In terms of hotels and hostels, the capacity and diversity of establishments never ceases to grow. According to the last counting there are more than 76,000 hotel rooms in Paris, of which 40 % are 3-star level. Compared to other big cities, accommodation is not very expensive in Paris and you can still get a hostel for 20 €, a budget hotel for 50 €, and a comfortable 3-star for 75 €.

As hotels in Paris are often heavily booked, it’s wise to reserve well ahead of time. Booking at the internet, you’ll obtain special – lower – fares. Try for instance Momondo’s hotel search engine for price comparision and take a look at travel community site TripAdvisor where other travellers leave comments on the hotels.
