Ah,Paris! I hope you enjoyed the city. Mind me asking what they soaked you for per night with breakfast? We paid about 80 without breakfast for a place near the Gare du Nord / Gare de l’Est when were were there mid-May. Nice neighbourhood, surprisingly quiet room. With Paris hotels I think unless you’re going into the 200 – 300 a night range you get really quirky places and service. The lifts are famously tiny – our room actually sloped! We had to re-do the bedding so we weren’t sleeping with our feet higher than our heads. It was also small, but the bathroom had super-modern fixtures and the place was clean, so we didn’t mind. I fetched croissants and we brought our own coffee, filter and kettle. You don’t get much more for breakfast usually, and we saved €16 for the two of us per day that way.
@Ian: We had a really great time, thanks. We ended up paying just under 120€/night, breakfast included (bought it through a reseller, so no way to negotiate – I think the price statement on the door said breakfast was normally 14€). I had stayed in a place on my last visit to Paris in 2004 that was sketchy, so I resolved to pay more and feel safer this time. I don’t think the hotel alone was worth the amount we paid, but the area was very nice.
RT @Residentonearth: Ticket counter guy thought my FRA baggage tag meant I was going to France.

A little bird told me (Cliff) that you might go back in summer. I was thinking the same! Maybe we should meet up…things to think about!
