Hotels Near Paris

[sherrardk]

Do the French have anything similar to travel lodges/premier inns? Don't want just a room, would like some sort of family friendly amenities attached, somewhere to get a meal and for the kids to play. Looking for somewhere close to Paris. Thanks.

Ibis hotels are like Travelodge and Premier Inn (but a bit better). They are all around the world. There must be some in Paris.

I'll have a look, thank you.

Have stayed in these in a few places in France. More or less same as Travelodge in the uk.

If you sign up to their emails, they will give you details of special offers.

The Ibis ones seem to cater for the business traveller, which is a shame as they look nice. Will go and and look at the other one, thank you.

Citotel works in the same way that Best Western does. i.e. it's not a 'chain' but lots of independent hotels which trade under a common banner:

Having mentioned Best Western, it's worth remembering that they have hotels in France too:

However the place that I'd start looking (particularly with a large family group) is here:
http://www.hostelworld.com/
Don't be put off by the word 'hostel' in that URL. There are loads of good quality hotels on that site as well. (I used that site last year to find a lovely, superbly-located little hotel in Madrid, where a single room cost me just €22 per night)

Thanks everyone, I will pass the info on to himself.
