26 cozy rooms sporting floral curtains. There are lots of guest-centered amenities, including
a shared iPad, fireplace, and quiet central courtyard (Db-€185-240 depending on room size,

$ Hôtel Regyn's Montmartre** is located directly on the lively Abbesses square, with
22 small but adequate rooms, no air-conditioning, and mediocre bathrooms. Rooms in the
front come with pleasant views and noise from the square. Guests in fourth- and fifth-floor
rooms can see all the way to the Eiffel Tower (Sb-€91-110, Db-€122-142, check website for
specials, 18 Place des Abbesses, tel. [phone], fax [phone], www.hotel-regyns-
paris.com , [e-mail] ).
$ Hôtel André Gill ** makes me smile. It's a family affair: The front desk is run by two
lovely sisters, two lap dogs, and two fat cats. Breakfast is included and served in a living
room filled with plastic flowers and photos of the sisters' grandchildren. The hallways and
elevator are alarmingly dark and narrow, but the rooms themselves are bright and clean (Sb-

$ Plug-Inn Boutique Hostel is part hotel and part hostel, but with a hotel vibe. Half a
block off Rue des Abbesses, it has a young clientele, bathrooms in all 30 rooms, free Wi-
Fi, and several public computer terminals. Early arrivals can leave their luggage and take a
shower. Not all rooms are available online, so book by phone or email (all prices per per-

$ Hôtel Bonséjour Montmartre, run by eager Michel and his family, is an old, worn,
hostelesque place with dirt-cheap prices. All rooms have sinks, but share a hallway toilet.
Some rooms share one public shower on main floor, and others have small, oddly placed
shower cabins right next to the bed (S-€35-50, D-€56-69, Tb-€80, higher price for private
