Cosmos Hôtel

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Cheap, brilliant value and just footsteps from the nightlife of rue JPT, Cosmos is a shining star with retro style on the budget-hotel scene that, unlike most other hotels in the same price bracket, has been treated to a thoroughly modern makeover this century. Breakfast is basic but is also budget priced (€8).

Baby cots are available on request.
