Good, cheap hotels in Paris do exist, but you have to ask yourself what your comfort level is — can you share a bathroom, live without high-speed Internet or fluffy pillows?
You also have to know where to look.
Certain areas like Montmartre and neighborhoods in the 13th, 14th and 15th Arrondissements, that are further away from the center of things, have a number of low-priced hotels. But, there are a few good cheap hotels in Paris' central areas. To keep your cost as low as possible, you may have to shop around for the best dates as well.
It's an expensive city and most Paris low-cost hotels will have few extras and basic décor. But if saving money is important here's the Paris Insiders Guide Under-100-Euro Selection. (Or close to it, anyway!) You'll find cheap, clean, basic and reliable hotels.
We often find the best rates at Booking.com, and there are direct links to their prices on some of our hotel reviews.
Unless you're staying at a higher-end place, don't eat breakfast in your hotel. Instead, enjoy a coffee and croissant at a local café, or buy some baking from a local boulangerie. You'll save money and usually get better quality and selection.
