Hello- Daughter and friend are traveling to Paris and hoping to stay 3 nights. They have a budget of about $120 per night. Any suggestions on hotels would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I've heard good things about this hostel: http://www.mije.com/index_individuels_uk.asp

There are three all in the heart of Paris. Very clean. Very nice. Very safe.

We just booked the Hotel Familia for 112 euro/night in early May. Centrally located, Left Bank, looks quite nice - hope so!

Hi Maria, There's also Hotel Jeanne D'Arc, and Hotel de L'Avre.
And the hospital next to Notre Dame has a hotel that is inexpensive that I've heard good things about, the hospital is called Hotel Dieu (you could google it). Also, check out this thread and especially the first response from Pat. She always has a list of good hotels, you could send her a PM if you'd like.

Ruth- the hotel looks really nice...

Susan- thank you for all the info. I'm saving the links...might want to go myself next year. They made reservations at hotel empereur EU 120...a bit over their budget, but it has good reviews, private bath, free Internet and great location. The hostel you suggested looked really nice, but some reviewers found bed bugs.

Remember that bed bugs are brought in by the tourists. Sometimes they collect them on the plane.

Hotels world wide suffer.

Even the best places can suffer with them.
