The mid-range Hotel Eden is a contemporary boutique property located on a quiet residential street in the 15th Arrondissement. Renovated in 2012, it has a
bright and tasteful nature theme that includes a garden area. The 37 rooms feature
various nature-inspired motifs and include upscale bathrooms, minibars, room
service, safes, and free Wi-Fi. But they are on the small side and don’t offer
coffeemakers. Amenities include concierge services, an included continental breakfast, bar service, and a
fitness center with a steam room, but no parking. Travelers with cars may want to consider the upper-mid-range Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel instead.

Situated in the Latin Quarter, the Select Hotel is a 65-room, upper-middle-range boutique hotel with simple and sophisticated modern decor. Tucked on a quiet side street directly across from the Sorbonne University, the Select Hotel is slightly set away from the main tourist areas but still in walking distance to a plethora of eateries, shops, public transportation, and city attractions -- including Luxembourg Gardens and the Panthéon, just five minute’s walk from the hotel. The decor is simple and modern with a zen-like central atrium. Rooms are compact but stylish with wood beam ceilings, AC, and free Wi-Fi. Guests find the rooms small but comfortable, though some complain about quirky bathroom layouts. There are few extra property features other than a tiny lobby bar and a breakfast room that serves a daily buffet for an extra fee, which guests find overpriced. Guests looking for a different style hotel in the same price range can try the nearby Hotel des Grands Hommes, which has similar features and ornate decor.

The 105-room budget Hotel Victoria is located in historic Cité Bergère, in the Ninth Arrondissement. Just off the Grand Boulevard, tourists will find all of Paris easily accessible on foot or by Metro, right outside. Rooms are tiny, but the headboards -- designed with super-sized photographs of historic Paris landmarks like Sacre Coeur -- lend a hip French vibe. Bathrooms are scarcely big enough to turn around in, but have great water pressure. Travelers should expect a barebones setting -- no in-room Wi-Fi, underwhelming breakfast, and some worn-out rooms. Those seeking a similarly priced property that's a bit better maintained and in a hip location could try Tiquetonne.

Hotel Galileo is a 27-room boutique property where modern chic meets the past -- a 17th century fireplace mixes with Art Deco in the lobby. Located on a quiet street two blocks off the famed Champs-Elysees, the hotel is within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue Montaigne, a haute couture mecca of luxury fashion boutiques. Rooms can be small (although suites are available and some rooms can be combined) but all are stylish, clean, and attentively decorated. The hotel itself is also small, but a charming little bar and breakfast room provide great spaces to relax or meet with friends.

The 174-room Hotel California is an upper-mid-range property near the Champs-Elysees, and a former haunt of American journalists and celebrities. This hotel has many appealing amenities, including 24-hour room service, elegant dining, fireside cocktail service, a courtyard with a fountain, and a gym; it is well-suited to business travelers thanks to its seven meeting rooms and a business center. Classic rooms and suites offer flat-screen TVs, safes and, in some, balconies with Paris views. Guests complain, however, about dull furnishings in some rooms and slow free Wi-Fi. Another option may be the Hotel Ares Paris, with stylish rooms and free high-speed Wi-Fi. 

Hotel du Theatre is a three-pearl boutique hotel in the largely residential 17th arrondissement, about a 10-minute walk from the lovely Parc Monceau. Named for the Hebertot Theatre across the street, the 20-room Hotel du Theatre is housed in a 19th-century cream-colored Haussmann building, and has a cozy lobby with vintage Chesterfield couches and plenty of theatrical props. Breakfast, with pastry made by an in-house baker, is free for guests who book directly with the hotel. Rooms, which are not air-conditioned, are small, and with their striped wallpaper and swirled-floral carpeting, look a bit old-fashioned, even though they were renovated in 2015. Bathrooms, though, are sleek and modern. For a hotel with a charming garden in the same neighborhood, guests might want to compare rates at the Logis Jardin De Villiers.

This cozy and homey two-and-a-half pearl hotel is situated in the Montparnasse neighborhood, an area known for its wonderful restaurants. With Luxembourg Gardens less than a 10-minute walk down the road, and all of Paris easily accessible by a Metro stop right outside, the 39-room Hotel De La Paix is best-suited to travelers who appreciate living room-style decor and quick access to a great dinner. Guest rooms are air-conditioned and individually decorated with, for example, vintage ski posters and warm wood furnishings. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, which offers a tasty breakfast for a fee. 

The 50-room Balmoral Hotel is an upscale boutique with romantic style and a central Paris location near the Arc de Triomphe. This reasonably priced property has 24-hour front desk service, a chic breakfast room, a 24-hour lobby bar and fireplace lounge, concierge service, and an Apple business corner. Elegant rooms, suites, and apartments offer flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, contemporary bathrooms, and Paris street views. Some guests complain about hearing noises from other rooms, but sounds are reportedly minimal and don’t spoil the overall atmosphere.
