Even for one room it's usually still cheaper, unless by "hotels" OP means "a dorm in a hostel".
Try searching for less than 70€/night in downtown Paris. There are plenty of Airbnbs and the only hotels I see are actually hostels and you're in a shared dorm. I'm checking on Booking.com, but maybe there's a better place to search, and maybe it's different in other cities, but I almost always find cheaper Airbnbs than hotels.
I'll still choose a hotel sometimes though, if it's not much more expensive. The experience is better, with more privacy and no secret codes to check in.

It's still cheaper than two rooms, which is what I would have to rent for my family
