The hype
Travelers love the value, the kitchenette, and the new Metro connection, but the lack of AC is a recurring nightmare in July/August.
Residhome Saint Ouen
$75-150/ natt
Boka detta om You want a modern apartment with a kitchen near the famous Paris Flea Market for half the price of a central hotel.
Varför människor älskar det
- Spacious studios with full kitchenettes (rare for Paris)
- 12-minute walk to Metro Line 14 (zips to Louvre in 15 mins)
- Located in the trendy, eco-friendly Docks district
Snabb Överblick: A solid budget base camp that's great until the summer heatwave hits or you read the bed bug reports.
Recenserat av @Sekaizaa: I was shocked we snagged this spot for only £90 a night. The studio layout gave us so much room to breathe, and the bathroom was surprisingly huge. Plus, having that mini-kitchen meant we didn't have to eat out for every meal. Definitely my top budget hack for Paris!

Reality check
It's not 'in' Paris—it's a suburban commute. The walk to the metro feels long after a day of walking (approx. 1km).
- You are visiting the Saint-Ouen Flea Market (Les Puces)
- You want to save money by cooking your own meals
- You need a parking spot for your car (€15/night)
Renlighet & Underhåll
7
- Housekeeping: Weekly service only. You are responsible for daily tidying. Long-term guests often complain about dust buildup.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally modern and clean grout, but pressure can be weak.
- Maintenance: Newer building (2019), so fixtures are in good shape, but wear and tear is showing on carpets.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality. Not luxury, but functional. Towel changes cost extra.
- Odors & scents: Usually neutral, though hallways can smell of neighbors' cooking due to poor ventilation.

Insider-tips
