NFT: Hotel in Paris and Reykjavik

HeftyLefty : 6/14/2018 9:19 pm
Heading to Paris and Reykjavik with the girlfriend last minute in a few weeks. Flights are booked.

Suggestions of hotels to stay at in both? Want a good central location, not trying to spend an arm and a leg but wnat a decent hotel. Thanks
We stayed in the Center Hotel Plaza in Reykjavik

It wasn’t overly expensive for Reykjavik and it was right on the city center square. Everything was a short walk away.
One weird thing though

The showers were flush with the rest of the bathroom floor so there was nothing to hold the water in the shower. Bizarre.

I’ve had rooms like that here in the states. They were handicapped accessible rooms that they put me in for whatever reasons. It is bizarre, but not uncommon

If you want an apt, try Cobblestone or Air BnB

Most important thing in Paris is to be near a Metro Station. Trains come every 4 minutes and you can get anywhere in the city

Also, depends on your age. If you want excitement and do t care that much about noise, stay on the slope of Montmartre. You can get some deals but you are going to hear people in the street until 2 am
Reykjavik suggestion

Wife and I stayed at Reykjavik lights. Not right downtown, real close. Don't recall the coast. You can walk or a 2 minute can ride. Rooms were really clean, could be bigger. We were only staying over night till we could get out of the city. Large lobby and lounge area. Breakfast was include. Number of restaurants close by. Reykjavik is not a big place. Enjoy your trip. If you have time I'd suggest getting a car and drive out of the city. With I 2 or three hours drive you can see a lot of cool places. Most are right at the road. Weather can change quickly. You are on an island in the middle of the North Atlantic

I recommend you try a hotel the Latin Quarter in Paris.

Recently stayed at La Lanterne, which was nice but a little pricey for a small boutique hotel. But the area was great. Lots of cafes and bars, since it’s near the universities. It’s also right by Notre Dame. BTW, Latin Quarter refers not to any Spanish influence, but actually to Roman influence in that area in antiquity. Also, make time to hit the Montmartre district. So cool. Have a great trip!
We stayed at Alda Hotel

in Reykjavik. Nice little boutique hotel. Had a nice bar on the first floor, along with a hipstery barbershop. Nice modern rooms. Center of town. Would stay there again if we went back.
Reykjavik, AirBNB

I've done well with AirBNB on two trips to Iceland. Both Reykjavik and out in the country.

Enjoy Iceland. It's a wonderful place! I would move there if I could, but it's very difficult for Americans to get residency in Iceland.

There are are bunch of webcams in Iceland. Here's a link to one.

Enjoy!

We stayed at the Hotel Des Grandes Hommes in Paris

a number of years ago, and loved it. Front-facing rooms overlook the Parthenon in the 5th Arrondissement, a short walk from Notre Dame, Tuillery Gardens, the Louevre and other museums. I highly recommend looking into it - affordable, great location, very nice rooms. Enjoy, sounds like a great trip!

you must eat at Le Jardin de Olive.
Hotel Fron in Reykjavik

Boutique hotel downtown with modern Nordic decor, and breakfast is included.

It was real easy to walk all parts of Reykjavik.
