Budget vacation lodging Paris, France

A few reviews on vacation lodging in Paris

When I was looking for budget vacation lodging Paris and hotel accommodation for friends, I always asked my friends to let me know what they thought about each place they stayed in. That way I would know whether to recommend the place to the next set of friends [and there was always plenty of those arriving from half way round the world most weekends].

My Own Personal Review of Hotel St Andre des Arts!

I found this marvellous old hotel whilst walking around Saint Michel in Paris during my holiday, and was thrilled they had 2 nights available at the end of my trip.

The building dates back to the 17th Century – that’s right – it’s 400+ years old! When a building is so old full of such history, there will be some quirks, but that’s all part of the charm. The wooden stairwell [no elevator] has sloping stairs, but after so much use, they would lose their ‘charm factor’ if they were modernised. I felt like I was in Shakespeare’s era, looking at the exposed wooden beams throughout.

My room was on the first floor [remember, no heavy bags as there is no elevator] and was simply furnished with double bed, desk and chair, with high windows looking out over Rue Andre Mazet.

The toilet and shower took up the minimum amount of space possible [as do all the bathrooms in these centuries-old buildings] and was relatively new.

I loved being in a hotel in the heart of Saint Michel, with restaurants, bars, pubs, shops … everything … outside the front door. Interesting staff, very helpful. Absolutely perfect!
