Paris Concert (Live At The Theatre Du Chatlet) - Richard Galliano

A Great Base for Exploring Paris

Advantages: Location, Price, Staff
Disadvantages: Uphill walk

The Comfort Hotel Place Du Tertre is located in the Montmartre area of Paris and is a stone?s throw away from the Sacre Coeur church in one direction and the world famous Moulin Rouge cabaret club in the other. The nearest metro station is Blanche, which is on the blue (number two) line and connects straight to the main train station, Gard Du Nord, which makes it very easily accessible from the airport. From the metro station it is around a five minute walk uphill to the hotel. This, coupled with the cobbled streets and uneven pavements, will make it unsuitable for those with walking difficulties. In fact, I would say that this hotel in general isn?t wheelchair friendly; whilst it has a lift, it doesn?t service all floors and is extremely small ? we found that two of us fit in at a push (and we aren?t exactly big people ...

Review of Comfort Hotel Place du Tertre, Paris

Good Base for 'Swanning' around Paris

Advantages: Cheap, central
Disadvantages: Very small and very basic

Having stayed in some very out of the way places in Rome and Prague this last year, when we were planning our trip to Paris I wanted to make sure we'd be within walking distance of at least some of the main sights and hopefully some bars and restaurants too. I was shocked at the price of hotels though so when scanning through the Superbreak website for the cheapest deals in certain arrondissements , I happened upon the Hotel du Cygne (or The Swan Hotel). A bit more research on Trip Advisor and it seemed this was about the best we were going to get for our budget. According to the website, the Hotel du Cygne is "part of a restored genuine 17th Century building that is located in the heart of the city, the old and historical section of Paris" furnished with "wooden period furniture carefully gathered from years of going round ...

Review of Hotel du Cygne, Paris

Budget accomodation in a 'lively' area of Paris

Advantages: Well located for the Metro,cheap
Disadvantages: A bit tatty,extremely basic,noisy at night

. Said bar was actually at the foot of our hotel ?L?Hôtel du Chat Noir? (in English ?The Black Cat hotel'). We looked up at the shabby looking building and shrugged, at £100 for a double room for 3 nights we weren?t expecting the Ritz. Entering the lobby I was reminded of the description given when I booked the rooms through octopus travel: ?The lobby is very small, consisting of a narrow corridor leading to a small reception desk. There is one lift leading to all floors.? This is not an inaccurate description, although it fails to capture the innate shabbiness of it all. The bloke at the desk was not unfriendly, however and he handed over our keys to room 79 (yes, on the seventh floor) with politeness considering the late hour. I looked at the stairs with dread but thankfully the man pointed me towards the small lift. The elevator, like ...
