The New Orient Hotel is charming and comfortable. I stayed in a Comfort Balcony room and enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine and taking in the street view, It's located in the 8th Arrondisement, so it's a 35-minute walk to the Louvre and convenient to two metro stations. Across the street is a small grocery store and a laundry mat, so pack lightly. Maison Hecht boulangerie and Le Coin bistro are right around the corner and will satisfy your daily needs for fresh baked goods and classic French bistro food. Josef and Catherine, the proprietors, are wonderful hosts and the staff are friendly and helpful. If you're an English only person, don't worry. And if you want to practice your French, Catherine will be happy to accommodate you. I highly recommend this hotel and will stay there on my next visit.
