Eurostar question

[inulro]

Has anyone booked their hotel & train together on the Eurostar? The prices look better than I'm going to get if I book my hotel separately, but all of the lowest price ones specify double rooms & I'm afraid they'll get pissy because I'm on my own. Also, none of them look very central. Is it a better idea to book the hotel separately?

The cheapest hotel + train package I've been quoted on Eurostar is £187 which I think is pretty good for 5 nights. I have yet to check out the location of the hotel in question though.

I know it's cheaper to stay on the outskirts but I'm *very* tempted to spend the extra and stay somewhere central - I've been to Paris twice before and been stuck on the outskirts both times.

Thanks for the tip about the size of Paris - that was the impression I'd got from the maps & guidebook I have, but I was afraid I might be way off! I did find somewhere stupidly cheap whose only recommending feature was it's 5 minutes walk from Pere Lachaise & near a Metro - if it's not going to be an hour from downtown it might be worth investigating.
