The friendly Hotel Audran is a solid deal, offering two-star rooms with private bathrooms along the café-lined rue Abbesses, one of Montmartre's most charming stretches.

The hotel’s 40 rooms (7 singles, 9 twins and 24 doubles) are made over with pretty blue walls, restored crown moldings, and laminate floors. Furniture is pretty basic (simple bed, desk and wicker chair), and all rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, telephone and safe.

The 28 rooms facing the street (on either the rue Abbesses or rue Audran sides) will get some traffic noise, although the hotel does have double-paned windows. Still, light sleepers should request a room on a higher floor (there’s an elevator, and views from the top are gorgeous) or ask for one of the 12 rooms on the courtyard.

All rooms have a nicely tiled private bath, each of which has a shower (no bathtubs) and a hair dryer.

Double rooms go for about €149 per night on average, but those traveling in the low season could find rates around €95.

The hotel serves breakfast for a Cheapo-friendly €7.55, although there are countless bakeries and cafés offering better deals nearby. Wi-Fi is available for free throughout the property. The entire hotel, including all rooms, are non-smoking.

Location

The Hotel Audran’s location, just two blocks from the picturesque Place des Abbesses (complete with carousel and Metro), puts guests near innumerable restaurants, cafés and small shops, and a short stroll up to Sacré Coeur. This location makes sense for romantic types, although guests simply searching for a convenient spot (where they can quickly come back to your hotel throughout the day), should consider picking something closer to the center of town.

Metro: The hotel is located two blocks from the Abbesses Metro station (line 12).

Location: Central

3.4km to city center

Main attractions: The wedding cake of a church that is the hilltop Sacré-Coeur basilica is this area’s most recognizable monument, and those who climb up will be rewarded with an incomparable view overlooking Paris. Montmartre's winding streets have inspired generations of starving artists and bohemians. That charm now co-exists with a theme park of the original village, centered on the Place du Tertre, complete with touristy restaurants and bars, and "artists" offering to sketch your portrait or sell you their lurid oil paintings (don’t be surprised if this offer includes a date).

Neighborhood atmosphere: Some of Montmartre still resembles a country hamlet, replete with ivy-clad cottages and cobbled squares. Take a walk along the lovely rue des Saules to see the tiny vineyard and the legendary restaurant-cabaret Au Lapin Agile, the headquarters of the arty crowd circa 1900, where Picasso paid for a meal with one of the Harlequin paintings. The 18th also includes what has long been thought of as Paris’ grittiest neighborhood in the area around Barbès, which has a large North African immigrant population. But gentrification of the areas nearby is changing the atmosphere of this lively noisy corner of town.

Affordability: Prices vary in the neighborhood but include plenty of budget-friendly options. Place des Abbesses has a picturesque square and leads onto the rue des Abbesses and its lively eating and drinking scene, although it’s become a bit of a hipster paradise in recent years with rising prices to match.

Stay Here If: You enjoy being in a romantic, village-y neighborhood overlooking the city.

Stay Elsewhere If: You do not enjoy walking up stairs and hills (or the site of tour buses) or want to be in a more central neighborhood.
