Can anyone tell me if there are any hotels besides the Disney ones with indoor heated pools and separate rooms for children? I have spent hours searching and cannot find anything. I am leaning towards the Explorer’s hotel (has pool & separate cabin area for kids to sleep) but would like something a little closer to the heart of the city since we are only going to Disney two out of our six days in Paris.
Thanks
Very few Parisian hotels have pools, either indoor or out. Chain hotels such as Novotel or Pullman will usually fitness centres equipped with an indoor pool, but these will be at the dearer end of the market.

A few hotels will have family suites, but the best idea would be to get two connecting hotel rooms, or book an apartment.
If you can’t find anything suitable on-line it might be worthwhile asking a travel agent to look for you.

We will be traveling to Europe in July. And I would like to get 4 to 5 star, family friendly hotel recommendations for each city. We would like to have 2 joined rooms, as we have 3 adults and 3 children. The places we will be visiting are London, Cardiff, Paris and Geneva.
Me and a friend are planning to go to Paris in January 2009 and we want to pick a hotel for 4 nights that is fairly cheap (we can sleep in the same double bed as we’re only students) that is close to the city centre/clubs and is in a safe area. Also, if anyone can recommend any good tourist places to visit/clubs and restaurants to go to then please do. Remember, we’re students and cheap is best =D Thanks!
Hotels in Paris are very expensive in general, and at the cheapest for a double room, you’ll be looking at at least €70-€100 per night. Youth hostel on the other hand would be cheaper, and do read on reviews on them first before heading because some can be, errm, better with a bit more cleaning, some can be better in terms of location, and some can be better in terms of crowd (e.g. 3Ducks Hostel, famous as they claim to be, has a bar downstairs so it’s not going to be very quiet, plus everytime a metro passes underneath, you’ll feel it. I’m not kidding)
There is a youth hostel near Bastille that you can consider (http://www.aijparis.com/framea.htm ). Alternatively, as advised by another answerer, Hostel World (http://www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Paris ) is a good site to look for accommodation. I would say try to avoid Montmartre area and thereabouts (so postcodes 75018, 75019, 75020) even though the hostels there would be cheaper. It’s the red district area so at night it may not be the safest to wonder around in. If you can find something near Marais (75004), Latin Quarter (75005) and St Germain (75006) they would be very central (and safe).
If you really don’t want to stay at hostels, here’s a B&B guide for places under €100 per night that I read recently. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/oct/08/hotels.paris?page=all )
If you have a look at this Q&A (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApbKFcDqtSwufvVNTjOj86Lty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081212072952AAAc3ZC&show=7#profile-info-kVxJ40ybaa ) I’ve recently given a rather long list of places where you can eat in Paris without breaking the bank, along with a couple of other tips including buying museum pass and metro tickets in carnet.
As for tourist places, there are plenty to recommend but if you get the museum pass, you’ll have access to pretty much all the main sights in Paris EXCEPT the Eiffel Tower. There’s definitely plenty to do! Some of the main sights are:
1) Notre Dame Cathedral – spot the stone gargoyles
2) Louvre – where you can find Mona Lisa
3) Arc de Triomphe – the famous arch on Champs Elysees
4) Musee d’Orsay – impressive collection of Impressionist works
5) Sacre Coeur Basilica – on the hill of Montmartre
6) Luxembourg Garden – one of the many parks in the city
7) Pantheon – wonderfully built mausoleum Pont Alexandre – the beautifully ornated bridge of Paris
9) Saint Chapelle – gorgeous Gothic chapel with amazing stained glasses
10) Pompidou Centre – quirky “inside out” building housing modern arts
If you have any other more specific question, don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll try my best to give you the answer (if I know it). Bon voyage!
We are going to Disneyland Paris and would like to know if anyone thinks it’s worth taking the half board option with the hotel booking. I’ve heard that the food is very expensive. Any other advice?
