The charming 4-star Hôtel Parc Saint-Séverin overlooks a quiet pedestrian-only street behind Église Saint-Séverin in Paris's Latin Quarter.
The hotel's 27 rooms are decorated in calm neutral shades with pops of jewel-like colors and many luxury touches. The hotel's smaller rooms offer bargain rates for this location, while larger ones with balconies give you wonderful Paris rooftop and skyline views.

Hotel Marignan ★
13 Rue du Sommerard (near the Cluny Museum and a 5-6 minute walk to the Seine River); nearest metro: Maubert-Mutualité
In a city where 1-star hotels in sought-after neighborhoods have mostly vanished, Hotel Marignan is an insiders' secret among budget-savvy travelers who love its location, low rates, and high-speed fiber optic connections in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter.

Choose accommodations with a shared toilet and/or bathroom, and you'll find (depending on the season) rates well under 100€/night.
Single rooms, in particular, are tiny but cheap. Or book a guest room with a private bathroom, private toilet, and perhaps even a balcony, and pay a bit more. No elevator or air conditioning, but fans are available on request.
The owner/manager and staff are applauded for being helpful and accommodating. The value is hard to beat.

Families especially like the connecting rooms.
For longer stays, reserve one of the larger rooms or suites - but if you're staying just a night or two, you'll find great value in the compact smaller rooms while using the hotel's wonderful location near the Latin Quarter/Saint Germain boundary as your base to explore all of Paris. When you return at the end of the day, relax on the hotel's lovely patio.

More Places to Stay in Paris's Latin Quarter
Last but certainly not least, here are three more very special places to stay in the Latin Quarter (by coincidence, they are all also very close to the Saint-Germain neighborhood). But, they are are also highly popular and therefore not easy to reserve. Needless to say, you'll need to book far in advance, especially if you want to get one of the larger suites or apartments for more than a night or two.
- Hotel Saint-Andre des Arts (66 Rue Saint-André des Arts, 6th arr) - Cool 4-star hotel with an Art Deco/Pop Art vibe on a lively street in the Odeon area; very, very popular. Sister hotel to 3 other highly-rated Latin Quarter Hotels: Hotel Les Dames du Pantheon, Hotel des Grands Hommes, and Hotel Baume.
- Hotel Villa d'Estrées (17 Rue Gît-le-Cœur, 6th arr) - Gorgeous 4-star boutique hotel with just 10 spacious guestrooms and suites (including family suites for up to 5 guests), and elegant, charming decor located very close to the Seine River on a quiet side street where one of King Henri IV's favorite mistresses lived in the 1590s. If you've drooled over showrooms featuring antique objects, beautiful tiles, and Pierre Frey, Farrow & Ball, Brunschwig & Son, Osborne Little, and Lelievre fabrics, wallpapers, and paints during your strolls around Paris, you can experience them first hand in this exquisitely decorated hotel.
- Hotel Residence des Arts (14 Rue Gît-le-Cœur, 6th arr) - Beautiful 3-star hotel with 11 guestrooms on 6 floors in a 17th century building; sister hotel to Hotel Villa d'Estrées across the street, so you'll find similarly elegant decor, high quality materials, and attention to details.
