The 'Good Stay' at the top of a quiet street in Montmartre is a perennial budget favourite and the husband and wife operating the hotel are always welcoming and helpful. It's a simple place to stay - linoleum or parquet floors, no lift etc - but comfortable, very clean and - joy … Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The 'Hotel of the Three Chicks' is a lovely property due south of Place Pigalle. It has 40 rooms, half of which are small studios with their own cooking facilities. There's air-con throughout and one room has wheelchair access. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This classy small hotel with 32 well-equipped rooms is located on a quiet street between rue Monge in the Latin Quarter and the Jardin des Plantes.

In the thick of the Sorbonne area, the Select is an Art Deco mini-palace, with an atrium and cactus-strewn winter garden, an 18th-century vaulted breakfast room and 67 stylish guestrooms. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This sedate, very stylish hotel at the southwestern corner of Montparnasse Cemetery and due east of the Butte de Montmartre (Montmartre Hill) has 92 spacious and well-designed rooms and suites, some excellent outlets and quite simply the best views in town. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This brighter-than-bright 31-room boutique hotel, with its emphasis on sunbursts and bold colours, particularly orange and yellow, is just this side of kitsch. But it makes for a different Paris experience and fits in with its surroundings very well indeed. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Hôtel de Danemark, a positively scrumptious boutique hotel southwest of the Jardin du Luxembourg, has 15 very tastefully furnished rooms and eclectic contemporary décor contrasting with ancient stone walls. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This 31-room hotel is in a lovely 18th-century building, which rather chauvinistically makes reference to the 'great men' in the Pantheon across the square (a woman, Marie Curie, is also in the crypt and has been there since 1995), was given a complete overhaul in 2002 and is now… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The flower-bedecked 'Old Willow Tree' is a comfortable and welcoming hostelry in the northern Marais and something of a find because of its slightly unusual location just 350m (380 yards) south of place de la République. 'Superior' rooms are on the 3rd and 4th floors. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Someone has gone and taken an 18th-century building and spun it into the 21st-century, with tasteful greys, blacks and burgundies in the 38 guestrooms. History is reflected in the lobby, with its antique furnishings, convivial bar and, in winter, open fire. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This 54-room hotel is owned by the same family that runs the cosy Familia Hôtel next door but, boasting an additional star, it offers just that much more comfort. Mind you, the service remains excellent in both. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Situated just up from the cafes and hubbub of place St-Germain des Prés and south of the Seine, this 30-room hotel is a tastefully appointed choice. We especially love the suite (room No 26) with the baronial four-poster bed. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This especially charming hotel built within a converted 17th-century convent is more Bastille than Marais but still within easy walking distance of the latter. Wooden beams on ceilings, terracotta tiles on the floors and heavy brocade drapes tend to darken the guestrooms but cert… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This 31-room hotel helped set what has almost become a standard of the Parisian accommodation scene: small, minimalist, discreet. The hotel's fabrics, lighting and soft furnishings are all of the utmost quality and taste. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

If you are someone who likes style of the traditional variety, choose this lovely 21-room hotel just west of the Louvre and opposite the Église St-Germain l'Auxerrois. The hotel is air-conditioned throughout. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

With 20 rooms and tucked away in a quiet quayside street, this place with the most minimal of names is the stuff of romance, Paris myths and urban legends. There are rooms set aside for nonsmokers and the hotel has air-con throughout. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

We've visited, inspected and stayed in lots and lots of hotels in our day, but it's rare to come across anything quite like the Murano, a 52-room 'urban resort' south of Place de la République with a classical 19th-century exterior and a 21st-century inside. Full Lonely Planet Review ›
