We are in Paris 22-25th April 08. We have a buget of approx. 100euro or less/night (2-3 star) and want to stay near the best area where we can visit monuments (eiffel tower) close by and cheaper market shopping for bric a brac,clothes,food in walking distance also close to trams as my husband has one leg and crutches around, so long distance walking is out of the question, so this is why we need to be pretty central. Also good food eating areas where it is not so costly and touristy. Hotel Nicolo has a good review. Has anybody stayed there? Does anybody recommend a particular hotel (with breakfast if possible)?

I don%26#39;t have a specific recommendation for hotels that would meet all of those requirements, but my suggestion is to start with the TA hotel search functions (top of the page, %26quot;hotels%26quot; tab), specify your budget, and search particularly in the 5th arrondissement (Latin Quarter).
Once you find a hotel that appears to suit your budget and that sounds promising based on the reviews, click on the map function to see how close the nearest Metro stop would be. With the mobility limitations you describe, the Metro is going to be your best friend for getting around, as it%26#39;s easy to manage and you can get fairly close to almost any site you want to visit. There will be lots of reasonably priced bistros and cafes in the Latin Quarter (that%26#39;s the student area, and you know how student budgets are!)

I would look at staying near Opera as it is served by the line 14 metro which is accessible to people with mobility problems and has quite a few bus lines available. Madeleine is also served by line 14 so you could stay there and broaden your access to buses as required by going to Opera. Chatelet is best located for metros and RER train lines that are accessible for those with mobility issues but it is not the nicest area, although I am sure there are hotels in nice areas nearby that others could suggest to you.

Hotel de la Sorbonne is in the Latin Quarter, very near the Luxembourg metro stop, which is on the RER. It is relatively inexpensive and very nice and clean and quiet. The rooms are small but well cared for. There is a small elevator, as I recall. It is part of a hotel group that includes other not terribly expensive hotels in this area, incl. Hotel du Pantheon, where a friend of mine always stays.
