“Inexpensive, if you don't mind taking the train and don't care about night life.”

The hotel Kyriad Villeneuve La Garenne is a very nice hotel in a not so good neighborhood. It was clean, inexpensive, the people were wonderful but it's not close to the metro and is in a neighborhood where a foreigner really would not want to walk around at night. There is a bus stop 1 block away and several others within walking distance. We stayed there over New Years Eve because it was inexpensive relative to the hotels in Paris. We thought it was a 15 minute walk to the train station, which might be true, but you wouldn't want to do it at night. And the problem is that in Paris, cab fares double at some point in the night, so a cab ride back to the hotel from central Paris was about $40 each evening. Even with that though, it was less expensive than staying in the city. When we took the cab, the drivers never could find the place without help from us. One of them got lost a couple of times on the way to the hotel. Of course, we pay the fare when they do that. So here's when you would want to stay in this hotel. a) On business with your own transportation b) Traveling cheap when you don't mind walking to a train or taking a bus and have plenty of time. c) On your own if you don't mind urban environments Keep in mind there is no night life close by and very few places to eat. Thier breakfast was awesome, however. The room was very clean but really small. The bathroom was exceptionally clean and recently refurbished. Overall, nice hotel and people, bad location.
