Hotel Ekta
Paris, France
8Telegraph expert rating
It's a return to the Sixties and Seventies in this converted modern office building, which pays homage to the black and white fashion world of Courrèges. After a mirrored staircase à la Chanel, you enter the friendly intimacy of a hotel with just 25 rooms that is fun, comfortable yet unpretentious. Young friendly staff, who are clearly proud of the unusual setting, are helpful and enthusiastic. A well-hidden secret is the wood-decked garden terrace. There's no restaurant but hot dishes are available from room service in the evening. There's also a continental buffet breakfast.

Mama Shelter Paris
Paris, France
7Telegraph expert rating
Mama Shelter is in an offbeat corner of northeast Paris, in what once was the village of Charonne, with its mix of picturesque houses and alternative bars. For all its budget ethos, Mama pays plenty of attention to service: you can check in by machine if you wish, but there are also young enthusiastic staff at front desk and helpful concierges. Bedrooms are streetwise exercises in concrete, with iMacs and fairground masks covering bedside lights. It's the ground floor that's the real hit: with a shared table for pizza and the graffiti-ceilinged restaurant and Island bar.

Hotel des Grandes Ecoles
Paris, France
7Telegraph expert rating
Family-run Grandes Ecoles opened as a simple pension de famille in 1927 for academics visiting the nearby Sorbonne and Grandes Ecoles, and it remains happily oblivious to changing fashion. There are no televisions in rooms and no air-conditioning, but it has the charm of what looks like a provincial manor house with lovingly tended gardens. It's in the heart of the Latin Quarter, seconds from the cafés of Place de la Contrescarpe, yet in a quiet setting down its own cobbled alley. A simple continental breakfast (good bread and croissants, coffee, orange juice) is served in the old-fashioned salon. They're quite happy for you to drink your own wine (glasses provided) or snacks in the garden in the evening. Read expert review From £139 per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com

Hôtel Jeanne d’Arc
Paris, France
9Telegraph expert rating
A homely slice of provincial France right in the heart of the Marais. Knick-knacks and paintings line the corridors, the staircase is decidedly drunken (though there is also happily a very small lift) and an extravagant art nouveau mosaic mirror adds a quixotic flavour to the lounge. Most are good sized and several sleep three or four, which are popular with families, and there are also cots available.

• The best boutique hotels in Paris
Hotel Henriette
Paris, France
8Telegraph expert rating
This pretty little boutique hotel makes a cosy and romantic base for a city break in Paris, with some of the bohemian Left Bank's most charming attractions a short walk away. Designer Vanessa Scoffier has a background in fashion journalism and her good taste and keen eye for detail can be seen throughout the hotel. Colour blocked-walls and fresh wooden floors combine with splashes of pattern – think floral feature walls and dainty floor tiles. A very tasty buffet breakfast is served in a bright and pretty room overlooking the winter garden. Read expert review From £62 per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com

• The best five-star hotels in Paris
Hôtel Exquis
Paris, France
8Telegraph expert rating
This cheery, three-star hotel in the fashionable 11e arrondissement is perfect walking distance to some of Paris’ hippest bars, restaurants and designer boutiques. Surrealism is its theme and contemporary rooms showcase original art pieces against a backdrop of boldly coloured walls and modish vintage trimmings. Clementine orange, sage green, shocking pink and marigold yellow: colour schemes in the 42 rooms are as wild and fantastic as the Surrealists would have wanted. A generous buffet breakfast is served in the eclectic basement dining room with faux Formica bar. Read expert review From £62 per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com

YOOMA Urban Lodge
Paris, France
8Telegraph expert rating
A dazzling façade designed by French conceptual artist Daniel Buren makes this new riverside hotel a contemporary work of art. The Eiffel Tower is just down the road, the chef cooks with veggies grown on the rooftop garden, and rooms are overwhelmingly family-friendly. There are 106 overtly functional rooms, split across two floors and sporting shades of red, yellow, blue or green. Larger rooms sleeping four or six guests have uber-cool cabin bunk beds or 'pods' with sliding doors that Le Corbusier would have wholeheartedly approved of.
