Paris for my birthday!

My sister and I are going to Paris for my 21st birthday (end of March), but as she is broke I am financing the trip! Im therefore looking for somewhere spectacular, but cheap (£50-80 per night)? Does anyone have any suggestions? I%26#39;ve never been to Paris before, and am just a bit nervous about booking an independent hotel and ending up somewhere really dodgy so any recommendations would be great!Many thanks

You won%26#39;t get spectacular for £80, but that doesn%26#39;t mean you have to stay in a fleapit either. I stayed in the Grands Blvds area just before Christmas and loved it. Great restaurants, and great transport links within 5 minutes walk.

Try this link for starters.

Is this the sort of thing you want?

Booking direct with the hotel is nothing to be nervous about and often the prices are better. Also no agents to mess things up!

Ther%26#39;s a wealth of info on this forum - try a search in the white box just below the green banner at the top of the page on any topic you%26#39;re interested in- you will get loads of hits and will probably end up with square eyes!

Have fun.

We had some starving students visit recently and we put them into the Hotel Nivernais on the rue du Bac int he 7th. The hotel is okay, but the neighborhood is fantastic, lots of cafes, bars and restaurants. Walking distance to tons of stuff.

I can recommend this hotel in the 11th arrondissement - just round the corner from Place de la République - easy transport, metro within 200 meters.

Supermarket across the street. Lots of cafés and good restaurants close by and near both Canal Saint Martin and the Oberkampf area.

It is very cheap (67 euro for a twin room) - and very clean, it is really a bargain.

See if you can get a twin room on the top floor.

NB! With the windows open at night there will be some traffic noise, but as you come from London I guess you are used to it.
