If you're lucky, Mama Shelter might actually squeak into the budget category, depending on how the exchange rate's holding up. But in any case, nothing about this ubercool Philippe Starck-designed pad is low end. Monochrome rooms lit by carnival mask lamps come kitted out with soft white-cotton sheets and big pillows, microwaves, mini-bars, iMac entertainment systems, WiFi and free in-room movies all making for a true value experience at one of the best places to stay in Paris.
Fashion designers, artists, musicians and other local creatives hang out with guests at its island bar and its restaurant (which is less of a bargain, but hosts a buzzing Sunday brunch). Other snacking options include a pizzeria, and candy, cookies and chocolate for jetlagged late-night cravings. The home-from-(very hip)-home vibe extends to efficient and friendly staff through to a self-service laundry. You can also rent wheels onsite, including electric scooters.
The catch (because you knew there'd be a catch) is the far-from-central location. On the far side of Père Lachaise cemetery (inside the ring road, though, but not by much), it's 10 minutes' walk from the metro, though buses pass right out front.
