5I was in Paris for three nights. Booked first at a three star (Duminy Vendome) for EUR 180. They ended up overbooked and sent me to a Mercure, right by the Printemps dept store. Second night I stayed with friends. Third night, I went to Alexandrie, booked at EUR 75. I typically try to stay at three star places such as Castex, for about EUR 120 and I was not too sure what to expect for such a low rate.
There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that Alexandrie is well worth the money, and next time, if I can't find a reasonable place in the EUR 110-130 range, I may well come back.
Sure it's basic, but it's clean, bathroom is OK, and once I found how to turn it on (which unfortunately only happened almost in the morning..) the air conditioning actually did work.
Location is actually not bad either.
