Montmartre 2- and 1-star hotels

From: Hotels in Montmartre

ABOVE: The entrance of the Timhotel Montmartre faces a square on the quartier's steep southern slope.

Two-star hotels

The Timhotel Montmartre is our top choice in this category, if only because of its location: The hotel is directly on the Place Emile Goudeau, a tree-lined cobblestoned square with park benches and a café. The Abbesses Métro stop is nearby, and you can easily walk to every restaurant and tourist attraction in Montmartre. This is a popular hotel for good reason, so don't wait until the last minute to book a room!

Another nicely located three-star hotel is the Comfort Inn Place du Tetre (not to be confused with other Comfort Inns in Paris). It's on the rue Tholoze, which is near local shops, restaurants, and Le Moulain de la Gallette, one of Montmartre's two remaining windmills.

The Hotel Roma Sacré-Coeur is on the less touristed (but also less quaint) northern side of La Butte Montmartre, in a solidly middle-class neighborhood of attractive shops and apartment buildings. A traditional Parisian café is on the ground floor. From the hotel, you can descend half a flight of steps to the Lamarck-Caulaincourt Métro station. (Note: The station was temporarily closed for renovation when we wrote this article in April, 2006, but the Jules Joffrin station is only a few blocks away.)

Nearby, on the rue Lamarck, the Hotel De Flore offers double and twin rooms on a street with apartments and neighborhood businesses such as grocery stores, a hairdresser, and a laundromat. A public parking facility is 150 meters away.

One-star hotel

My Hotel in France Montmartre has an exceptional location for a one-star property. The hotel lies directly on the rue des Abbesses, within a short walk of the Blanche and Abbesses Métro stations. But there's no elevator, so book elsewhere if you've got bad knees, a weak heart, or heavy luggage.
