Montmartre & Northern Paris
A twinset of potted yucca plants herald the entrance to this good-value, three-star hotel in Batignolles. Its 46 rooms come in colour palettes of mellow white, pastel blue and green; smaller attic rooms on the 4th floor particularly appeal to cent-watching travellers. Welcome drinks are served in the stylish lobby-lounge from 3pm until 8pm. No lift. Breakfast is €13.
The hotel also has triple rooms and family-friendly connecting doubles. Some dates require a minimum two-night stay.
