Looking for a hotel in Paris for 22 teenage students?

Would anyone now of an ideal hotel, not too pricy where I could take a group of 22 students for 4 / 5 days next April ?


It has to be within easy reach of a Paris metro station.Looking for a hotel in Paris for 22 teenage students?
As has been said, this is a busy time of the year. However, you still have quite a few months and if you get on this right now you might just be able to get it done.





My favorite hotel, the St. Andre des Arts is so popular that its not likely they can shoehorn in a party of your size into their 36 rooms but its worth a try. http://www.123france.com/en/0/hotel-sain鈥?/a>





Just around the corner is the Petit Trianon Hotel at 2 Rue de l'Ancienne Com茅die (phone: +33 (0)1 43 54 94 64). I stayed there only once many years ago and its REALLY basic but even cheaper than the St. Andre. Being less well known you might be able to rent it all out (there are only 13 rooms). Thbey have no online presence that I know of so you'll have to phone. The owner at the time I rented spoke almost no English so if you don't speak French get someone fluent to help you make the call.





Then there's the Hotel Tiquetonne at 6 rue Tiquetonne on the right bank. It has 45 rooms. Again, they don't have an internet presence so you will have to call. the number is +33 1 42 36 94 58





You might also try a hostel. This website has some pretty decent places: http://www.cheaphostel.com/Looking for a hotel in Paris for 22 teenage students?
I'm French and I live in Paris.


I can advice you a nice small hotel, in the old center of Paris (typical district ';le marais';).


It's just near my place and most of my US friends use to go there.





Hotel des Acacias


20, rue du Temple


75004 PARIS
Try Hotel L'Aiglon on boul. Raspail.
It's one of the busiest times of the year so be quick!


You should contact this organization:

Otherwise check http://www.paris35.com/ or http://www.eurocheapo.com/paris/ for affordable hotels but it might be difficult to get enough rooms.





Another option is staying outside Paris near public transportation. There are cheap hotel chains in the suburbs near the RER such as Formule 1 (shared bathrooms!), Premi猫re Classe or B%26amp;B. There is actually one IN Paris:
