HÔTEL AURORE MONTMARTRE Map Hotel €€

01 48 74 85 56; www.montmartre-hotel-paris.com; 76 rue de Clichy, 9e; s €65-85, d €70-105, tr €99-140; Place de Clichy;

The lobby and the lift may both be pint-sized and Montmartre ain’t exactly one street over, but some of the 24 rooms of this hotel between place de Clichy and the Gare St-Lazare have balconies (eg room 54) overlooking the street and quite striking black-and-white bathrooms. And the price is certainly right for the location.

HÔTEL ELDORADO Map Hotel €

01 45 22 35 21; www.eldoradohotel.fr; 18 rue des Dames, 17e; s €35-57, d & tw €68-80, tr €80-90; Place de Clichy

This bohemian place is one of Paris’ greatest finds: a welcoming, reasonably well-run place with 23 colourfully decorated and (often) ethnically themed rooms in a main building on a quiet street and in an annexe with a private garden at the back. We love rooms 1 and 2 in the garden annexe; the choicest rooms in the main building are Nos 16 and 17 with their own terraces leading out into the garden. Cheaper-category singles have washbasin only. The hotel’s excellent Bistro des Dames is a bonus.

Built in 1870, this 27-room hotel has kept its charming belle époque look. The rooms and suites (eg rooms 11 and 15) are large for a smallish hotel in Paris; most have sandstone fireplaces that, sadly, have been decommissioned, and many retain original bathroom fixtures and tiles. Room 64 has wonderful views of the rooftops of Montmartre.

Dating back to 1846, the Chopin is down one of Paris’ most delightful 19th-century passages couverts (covered shopping arcades) and a great deal for its location right off the Grands Boulevards (entrance at 10 blvd Montmartre). The sprawling 36-room hotel may be a little faded, but it’s still enormously evocative of the belle époque. After 10pm, when the arcade closes, ring the sonnette de nuit (night doorbell).
