i%26#39;m planning a trip to paris and have no idea were to stay. I may be traveling with my friend or on my own. would like any suggestions on any good affordable hotel that are resonalby close to sights and nightlife of course.

It would be most helpful if you can state your nightly hotel budget in euro.

hi Paris

I was only hoping to spend 150 to a maximum 200 australian dollars. I%26#39;m not sure what that would be converted to Euros.

I always recommend the http://www.hotel-lelaumiere.com/index-gb.htm

I%26#39;ve stayed there 3 or 4 times, Its always clean, only 4 stops on the metro from Gare du nord, and the metro is literally 20 metres from the hotel. It%26#39;s nice and quiet, and you have the amazing Parc des Buttes about 200m away. Plenty of restaurants and shops in the area, a really nice Paris suburban experience. All the staff speak english, but like most french people, appreciate a bonjour or bon soir in good Australian. Not a lot of nighlife in the area, but its only 20 minute from the centre. If youre a Sydneysider think of it as staying on the north shore...........

It%26#39;s 62eur (a spit over 100AUD) a night, add breakfast to that. I usually have a croissant and a coffee at the bat across the street, but the 8euro brakfast is really quite good ( I tried in xmas 2004)

um - for %26quot;bat%26quot; read bar...........

Izza, on current exchange rates you are talking 95 to 125 Euros - enough for something pleasant but not OTT. The Hotel de Nice in a good area of the Marais opposite Hotel de Ville is my recommendation. I have stayed there 3 times. The price of a twin or double is 105 Euros and eat breakfast out - try Contini at 42 rue des Rosiers for the best almond croissants and good coffee - or anywhere else.

Avoid the twins that have long narrow rooms with beds toe to toe - they are ok for one but not really for two - they are rooms 15 and 16 and possibly others. Ask if they have a twin facing rue de Rivoli on the 4th or 5th floors (lift from the 1st floot) as they have double french doors with %26quot;Juliet%26quot; balconies and are really nice.
