hotel prince or leveque??

looking for opinions to choose between these two - i%26#39;m torn, but the people on this forum seem to have such great advice! also open to alternative suggestions in the same price range :)



we were hoping for left bank, fairly central, safe neighborhood, easy walking to the basics.



thanks!

If you%26#39;re talking about the Hotel Prince in the 7th I highly recommend it. We stayed there last month and were very impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the room size (fairly spacious for Paris standards), the location, and the close proximity to the Metro (across the street). There are several cafes, restaurants, shops and grocery stores in the area. The Eiffel Tower is around the corner. And best of all, it has a/c.

Some people mention the %26#39;cheese smell%26#39; at Leveque, depending on position of their room compared to the fromagerie located nearby...





but I think someone else mentioned the position of windows at the Prince in some rooms that allow someone in another room to see right in...





It%26#39;s probably a toss-up. Maybe only one will be available and then you won%26#39;t have to %26#39;decide%26#39;.. :)

I stayed at Hotel Leveque in 2000,



a good location on the rue Cler



with vendors and shops right



out the front door. Early morning



noise as vendors set up so a room



higher up or in the back might help.



It was the first time I stayed in Paris.

In the same range of prices and with the same location, you also have the lovely hotel Saint Dominique, clear and clean rooms, newly renovated, near rue cler too, friendly staff, little and very nice patio...



really greatly recommend it...
