for guests.

Although Hotel Champerret-Elysees is a 3-star establishment, it offers rooms for as low as Paris budget hotels do, but the services and amenities are of a high class hotel. If you don’t mind using the metro to get around the city, in exchange you’ll get an elegant, peaceful location and excellent value for your money.
