Paris Batignolles (17ème)

If you're going to stay this far out from the center of town, there better be something good keeping you here. The 17ème hosts a number of more luxurious budget accommodations that will give you a soft bed to come home to after a long day of sight-seeing, but it'll be a long metro ride.

Hotel Champerret Heliopolis, 13 rue d'Héliopolis (www.champerret-heliopolis-paris-hotel.com), Bright blue, white, and gold rooms with plush, comfy beds and flatscreen TVs.

Hôtel Prince Albert Wagram, 28, passage Cardinet (hotelprincealbert.com), Located in a quiet alleyway, Hôtel Prince Albert Wagram offers reasonably sized, clean rooms in a quiet neighborhood.
