Apartment rentals are also very popular in Paris and give you the opportunity to live like a Parisian, shopping at the local markets and visiting neighbourhood bars. Choosing a central option with good transport links will allow you to maximise your time.
Prices/Tipping
A ‘budget hotel’ in Paris generally costs up to €130 for a double room with en suite bathroom in high season (breakfast not included). For a midrange option, plan on spending €130 to €250. Luxury options run €250 and higher.
Bellhops usually expect €1 to €2 per bag; it’s not necessary to tip the concierge, cleaners or front-desk staff.
Reservations
Reservations are almost always essential – walk-ins are practically impossible and rack rates are unfavourable relative to online deals (usually best directly via hotels’ official websites). Reserve your room as early as possible and make sure you understand the cancellation policy. Check-in is generally in the middle of the afternoon and check-out in the late morning.
Apartment Rentals
Families – and anyone wanting to self-cater – should consider renting a short-stay apartment. Paris has a number of excellent apartment hotels, including the international chain Citadines (www.citadines.com).
For an even more authentic Parisian experience, home-sharing options are also available, whether a room in someone’s apartment or the entire property. Rental agencies (e.g. Paris Attitude) are among the organisations that list furnished residential apartments for short stays. Apartments often include facilities such as washing machines, and can be good value. The cheapest rates are usually in local neighbourhoods in outer (higher-numbered) arrondissements. Many older Parisian buildings don’t have lifts/elevators; check the étage (floor). Parisian apartments are often tiny (in studios, the sofa often doubles as the only bed); confirm the size beforehand. Also establish whether prices include electricity.
Beware of direct-rental scams whereby scammers compile fake apartment advertisements at too-good-to-be-true prices from photos and descriptions on legitimate sites. Book only with reputable companies. Above all, never send money via an untraceable money transfer.
Accommodation Types
Hotels
Hotels in Paris are inspected by government authorities and classified into six categories, from no star to five stars. The vast majority are two- and three-star hotels, which are generally well-equipped. All hotels must display their rates, including TVA (taxe sur la valeur ajoutée; valued-added tax), though you’ll often get much cheaper prices online, especially on the hotels’ own websites, which invariably offer the best deals.
Parisian hotel rooms tend to be small by international standards. Families will probably need connecting rooms, but if children are too young to stay in their own room, it’s possible to make do with triples, quads or suites in some places.
Cheaper hotels may not have lifts/elevators and/or air-conditioning. Some don’t accept credit cards.
Breakfast is rarely included in hotel rates; heading to a cafe often works out to be better value (and more atmospheric).
Hostels
Paris is awash with hostels, and standards are consistently improving. A wave of state-of-the-art hostels include the design-savvy 950-bed ‘megahostel’ by leading hostel chain Generator near Canal St-Martin, 10e, and, close by, two by the switched-on St Christopher’s group.
The more traditional (ie institutional) hostels can have daytime lock-outs and curfews; some have a maximum three-night stay. Places that have upper age limits tend not to enforce them, except at the busiest of times. Only the official auberges de jeunesse (youth hostels) require guests to present Hostelling International (HI) cards or their equivalent.
Not all hostels have self-catering kitchens, but rates generally include a basic continental breakfast.
B&Bs & Homestays
Bed-and-breakfast (B&B) accommodation (chambres d’hôte in French) offers an immersive way to experience the city. Paris’ tourist office maintains a list of B&Bs in Paris.
Tips:
Taxe de Séjour
The city of Paris levies a taxe de séjour (tourist tax) per person per night on all accommodation. The rate depends on the type of accommodation, as outlined below:
Palaces (and similar) €4.40
5 stars €3.30
4 stars €2.53
3 stars €1.65
2 stars €0.99
1 star & B&Bs €0.88
Unrated/unclassified €0.88
3- to 5-star campgrounds €0.66
1- and 2-star campgrounds and marinas €0.22
Internet Access
Wi-fi (pronounced wee-fee in French) is virtually always free of charge at hotels and hostels. You may find that in some hotels, especially older ones, the higher the floor, the less reliable the wi-fi connection.
Smoking
Smoking is officially banned in all Paris hotels.
Price Ranges
The following price ranges are an indication of accommodation costs in Paris (prices refer to a double room with en-suite bathroom in high season, breakfast not included).

作为世界上旅客访问量最大的城市之一，巴黎拥有丰富的住宿预算，从最近重新焕发活力的旅馆场景，现在包括专门建造的，最先进的時髦背包客（flashpacke）垫到迷人的老式酒店，私密的精品店宝石，时髦的喧嚣，令人膛目结舌的设计师避风港，睡眠 - 饮酒 - 用餐 - 舞蹈生活方式酒店，以及豪华酒店和宫殿，其中一些是世界上最好的酒店和宫殿。务必尽可能提前预订，特别是在繁忙时段，包括周末，公共和学校假期以及夏季。
公寓出租在巴黎也非常受欢迎，让您有机会像巴黎人一样生活，在当地市场购物和参观邻里酒吧。选择具有良好运输链接的中央选项将使您最大化您的时间。
价格/小费
巴黎的“经济型酒店”一般花费一百三十欧元，一间带高级季节连接浴室的双人间（不含早餐）。对于中端选项，计划花费一百三十至两百五十欧元。豪华选择价格为两百五十欧元或更高。
侍者（Bellhops）通常预计每袋一至二欧元;没有必要给门房，清洁工或前台工作人员小费。
预订
预订几乎总是必须的 - 步入式实际上是不可能的，并且机架费率相对于在线交易是不利的（通常最好直接通过酒店的官方网站）。尽早预订房间，并确保您了解取消政策。办理入住手续的时间通常在下午中午，退房时间为上午晚些时候。
公寓出租
家庭 - 以及任何想要自炊的人 - 都应考虑租用短租公寓。巴黎拥有众多优秀的公寓式酒店，包括国际连锁Citadines（www.citadines.com）。
为了获得更加真实的巴黎体验，无论是在某人的公寓还是整个酒店，都可以享受家庭共享的选择。租赁代理商（例如Paris Attitude）是列出短期住宿公寓的组织之一。公寓通常包括洗衣机等设施，并且物有所值。最便宜的价格通常在外（较高编号）区的当地社区。许多巴黎老式建筑没有升降机/升降机;检查地板。巴黎公寓往往很小（在工作室里，沙发常常是唯一的床）;事先确认尺寸。还要确定价格是否包含电费。
谨防直接租赁骗局，诈骗者通过合法网站上的照片和描述，以极好的价格编制假公寓广告。仅限信誉良好的公司预订。最重要的是，永远不要通过无法追踪的汇款来汇款。
住宿类型
酒店
巴黎的酒店由政府机构进行检查，分为六类，从无星级到五星级。绝大多数是二星级和三星级酒店，通常设备齐全。所有酒店都必须显示其价格，包括增值税（TVA），尽管您通常会在网上获得更便宜的价格，特别是在酒店自己的网站上，这些网站总是提供最优惠的价格。
巴黎酒店的客房往往很小，符合国际标准。家庭可能需要连通房，但如果孩子太小，不能留在自己的房间，有可能在某些地方与三人，四人或套房打交道。
更便宜的酒店可能没有电梯/电梯和/或空调。有些人不接受信用卡。
早餐很少包含在酒店房价内;前往咖啡馆往往更有价值（更大气）。
旅馆
巴黎充满了旅馆，标准也在不断提高。最先进的旅馆浪潮包括设计精明的950床“megahostel”，由主要的旅馆连锁发电机附近的运河圣马丁，10e，以及附近的两个由开启的圣克里斯托弗集团。
更传统（即机构）的旅馆可以进行白天停工和宵禁;有些人最多入住三晚。有最高年龄限制的地方往往不会强制执行，除非在最繁忙的时间。只有官方的auberges de jeunesse（青年旅社）要求客人出示国际青年旅舍（HI）卡或同等卡。
并非所有旅馆都设有自炊式厨房，但房价通常包括基本的欧陆式早餐。
B＆B和寄宿家庭
住宿加早餐（B＆B）住宿（法语chambres d'hôte）提供身临其境的体验城市的方式。巴黎的旅游办公室保留了巴黎的B＆B列表。
提示：
旅游税（Taxe de Séjour）
所有住宿的巴黎市每人每晚征收一次税收（旅游税）。费率取决于住宿类型，如下所述：
宫殿（和类似）€4.40
五星级€3.30

三星级€1.65
二星级€0.99
