Located above a bank, next door to a supermarket and right outside the Ecole Militaire metro station, the Hôtel Royal Phare can hardly be beat for convenience. Of course, getting a safe and central place to sleep and shower at these prices means a sacrifice in other comforts. The bonsai-sized elevator barely lets one person and a suitcase squeeze in, and the rooms—despite their soundproofed windows—have paper-thin walls.
Still, we like the tidy, carpeted rooms with their private bathrooms and empty fridges ready for stocking. If you like watching the bustling street scene below, request one of the rooms with balcony. You’ll need earplugs if you're a light sleeper, but that shouldn't deter those looking for a rock-bottom priced location within 10 minutes walk of the Eiffel Tower, Invalides, and the Rue Cler.
