I'm in my mid-20s and will be in Paris for a few nights in August. I've narrowed down my hotel choices to 6 - can you help me decide? Close walking distance to sights is important as is nightlife right by the hotel. All of these have AC. Thank you!

1) Hotel Tourisme (66, Av. de la Motte-Picquet; about a block from the Eiffel Tower): 85 Euros, corner double room with bathtub

2) Le Relais du Marais (76 Rue De Turbigo; Marais area): 87 Euros, standard double room with shower

3) Grand Hotel Leveque (29 rue Cler; Rue Cler area): 90 Euros, standard double room with shower facing back of hotel - I heard it can smell like cheese from the fromagerie close by?

4) Hotel des Mines (125, Boulevard Saint Michel; Latin Quarter): 85 Euros, double room with bath

5) Hotel Residence Monge (55, rue Monge; close to Notre Dame): 88 Euros for double room with shower

6) Atel Louvre Marsoiller Opera (13, rue Marsollier; 5 min walk from Louvre): 100 Euros for double room with shower

  1. Definitely the last one; as it is very centrally located and in walking distance from many sights and jsut around the corner from the main metro line (which will take you to the otehr sights/trainstation and airport).

    I hav enot stayed at this hotel but in one in the same area and it was really great as there are some great little places to have dinner or a coffee. Just around the corner of the tuileries (which is fun when the weather is nice just look at the people passing by while having your lunch) Also just 10 minutes from the other major museums.. No really I would go for this one. So BON SEJOUR ET BONNES VACANCES

  2. It depends on what you want to do in Paris.

    Anyway, the easier for commuting everywhere is N° 6 because near Opera, and Rue Marsollier is a quiet street.

    But if you want to stay in a young area, N°4 can be good. The problem is Boulevard Saint Michel is a noisy street even at night.

    The others are probably good hotels too but probably less easy to visit Paris.

    N°1 Avenue de la Motte Piquet is a residential area.

  3. Distance isn't really that much of a problem in central Paris. The metro system is really quite good and runs until after 1am - even later on Saturdays. But if you really get stuck out, all of the addresses you mention are well situated except for number1. The Eifflel Tower is not really central. Since you are intrested in night life, go for the latin quarter or the marais area. Any of the ones from 2 to 5. Even 6. 1 is the only one not to bother with.

  4. I'll choose no.6, without no shadow of doubt. Bon voyage !

  5. I think the Hotel des Mines has the best location of the 6.

  6. I'd go for No.6
