 Paris has a city tax Both Booking com the hotel made no mention of this additional charge Thus when I checked out thinking I d have a 0 balance because I prepaid through booking com I was told I owed an additional 20 Euros for a City Tax The problem is I exchanged all my Euros back to U S dollars the night prior to my check out I only kept enough Euros to pay for a taxi So I had to use my credit card in order to pay for the city tax plus the 3 international fee my credit card charged me All of this could ve been avoided had I known to keep some extra Euros for this city tax fee The hotel staff said the city tax fee could not be added in my prepaid booking because they aren t allowed to add the city tax until the check out day I have no complaints about the tax I just simply wished I would have known how many Euros to keep on me for the city tax to prevent me from using my credit card incurring the additional 3 international fee 
 The staff was super friendly welcoming extremly helpful
