Best Hotels in Paris For Solo Travellers

Paris isn’t just a place for couples. Having visited there solo and single, I loved it and recommend it for solo female travellers. If you are planning to visit here alone and are unsure where to stay, in this article I share the best hotels in Paris for solo travellers. Happy planning! 

If you are on a budget and looking for hostels to stay in, I share my recommended hostels on this article. 

Best Areas To Stay in Paris

Paris has so many different districts, that no matter where you stay it can be easy to navigate your way around the city with the metro. Certain areas are better for solo travellers depending on what you are looking for. 

If you haven’t been here before, you may want to stay in the historical district of Le Marais. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes and you’re close to museums and the Place des Vosges. It’s a mix of modernity with an old charm. 

If it’s a student vibe that you’re looking for, the Latin Quarter is known for its lively atmosphere and is the place for bars and cafes. It’s also very central and as well as being near to the river, you’re also close to the Pantheon and Sorbonne. There are a few bookshops here too. 

I love the Montmartre area. It’s known for being bohemian and because it is situated in the north of the city on a hill, you get great views of the city from here. Apparently, many famous artists once lived here too so you may even get inspired! 

For somewhere with even more literacy history, Saint German des Pres has all the culture that you need. You’ll find galleries, museums and bookshops to delve into. And when you’re ready for some sightseeing, this area is well connected to the rest of the city so it’s easy to explore from here. 

Best Paris Hotels For Solo Travelers

There are so many hotels in Paris that it can be overwhelming to know which one to choose.  With the help of our solo travel community, I’ve included the best Paris hotels for solo travelers below. Note that there is a tourist tax in Paris which means that the higher star the hotel is that you stay in, the more tax you will pay. Make sure to check if taxes are listed separately, as they are sometimes charged in addition to the accommodation price. * For all other accommodation in the city click here.

Motel One Paris-Porte Doree – $$

This 3-star hotel is amazing. It isn’t located in the city centre (it’s less than 25 minutes on the train) but that does mean that it is away from the hustle of bustle of the city and near a park so you go running or walking (or just relax in the nature) before or after a day of sightseeing. The front desk is open 24 hours so you can arrive late at night with the knowing that you can still check in.

And if you’re checking in early, you can ask if they can store your luggage so you explore before you check in. The museum nearby is worth visiting if you are interested in the immigration history.

The breakfast buffet is all organic too. * Check rates & availability: Motel One Paris-Porte Doree
