Hello zitalee,

I can recommend a hostel I stayed in last summer: Auberge Internationale des Jeunes (http://www.aijparis.com). It was only 17E a night for a dorm-style room with bunk beds for four people. They also have double rooms available (not sure of the price) in the Bastille Hostel, which is right next door and connected to AIJ by an indoor hallway. The place is clean; the staff is friendly. And breakfast is included.

It%26#39;s in the 11e arrondissement, near the Rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine, equidistant from Place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation. The neighborhood is busy but safe. It isn%26#39;t near many tourist destinations, but the front door is about 5 minutes from the métro, which connects you to everything! A ten minute métro ride separates you from the city center.

If I was going with my boyfriend for his birthday,, I would not want a dorm room,.LOL

Try %26quot;Hotel Perfect%26quot; cheap , decent location, and has private rooms either with own WC or with shared WC , so at least you can save money but still have a private bedroom.

You might also consider the Hotel Esmeralda, zitalee, which is very central for bargain prices (around 70 euro a night for two without breakfast but with a view of Notre Dame from the window). It is other-worldly and highly romantic.

Riotstar i just cant seem to find a web address for the Hotel Esmeralda. How do I locate them to book?

k0lkatan,

Unfortunatly the Hotel Esmeralda doesn%26#39;t HAVE a website at all - unusual in this day and age I know, but it is an old fashioned sort of place all round (no TVs/kettles in the rooms etc).

The telephoen number is +33 (0)1 4354 1920 and when we were there the staff spoke excellent English. Hope that helps.

Thanks Riotstar
