The Hotel de Sejour offers sunny and clean rooms with "budget boutique" décor for very reasonable rates near the heart of the Marais. What's the catch? The rooms are simple, don't have televisions or telephones, and there's no elevator.
The Hotel Sejour Beaubourg, formerly the Hotel du Sejour, has been a favorite of ours for years. The charming couple that ran the hotel for more than a decade sold the hotel in July 2008. Happily, the new owners have brought some new life to the hotel, while keeping it geared toward budget-minded travelers.
The hotel's street-level lobby (open 11 AM - 9 PM) is a wide-open white room, with a few pieces of modern art and hip furniture. Up the impressive wooden staircase, rooms sport a little contemporary design, with purple bedspreads, bold velvety curtains, and IKEA-designed hanging lamps. Rooms have wooden desks with leather-backed chairs.
The cheapest rooms are equipped with sink only, while more expensive rooms have private baths (toilet and shower). Importantly, rooms are equipped with double-paned windows for soundproofing.
Note: Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel.
