Finding Paris Hotel Deals

Author: Guest Author

When traveling to Europe, you especially want to make sure you have all your ducks in a row so that there are no suprises, or so you are prepared if there are. There are a couple of places you should look in order to find the Paris accommodations that will suit you best. Travel websites online and your travel agent are your two best resources of which you should make use when seeking out your Paris Accommodations.

In order to get an idea of what good prices run at, I would advise that you first check the internet. With the number of travel sites now out on the internet, you should be able to find a large sampling of Paris accomodations pricing. I have always found it more productive to check out the big travel sites before the other ones. Sift through those to find three or four that you like and can navigate easily. Then, go to each site’s accommodations or hotel sections. Select the location in France where you want to stay, and assuming that the site works with international travel you will do fine. You will get a list of Paris accommodations, and with most of the sites you will also be able to research the ameneties of the hotels and their precise locations. It is a nice way to see multiple Paris accommodations side by side so that you can properly compare them to one another. Then, just write down or otherwise keep track of some of the prices to help you as you continue your reasearch.

The other resource that I find to be the most productive for Paris accommodations is a travel agent. For overseas trips especially, a travel agent will be extremely helpful in finding a place for you to stay at a good price. Travel agents have access to discounts and rebates that can actually help you get Paris accommodations through them for less than you would online or just calling around on your own. In addition, if you are using a travel agent to put together the rest of your tip, then why not see if he or she can include Paris accomodations as some sort of travel package that may even save you more money in the long run.

Searching Hotel Deals in Paris

Author: Guest Author

Finding a Paris hotel bargain is quite possible if you follow a few essential guidelines. First of all you need to know where you want to stay. Paris is a big and diverse city and the location of your hotel can make the difference between a vacation filled with magical memories and a nightmare made real. A link to a good map with descriptions of the Paris arrondissements (districts) is available at the end of this article.

Secondly, you’ll need to decide what kinds of hotel services you’ll need. Some people want everything from air conditioning to mini-bar to room service, with a four star restaurant on the premises. Others are content with a bed, a bathroom and a shower in a safe part of Paris.

The criteria for rating hotels vary from country to country, but in France, hotels are given a grade ranging from one to four stars based on the facilities that are available; but such ratings are not an indication of the quality of the accommodations. That means that the star rating will only give you a basic idea of what facilities a hotel has to offer. Two-star hotels must have an elevator (if appropriate), a telephone in every bedroom, and at least 40% of the rooms are required to have a bathroom in the room (en-suite). Three-star hotels must offer breakfast room service and 80% of the rooms must be en-suite, and four-star hotels are required to have a restaurant and all the rooms en-suite.

So once you’ve decided how many stars you need, you’re ready to get started. Going to a travel agent will generally only give access to a limited number of hotels in Paris, and they won’t be the cheapest hotels in their category. If a bargain is your objective, you’ll be better off searching the web for Paris hotel reservation websites that are based in France and because of that are able to offer you on-line booking for a wide range of boutique hotels. Such hotels often offer great value for the money!

Don’t forget that if a good price is your objective you should bear in mind that a moderate quality three-star hotel in Paris may be less expensive than the best two-star hotel. Similarly, a good two-star hotel in the Latin Quarter, Saint Germain, or the Marais, may cost the same or more than a three-star hotel in an out of the way corner of Paris.
