Welcome to the most luxurious bed and breakfast experience in Paris (and perhaps the entire world). Tucked away from the bustling tourist areas, the Hotel Particulier Montmartre is nestled behind the elegant mansions of Avenue Junot. From here, you'll be treated to a breathtaking view of the stunning Parisian landscape.
This extraordinary maison particulier has undergone a meticulous renovation, resulting in a masterpiece.

The reception rooms are adorned with an eclectic collection of mid-century modern antiques, creating a unique and stylish atmosphere.
Each bedroom at the Hotel Particulier Montmartre has been beautifully decorated by a different contemporary artist. Morgane Rousseau, the owner and a curator herself, ensures that every room is a work of art. During my stay, I had the pleasure of experiencing the mesmerizing Arbres et Oreilles room, where the walls whispered secrets at the touch of a button.
Located at 23 Avenue Junot, 18th Arrondissement, you can reach the hotel by calling +33 1 5341 8140. For more information, you can visit their website at hotel-particulier-montmartre.com. The hotel is conveniently accessible via the Lamarck-Caulaincourt and Blanche metro stations.

Think vintage sofas with vibrant velvet upholstery, pristine white walls, and polished wood floors.

MIJE
MIJE
MIJE has been a go-to accommodation choice for students for generations, offering affordable and comfortable lodgings in the heart of Paris. However, it's important to note that MIJE is not exclusively for students. In fact, its basic bedrooms are located within the premises of a 17th-century private mansion known as a hotel particulier.
The rooms may be simple, but they provide a great value compared to other options in the trendy Marais district. Staying at MIJE costs about half the price of most alternatives in the area. Moreover, their restaurant doesn't only offer breakfast but also serves dinner, allowing guests to enjoy a full meal for just €10.50.
However, it's worth mentioning that MIJE is primarily a student hostel, which means there could be occasions of larger groups of students creating some noise. As Sartre famously said, "Hell is other people."
MIJE is located at 6 Rue de Fourcy, in the 4th arrondissement, and can be reached at +33 1 4274 2345. For more information, you can visit their website mije.com/paris_individuels_uk.html. The nearest metro station is Saint-Paul. The prices range from €30 to €49 per person per night.
