If you're looking for cheap and cheerful, I stayed in a Hotel Ibis in Bobigny which is right on the end of the metro line. Hotel is 2 min walk from Metro station, and you're looking at 15 mins into centre of Paris. Hotel is basic but cheap and clean.
Loved Paris. Avoid some of the outskirts as it is like Beirut in some parts. Also, if you head up Mont Martre (not sure of the spelling there) there are loads of artist types who literally hound the fuck out of you to paint/draw/sketch your portrait, and you don't pay if you don't like the finished picture. Whilst there are undoubtedly one or two decent artists among them, most are more persistent than your average Mallorcan timeshare salesman and equally as adept at art. My advice is to tell them to fuck off. Rest of Paris is cool though. Loads to see and do.
