I'm sad we're not going to Germany for the sole purpose of staying in this new hotel.
A) Look at the pictures
B) $59/night
C) The website says: "SHIT! 60 DAYS TIL LAUNCH!" How can you not love that?

Should we get these? We are under 25...

Top 10 Budget Hotels in Paris

2009-06-12T13:40:00.000-07:00

1. Hotel Langlois

This under $100 hotel provides just about the best bang for the euro you will find in this pricy city. This is easily one of Paris' most popular budget hotels. It is just a few steps from the Metro and the RER. It is also oozing with character, in a building dating back to the 1800s but with a recent renovation.

2. Hotel Britannique

Location is the best selling point for this hotel. Paris' Hotel Britannique is right in the heart of it, just a few steps from the Seine River, Les Halles, the historic Place du Châtelet, the hip Le Marais neighborhood, Notre Dame cathedral and Le Louvre. Once a popular stopover for jazz performers, today this inexpensive hotel features small but atmospheric rooms.

3. Hotel Chopin

With a great location and a Metro stop mere steps away, this hotel charms budget guests time and again. It's clean and comfortable, and the staff is inviting. In an older building, it is also quaint and charming. No, this isn't the Ritz. But for the price range, these are incredible Parisian digs.

*As an embarrassing fact, I didn't know there was a city in Europe called Orleans. I thought there was only New Orleans. It is now glaringly obvious how silly I am.
