Hi all, and thank you for all the information I%26#39;ve found here. I%26#39;m now so confused! The travel agent suggested Cluny Square Hotel which looks just right - till I heard on here there is a spiral staircase to get past to the reception with your luggage!! How bad is the stair situation really? My young daughter and I are travelling by ourselves and although relatively fit, carting a suitcase up stairs may irritate a back problem I once had.
Can anyone recommend anyother 2-3 star accomodation close to the Cluny. We%26#39;ll be there 22nd June-26th June, 2009.
We%26#39;re on bit of a budget - or will be by the time we%26#39;ve reached Paris as my oldest daughter is getting married in the UK on the 20th June. Mmmm, I did offer her a ladder and a cheque to elope but that didn%26#39;t work! The Aussie dollar is so weak against the GBP %26amp; Euro.
Any other tips or information would be great.
Thank You
Sylvie-Anne

If you are on a budget, I recommend this 2* hotel in the 6th (very nice neighborhood, better in my opinion as Boulevard Sait Germain that is very noisy), that is great value for money, have a look:

The above hotel is normally a decent choice but right now there is scaffolding on one side of the building...may be noisy during the day and blocked views of the Theatre Odeon.

Our personal preferences are for the neighborhoods of the upper-6eme--Saint Germain des Pres. The area (roughly described as a %26#39;wedge%26#39; north of Jardin du Luxembourg to the Seine and west to rue des Saints Pères %26amp; east to Blvd. Saint Michel) is convenient to and within easy strolling/walking distances of many of Paris major sites and attractions, has more than enough good restaurants and cafés to suit almost any taste, appetite or budget, interesting stores and shops, excellent public transporetation (RER/Metro/Bus) connections to and back from %26#39;the-rest-of-Paris%26#39; when you%26#39;ve strolled/walked farther than you thought you would)--
For this area of the upper-6eme, check out these good, moderately priced, 2-star hotel choices--

We have just returned from 12 days in Paris and we spent the final 4 days of our trip at Hotel Diana. We were very pleased with the quality of room and bath (keeping in mind that it is a 2 star hotel). We were in room 35 with a view of Rue St. Jaques and the Sorbonne. Elevator worked fine and held both of us as well as our luggage (something not all elevators are capable of in Paris). Therese and Cecile were gracious hostesses and were helpful with suggestions for local (within the neighborhood) dining and shopping.
Price was very reasonable. Location was accessible to Metro Cluny-Sorbonne (line 10) and St. Michel (line 4 as well as RER B %26amp; C) and several bus routes (87 to Champ de Mars %26amp; Eiffel Tower, 63 to Invalides and Gare de Lyon, 86 to Bastille, 85 to Montmartre %26amp; Sacre Couer, etc.).
Hope this helps. Enjoy your planning. It%26#39;s almost as much fun as the trip.
