L’hotel più economico d’Europa! Mi hanno dato un letto per 35€ 5 stelle tutta la vita! Resisti Surcouf
Amazing little budget hotel in the heart of Paris. Definitely not high end but you have a room and a washroom with a shower. You won’t find a better deal in the heart of Paris 45€/night for a room with a private shower and toilet. Definitely worth the price, room is definitely basic and a little outdated but for backpackers/budget traveling most definitely would recommend. The only drawback is the concierge closes at 1am and you have to leave the key there, so if you like staying out late you might have to pull an all nighter lol. Besides that would definitely come back.
Odlična lokacija, ljubazni domaćini, cena izuzetno povoljna. Smeštaj nije luksuzan, ali je posteljina bila čista, kao i toalet. WI-FI je dobar, hotel miran. Za taj novac ne možete očekivati hotel sa pet zvezdica, ali možete da prenoćite na dobroj lokaciji u Parizu.
Artsy former village with the Moulin Rouge cabaret, Sacré-Cœur basilica & views from hilly streets.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
