Cheap and small
Hotel Jardins de Paris Boulogne is a hotel with a 1930s ambiance and is located near the Parc des Princes and a shopping area. It takes about 20 minutes to the Eiffel Tower from the hotel's Metro stop, which is Marcel Sembat.
When I arrived, I had a completely hassle-free check in with my voucher and was given my room. My conclusion is quite simple: if you want small room with dirty walls but comfortable bed and clean sheets in outskirts of Paris, than this is it! But … what to expect for a price of €61.- for one night inclusive of breakfast? However, the bathroom was clean, sans the mildew between the tiles in the shower. It was a bit on the small side, particularly with the sink right in front of your face while you're on the toilet, but it was servicable. The shower area was heard to fit in (very small), mild smell of damp but again clean.
Breakfast was a typical continental breakfast - pastries, cereal, yoghurt, et cetera - nothing special and if late, not much available. The two coffee machines were definately not clean! Tried to explain this to the receptionists, which was rather difficult because she spoke some English, but not too much.
All in all, this was a decent inexpensive hotel that's a bit off the beaten path. If the opportunity came up at this price, I would stay there again. But I would not go there again for my romantic weekend, that’s for sure…
