1) Modern Hôtel Montmartre ** – the cheapest
Area : Montmartre – Pigalle
3, rue Forest, 75018 PARIS
For a budget hotel, the Modern Hôtel is very well-placed. It is at the heart of Montmartre’s lively mood, next to the Moulin Rouge, where you can be immersed in the life of the Paris of yore for as long as you stay. Thanks to Place de Clichy station (on lines 2 and 13), you can very quickly be in the Champs-Elysées, Saint Lazare station, or even the Père Lachaise Cemetery.
The hotel has 37 rooms, with a simple yet warm decor quite opposed to the cold rooms of some hotels. Four different types of rooms are available, depending on whether you travel alone or with your family. Every room is equipped with a TV, free Wi-Fi, a desk, and a bathroom (with a shower or a bathtub). You will hence have whatever you need to rest after your visits or your meetings.
The staff is always available and will book shows, restaurants, or taxis for you if you ask. A bar is opened all day long. It is a budget hotel, yet everything you need is there!
Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, the Modern Hôtel proposes a continental breakfast every morning and, of course, national and international newspapers so that you will not miss anything, even from the other side of the world.

The Cabourg was founded in 1978 and its age gives it a true and authentic charm, with a pinch of modernity. The rooms were renovated a few years ago in such a way as to bring you comfort and as to make sure you lack nothing. They contain a private bathroom (shower or bathtub), a desk, a wardrobe, and a television. Most of them are spacious and you could (almost) feel as if you were in a five-star hotel. You can even have a a room with four sleeping spots to come to Paris with the whole family.

The Hipotel Paris Belgrand Mairie du 20e is in the North-East of Paris, just 5 minutes away from the Père-Lachaise Cemetery where you can walk between the graves of the most famous stars, such as Edith Piaf or Henri Salvador. Half a mile away from the hotel is the Gambetta’s quarter and its numerous restaurants, pubs, and cinemas to fill your evenings after your long walks in the city.
This part of the city is a little bit away from downtown, but it is really delightful and not often visited by tourists. It is exactly what you need! Its situation is also the reason for such small prices and it is the occasion to discover a not-so-famous area of Paris. Among the 27 rooms, prefer those of the upper floors, with a better view and away from the car traffic.
The rooms are not sophisticated but are comfortable, with everything you need to relax after a long day of tourism. They are soundproof and include a bathroom (shower or bathtub), a phone, and a television.

The nearest metro station is Brochant (line 13) and will take you to the main axes of the city: Montparnasse, the Champs-Elysées but also Saint Lazare station and the numerous shops around it.
This small family hotel is located in a very Parisian building, and its warm decoration will help you feel at home.

They all include a bathroom with a hair dryer, a shower, and a WC, and some of them even have a balcony (ask for one of those!).
The loft, on the other hand, works like an apartment hotel. It is a duplex with a living space, a dining space, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a sofa beside the bed.
If you can’t bear to stay in your room (except for those who choose the loft, maybe), the hotel does have a living room in which you can work, read, or take the morning’s newspapers. Speaking of morning, a full breakfast made out of fresh products is served every day in a bright dining room to begin your day the best way possible!
