samstar999 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hello - don't know it this is the right place for this, but has anyone stayed in Paris recently? I'm going for 5 nights in December - on a budget and want somewhere clean, and fairly central to stay. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titian Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 You may want to consult Lizzmobile, she knows a great place. Failing that the novotel in Cergy Pontoise is comfortable and 5 mins from the centre (walking distance) http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g262037-d261286-Reviews-Novotel_Cergy_Pontoise-Cergy_Ile_de_France.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cergy Pontoise is outside of Paris and takes about 20-30 minutes on the train. The station where you get off the train has another Novotel close by and this is near the centre.

You could be right there KenH, in fact don't stay at the one at Cergy Pontoise as the memory is coming back to me, I think I actually named it something along the lines of Cergy Pontarmpit of Paris. Yes it will be the nearer one. Why oh why did I visit Cergy Pontoise??? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my return trip I caught a train to Cergy and then couldn't find a taxi to the airport so I walked to a novotel not far from the station and asked them to find me one. I think the one I stayed at was "Paris La Defence" which was nice and quite cheap. I have stayed dozens of novotels in France over the years and, while they aren't exactly fabulous, you know what you will get and they can be very cheap.
