print this pagePacked with personality, the Hotel du Marais "Bistrot" offers incredibly cheap student-quality singles and doubles in the newly hip northern Marais district (right next to the Marché des Enfants Rouges).
Monsieur Bébert, the Bistrot's proprietor, runs his creaky, pre-war hotel from the counter of the hotel's street level café, where young travelers (and those with youthful budgets) congregate and caffeinate. The café fills up in the morning with guests flipping through their guidebooks and hitting up Monsieur for local advice.
Upstairs, 21 rooms sport painted terra-cotta floors and wallpaper with a burst of much-needed color. The metal-framed dorm-style beds can be a bit saggy, and there are no electric outlets (you'll have to charge your telephone in the bistro), but each room is equipped with a sink. Needless to say, there are no TVs, telephones, or other amenities. Shared showers, located on each floor, cost €3 a cleaning. Shared Turkish-style toilets (squat over the hole, folks!) are always free.
Note: The hotel has a 2 AM curfew.

Stretching from Châtelet to the Place de la Bastille, and from République to the Seine, the Marais is the trendiest neighborhood on our list. Its narrow, winding streets are full of funky boutiques, hip bars, and tiny bistros. The Marais is home to the city's historic Jewish quarter and is the center of gay Parisian life. Many of its 17th-century mansions house museums and cultural centers, making this neighborhood very popular for locals and visitors alike. It’s a safe and lively area for nightlife, particularly around the Rue du Vieille du Temple.
The increasing number of contemporary art galleries and avant-garde fashion boutiques in the Marais has fueled increases in hotel rates over the past decade. Nonetheless, there are bargains to be found along the quieter side streets, where visitors will find the exposed wooden beams and bonsai-sized rooms also on offer in Latin Quarter hotels.
