After two or three days in Paris, one thing becomes clear: this city is out to get your wallet. Between cafés where a black coffee costs more than a sandwich back home and museum tickets rising faster than inflation, you’ve got to play it smart if you don’t want to be financially floored before your trip is even halfway through. And finding a nice place to sleep without blowing your budget? Even harder. Or so you thought.
What are hotel prices like in Paris?
Yes, let’s get this out the way first. A cheap room in a pricey city like Paris isn’t going to be cheap from every perspective. Hotel prices here are steep – up there with London, New York and the rest of it – so it’s good to set out what your budget constraints are first. For this list, we’ve only included hotels that come in under €150 per night. For two people, that’s pretty well-priced by Parisian standards. And it’s worth saying that these hotels are ones you’ll actually want to stay in: no grim dorms or sketchy showers in sight.
