St-Germain & Les Invalides
Located on a lively, restaurant-lined thoroughfare, this zero-star hotel is a veritable bargain across the street from the beautiful glass-roofed passage Cour du Commerce St André. Its 31 rooms are basic and there’s no elevator, but the public areas are evocative of old Paris, with beamed ceilings, vintage church pews and exposed stone. Rates include breakfast around a shared table.
Rates even lower in low season.
