%26#39;Budget%26#39; accommodation is an oft discussed topic/question.
I suggest you first use the excellent search facility in this forum to see previous suggestions. That will give you something to work too and you can check feedback here and/or in the TA Hotel %26amp; Accommodatins feedback section.

Hiya, don%26#39;t know if my idea of budget is the same as yours but I use the TimHotel chain and in particular stay at the TimHotel Jardin Des Plantes in the 5th which is nothing special but nice, clean and in a good location.
Have a look at the website -

If you would prefer a small Parisian hotel rather than a chain hotel the Jeanne D%26#39;arc hotel in the Marais district would be a good choice. It is in an excellent location is surrounded by cafes and is very good value.

That%26#39;s a nice looking option Helking. I%26#39;ve book marked it for future use.
ici175 Here are the TA reviews for the hotel which are also favourable

Hi,
We have booked Hotel de Ruoen for our Paris trip in May 2008. It is just a few minutes walk to the Lourve Museum. Very centrally located! And it is only 55 Euros per night! Here is the web site:

I woud be careful of the Hotel de Rouen - so long as you understand claerly what basic/budget truly means in this case.
The reviews are mixed - small, cramped, dirty etc but all are happy with the location.

We stayed at Les Hauts de Passy last fall, and loved it. It%26#39;s very central (10-min walk to the Eiffel), and it%26#39;s located in a very nice part of Paris. The hotel itself is on a quiet pedestrian-only street and everything you need is within a block. The accomodations are very clean and comfy, and it costs about 100Euro a night. We got a package deal through Travelocity, and it was very affordable.

The best budget hotel I have stayed in is the Hotel du Marais, 2bis rue Commines. It%26#39;s in the 3rd, but only a few minutes walk from the livelier part of the Marais.

I just came back from Paris the other night. I traveled by myself. I was looking for a 1- or 2-star hotel for cheap.
You must remember that Europe is not like the States; it%26#39;s much safer. So long as you%26#39;re near a Metro stop, you%26#39;ll do fine.
I used Rick Steves%26#39; book to narrow my search. Then, I came to TA to check out real people%26#39;s reviews. I checked out the website. I wanted a hotel that took online bookings.
I ended up staying at Hotel Royal Phare for 74 Euro per night for a single room (although they sometimes have specials). It%26#39;s in the 7e arondissement (not far of Tour Eiffel) in the Rue Cler neighborhood (tres chic et tres cher (expensive)). The metro stop Ecole Militaire is literally right outside the front door of the hotel.
I booked online with a 5 Euro upcharge for booking online (although you could just call them). After booking, I showed the TA reviews to my mom, who suggested that I request a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower. There was no such request on the booking form, so I emailed them. I recieved a response within hours honoring my request. As it turns out, I was received by the same receptionist who responded to my email.
Bottom line:
Clean
Friendly
Near to transportation
Cheap
Speak English (although I didn%26#39;t try this, I heard them speaking English to other clients)
