Paris apartments are always Excellent value
The Paris Tourism Office recently published their annual statistics relating to the tourism industry. This report includes the average price per night for a hotel room. In France you can rent an (average) room for 121 Euros/night. In Paris the same quality room (2 star category for two people) rents for 144 euros/night. It's important to keep in mind that an average hotel room does not meet standards expected by most American, Canadian or Australian travellers, in terms of size or comfort level. An average 2 star hotel probably won't have elevators, air conditioning or queen size beds. The room size is probably less than 10 square meters small and might be very noisy as many Paris hotels are.
These average rates are also far below the rates charged by most hotels in the central Paris neighborhoods where rates can range from 150-500 euros/night for a double room. The average rate is closer to 250 euros/night. These rates don't include breakfast, taxes, internet access, telephone calls, laundry facilities or kitchen access. A couple is therefore looking at spending between 1000-1500 Euros for 4 or 5 nights in a well located, but average comfort level hotel for 2 people. If your family includes more than 2 people, expect to pay much more than this.
The apartment rental option is therefore a very very cost effective choice. As a rule there is a one week minimum for most rentals in most agencies since the work involved has a number of fixed costs that can't be reduced. That's why many companies stick to the weekly minimum, even when guests reserve for 4 or 5 nights. In all cases, the weekly rates are a real bargain by Paris standards, and when you find a beautiful apartment which is located in one of the most central areas (the first, fourth, sixth or seventh districts) the weekly rates are usually 50% less than what an equally well located Paris hotel would charge you for 3 or 4 nights.
Even when going to Paris for less than a week, the Paris apartment rental option is a very good option for you and the extremely good value for money you will have will make your trip one of your best ones yet. For your next trip to Paris for 4 or 5 nights, don't hesitate to rent an apartment and you will certainly be satisfied with your decision.
