Where are some cheap places to stay in Paris and London?

Question

I'm going with a friend for about 2-3 days on each place. Where are some good places to check out? What's cheap and good (such as close to the tourist areas). I found some places for under $30/night/person...but I have no idea if it's far away or not.

Thanks in advance

If you want something basic, try a youth hostel (see www.hostelworld.com). If you want a good value hotel, try www.hotelclub.net.
