I'm staying at the 3 ducks hostel - cheap and hopefully cheerful at £20 per night.
3 DUCKS HOSTEL: 6 place Etienne Pernet - Paris (PA) 75015, France
is it a decent area for a pint (at a reasonable price) and a bit of craic
Thanks for help - invaluable as never been to Paris before
Staying at the acte V hote lnear pantheon, cheap and central. and good reviews.
The 3 Ducks Hostel has a great rep in town. Very cheap and usually very cheerful as well
Compared to other places in town though it's in a "quiet" area. Not that there aren't any bars around but that you won't find hoards of Green supports walking past your hostel door all day.
This doesn't matter though because in Paris your hotel/hostel is almost always no where neer you do your drinking and dancing. 90% of the 2-star hotles for example are in areas that you wouldn't spend the evening in; if the area had a load of cool, funky bars and great places to eat well you hotel/hostel wouldn't be only costing you €20 or €40 but more like €120 or €160.
Within a few minutes you have the metro line 8 which takes you direct to Opera district, Republique and Bastille. Better IMHO to get a cheap hotel on a good metro line as you have done rather than pay over-the-top money for a crap hotel smack-bang in the center of town. The €100 you save on your bed for the night is easily made up in the 30 minutes you'll spend in the metro.
Hi Ptegan do you have any opinion on Best Western Aulivia Opera
Paris, FR in relation to location and quality.

Paris35 is a handy site to use to search for cheap accommodation.
There is a good group of six or seven of us lads staying in "Auberge internationale des jeunes paris". It's dirt cheap at 14 euro a night so I know thje place will be a bit 'kippy', but we jus need a place to go for a few blinks and thats it. Don't plan on spending much time there obviously. Does anyone know what it's like? I have looked on google maps and the area looks O.K.
pain is only temporary, glory is forever.
Staying in the Timhotel in Clichy our next door neighbour is the sexodrome ! Should be fun coming home at night . Which door to chose ??
Just booked into Paris Hilton, heard its supposed to be gorgeous![]()
Why are people who "need no introduction" always introduced?
The reviews on trip advisor make me laugh for each hotel I've been checking out.
1 star - the lift was tiny.
1 star - I saw a drunk 400 metres from the hotel one night.
Americans eh?
I'm going for a bit of comfort this time around.
