With so many Paris hotels to choose from, we know it's often difficult to book one with confidence. Now we have made it easy, helping you to select a reliable accommodation to suit your needs. All you have to do is choose from our Recommended List , all of which have been visited by our own experienced staff or recommended by customers.

The cheapest Paris hotels are located outside the ‘Peripherique' ring road but these are quite a ride out from the centre and don't really suit those on a city break. More practical for a short break are the many reasonably priced 2 and 3 star accommodations to be found a little closer to the centre, usually just a few stops by metro from the heart of the city. One of the very best Paris hotel deals we offer is the Kyriad Italie Gobelins . This super family run 2 star accommodation in a pleasant area of the city close to the Place d'Italie is just 5 minutes by metro from the Louvre and Notre Dame cathedral. There are plenty of good shops and restaurants nearby giving a flavour of the ‘real' Paris and the discounted prices negotiated by City Hotels Direct make this, another addition to our Recommended list, one of the best value hotels in Paris.

City Hotels Direct offer plenty more Paris lodging deals for those on a limited budget. Across the city from the Kyriad Gobelins is the Hotel Damremont , a comfortable 2 star on the north side of Montmartre which is always well priced, whilst in the commercial area of Montparnasse, near the Luxembourg Gardens, is the 3 star Unic, and close to the Bois de Boulogne is the 3 star Classics Tour Eiffel . There are also a few very central Paris hotels at affordable prices. These include the Eden and the Victoria which are not to everyone's taste, being simple, straightforward and best noted for their low prices and locations rather than their comfort.

Two of our recommended Paris hotels are ideally suited for the many visitors who arrive at the Gare du Nord, either from Charles de Gaulle airport or on the Eurostar from London . Both the Hotel Flora and the Villa St Martin are good reliable well priced 3 star Paris hotels just a short walk or ride from the station and we can offer excellent discounts here throughout much of the year. A hotel in similar vein is the Cheverny, another convenient 3 star which is only one metro stop from the bus terminal where transfer buses from Ryanair's Paris Beauvais airport arrive.

For a decent, unassuming Paris hotel right in the heart of the city centre, the 3 star Paris Rivoli is one of the cheapest Paris hotels and is superbly located close to the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame, whilst the 3 star Neva, just around the corner from the Arc de Triomphe is a good 3 star that offers some excellent discounts through us. Two more of our recommended hotels are also very central, the Hotel de la Place du Louvre , right by the famous gallery, and the highly rated Residence Des Trois Poussins , a superior 3 star located within easy reach of Galeries Lafayette and the Opera.

Four star hotels in Paris are never cheap, but there are some excellent deals to be had through us. The classic Littre, between Montparnasse and St Germain des Pres and the Hotel Castiglione and the Mayfair Hotel , both close to the Champs Elysees, come into this category. For that extra special short break why not splash out on some true luxury? City Hotels Direct even offers discounts on some of the most prestigious hotels in Paris, including the Warwick Champs Elysees , located just off that most famous of boulevards, the Edouard VII on the Avenue de l'Opera and the Meurice which overlooks the magnificent Tuileries gardens.
