Excerpt from book: buildings are generally old, but there are some that are very pleasant, sanitary, inexpensive, and satisfactory. Two hotels that we can recommend are: Htel Dysart, 4, square de la Tour Maubourg. This is a small hotel which was once a pension. It is very attractive, sanitary, comfortable, and not expensive, with many cheerful, sunny rooms. The cuisine is good. It is very near the Invalides.

The hotel is said to be very good, and is certainly very attractively situated for one who cares for the old part of Paris. Many Americans go there. It has fifty rooms. Prices from 4 francs; and the other charges are moderate. Good Railway Hotels Printemps, rue St. Lazare (4), near the Gare St. Lazare (4). Htel Terminus, opposite the Gare St. Lazare (4). Magenta; Htel Du Nord; both near the Gare du Nord. Htel De L'OUEST, 21, rue Verte, near the Rive Gauche Railway Station. Prices very moderate. Clean, but necessarily noisy. Shady garden. Htel Meubl, near the Gare d'Orlans or Gare du Quai d'Orsay (21). Quiet; cheap.
