Bathrooms weren't the cleanest and smelled odd, but had a great stay. Breakfast is essentially only baguettes, but very good to grab and go.

Location is awful. Near a subway station but subways stop at 1, so an expensive cab is the only option late-night. Staff is nice, but does not have a great knowledge of the city or fun things to do that aren't the obvious tourist destinations. Not a terrible experience, but I will definitely look for somewhere else to stay next time I go to Paris

A well laidout hostel, with plenty of facilities but not kitchen. Although the fees for using the luggage storage was high, infact its the only time I have had to pay to store my luggage. Also the bar and meals were expensive. The beds were good, the lockers needed lubicating, were a bit loud. Location is poor, the neighbour its in is not the best, plus its a long metro ride from anywhere interesting. Its seems safe enough during the day but would not so great after dark.

It was a good hostel, really big and with loads of guests, but from doing some travelling by myself in the past I wouldnt have found it that easy to socialise if I was by myself, due to it being so big. But it is in a nice area, right on the river and really close to the metro and supermarket. So easy to get to from CDG airport but pretty far out from the main sites of Paris, but definitely do-able. Overall it was a good stay.

This is definitely a youth hostel which is good for partying and drinking. However, the people are so rude that they use one of my plastic bag(with one hat and one trouser and some food) as garbage bag. The cleaning lady thought that it was just a garbage bag and just throw it away when they cleaned the room. I will recommend this place if you want to have a crazy night.

Very close to public transport. The canal is a very lively area every night!

It was really big. I personally prefer smaller hostels, but I loved the atmosphere in this one. The staff was friendly and helpful, but they were a little fast-paced, since they had other guests to deal with, which is understandable. I loved the buffet breakfast! one of the best, that’s for sure.

This is an excellent hostel with a fabulous vibe to it. It's a great place to start of your tourist day and a great place to come back and hang out with your new friends.

I enjoyed this hostel a lot but a miscommunication caused me to have to leave a day early which lead to a series of unfortunate events that eventually resulted in me staying in Paris a week longer than i expected

I had a great stay at this hostel. The wire lockers under the beds were practical but really loud if someone was packing up in the morning. There were only 2 bathroom stalls for the whole floor so I had to wait a few times but the hostel was really nice, the staff were amazing and I liked the bar/restaurant downstairs.

I thought it was decent place to stay. The downstairs bar was good. But they advertised 10 percent off all drinks for guests if you showed your key pass. When I asked at the bar they said this wasn't true. I liked the curtains on every bunk though, and the individual under bunk lockers. I'd stay here again.

Nice and well organised hostel. I have to tell that is great to have a curtain on your bed because you have lot of privacy . The location is not good enough is a little far from the centre and it is not safe, but it is ok for the money.

We did not like our stay at the hostel at all. The staff was unable to give us the right room key so we found other people in our beds. After arriving in the late evening, the beds were still occupied. In the end we received our right beds but our clothing that we left in our supposed beds has been taken by the staff, what they of course denied. After long discussion they found our clothing between their stuff!Aditionally the restrooms of the bar downstairs were dirty and smelly.Don't go there!

Overall, it's a good enough hostel to stay for a short period. Super friendly staffs, very clean, free towels and I like the fact that there's a lamp, outlets, and curtains for each bed EXCEPT one room that I had to stay for two nights which is on 6th floor. It's kinda far from everything but.. you can take a metro that goes to almost everywhere without a transfer.

Couldn't hear the noise from the bar. Breakfast was pretty good, although the yogurt needs some work!

Very clean, but quite far from the centre of Paris. Some staff were great, but it took us over 2 hours to check in because the computer system was 'slow'. Apparently this happened a lot. Very expensive to buy food and drinks from the hostel, so I would recommend going to the main street nearby and stopping at a French cafe.

It was great staying at St Christopher's Inn. The only problem we had was with one of the staff, she was not so nice. However, apart from that it was a very good hostel.

I arrived before check-in 2pm, they do have the coin lockers downstairs for your baggage. The locker is big enough but need some money for it(around 4EUR for 6hrs) There is the bar at main floor and room is very big with storage under the bed. The location just along the river and not far from the metro and supermarket nearby open till 2100. They do have the free breakfast and free wifi. Good for the travelers and the one for the party as well.

The hostel is far from the main spots, altough it is really near from a metro station. Bedroom and showers were really good, but the staff wasn't either friendly or helpful.
