On the topic of hotels, I%26#39;m looking for one room with 1 Queen %26amp; 1 single, non-smoking in district 1, 2, 6, 7 or 8 for $200 Euro or less in April/May. I prefer a fridge or mini-bar, 20+ square meters, air conditioning, non-smoking, ability to eat %26amp; drink in the room, a safe and proximity to a grocery store. I%26#39;ve gone through the Paris Hotels section a fair bit but not all the details are readily available online. Any suggestions other than the Concortel and La Bourdonnais.

P.S. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

if you are there for more than five days, you might consider an apartment. You can rent directly from owners (though a few agencies slip in) at
http://www.vrbo.com
http://www.flipkey.com
Also, there are a range of agencies. The ones I%26#39;m familiar with are:
http://www.vacationinparis.com
http://www.haveninparis.com
http://www.athhomeinfrance.com
http://www.villeetvillage.com
If you look through the apartments and find some that interest you, you can post the link and I%26#39;m sure others can provide feedback.

To be honest finding a triple room that has a queen sized bed plus single that%26#39;s approximately 20 sq. m. between April %26amp; May will be challenging for 200 euro. That%26#39;s the beginning of the high season, queen beds are not that common in small hotels, and rooms are not typically as large as 20 sq. m.
But you can try the Hotel Left Bank St. Germain in the 6th. http://www.leftbankstgermain.com/ and Au Manoir St. Germain also in the 6th http://manoir.parishotelsaintgermain.com/.
For the 1st try Hotel Brighton at www.espritdefrance.com.
Sorry I%26#39;ve no specific hotel suggestions for the 2nd, 7th, %26amp; 8th yet.
I do agree that you ought to consider renting an apartment. You%26#39;ll get more space plus kitchen facilities and even perhaps laundry facilities for the same cost.

If you have 3 nights or more, you could have a look here:

In late June/early July this year my wife and I stayed at the Grand Hotel St Michel between the Boul St Michel and the Pantheon.
We enjoyed the hotel very much. The whole hotel is non smoking and the place has been renovated within the past year or 2.
We were upgraded at no charge 2 room classes to a Deluxe. The room had a queen bed (a real one) plus a sofa/hide a bed.
There was a minibar and it was replenished daily free of charge with 2 cokes, 2 oranginas and 4 bottles of water. There was no bizarre %26#39;no eating%26#39; policy.
The hotel is not only air conditioned but the A/C actually coped with the 32C temperatures... I%26#39;ve stayed in French hotels where the a/c was just a rumour.
There%26#39;s a large Monoprix grocery a block and a half down Boul St Michel and a cafe with 1 Euro coffee just around the corner! ;^)
Have a look at their site:
hotel-saintmichel-paris.com/pages/rooms_3.ht…
Their rack rates are higher than your target but look at their internet rates. We paid 160 E a night.
As I said, we were very pleased with the accommodation and the service and will most likely stay again on our next trip.

Thanks Rob. I%26#39;ll look into it.

Any other hotels?
Please do not list apartments. (I%26#39;m already looking into it.) Thx

Okay... I%26#39;ll give you another idea... last year we stayed at the Hilton Eiffel Tower which is now a Pullman.
We stayed there for a couple of reasons... kids stay free (at Hilton anyway) and we had our teenage daughter with us. We knew the rooms there would be bigger than the %26#39;average%26#39; Paris hotel room so would not be over crowded for 3.
We like the location. A lot of people don%26#39;t find it ideal but it%26#39;s right under the tower and only a 2 minute walk to the Bir Hakeim metro.
Being quiet at night is not a problem as my late night party days are years behind me.
But the main reason we stayed there was the price... $141 USD a night via Priceline. I have see it this year, now it%26#39;s a Pullman, on Hotwire for $159 US. Drawbacks:
- it has one of those minibars where if you move something for more than X seconds it goes on your bill. They might empty it for you...
- internet access was pricey
Aside from that I found it to be a real deal ...

I stayed in a twin at the Hotel Brighton that was definately big enough for an extra bed,, and room was brigt and airy,, it was the deluxe Tuilleries view room, and is over you budget most likely,, but , I managed to get it for 160 euros per night about 5 years ago by booking an online special,, so maybe you will get lucky.
I have seen the triples at the Hotel Eugenie,, they are clean and functional, with a/c and fridge,, but , bed is double, and hotel is clean and functional not luxe.
