Hi, Thank you for leaving a review for us and all to see. It's understandable that you have problems with people in the room staying up and talking, perhaps a simple word could fix the situation. Obviously this is something we would love to be able to control but simply can't guarantee. We have ear plugs available should you require them next time. It's great to see that the staff were doing their best to make you comfortable. We hope you're back soon. St Chris Paris

Thanks for your response. We will use this as an opportunity to improve ourselves to remain the best hostel in Paris. We understand we have to try a lot harder and will do so should you come back to Paris. Kind regards, St Chris Paris

Really fun hostel, good facilities.

Very clean hostel; there was a slight issue with overbooking in my room (the computer system had malfunctioned), but I wasn't affected. Since they have a restaurant, there is no kitchen, but it's Paris and I ate out most of my meals anyway. If you're a super budget traveler, this may be an issue for you, but they do give 25% off their food which makes it fairly reasonable (but not store-bought cereal and eggs reasonable).

Main complaint is no kitchen, just a microwave. I´m sure they want you to spend for food in the attached bar. Best was the staff, animated and friendly. Wasn´t that secure as a guy followed me in off the street and ended up in my hostel room, which didn´t always close properly. Thankfully there were enough people in the room to deter any unwanted advances and he left... Bathrooms dirty and in disrepair, at least on floor 5 where I was, but I threw up on my bed so I can´t complain much too...

Oh dear! Threw up on the bed, I'm sure it had something to do with the creepy man following you. We're sorry this happened, we'll be a lot more vigilant. Unfortunately the kitchen would be a health and safety hazard of the highest level! But we'll have to look into preparation areas etc. and the bathrooms, are fast becoming top priority due to our increase in customers, don't you worry. On the plus side, it's great to see that the staff were great again! St Chris Paris

St. Christopher's is always a safe bet when looking for a hostel. Location could have been better but was only a 5 minute walk to the metro.

St Christopher's Paris is little bit outside of the central Paris, but a good place to stay. Staff and facilities are good. Room and bathrooms are clean. I would stay here again.

Had a totally bad experience! I lost my wallet and tried to ask for help with staffs. But, they told me that don't call police and will try to find the thief by monitor. Then, when I came back afternoon, the staff told me that they couldn't find the thief . And, I felt really bad, they didn't want me to call police because they were afraid that this stolen event will destroy their reputation. I totally felt they don't care customer's feeling and don't have any empathy!

Overall this place was really good.. Showers were clean

The staff were not happy or nice during check-in. They messed up my bed assignment and then were pissed when the bed assignments in the room were off and made me feel like it was my fault, even though it was their mistake. The breakfast was decent, but because the less than friendly staff, I would not stay here again. It was decently clean though.

Hey, Its such a shame you had bad experiences, We apologise deeply for this. Occasionally mistakes can happen, especially when in busy periods, however this is not something that should be blamed on you. I will take full responsibility and aim to ensure this kind of mistake wont happen again. Im happy you enjoyed our brand new breakfast, its something we improved for our more than deserving customers. Im sure when you come back youll see the vast improvements in staff! St Chris Paris

A little isolated from the city center and located in the international district. Good place to meet people and hang out, but not so great for experiencing Paris due to isolated location and temptation to just stay in the hostel. :) Adjoins a bar but there is no kitchen or fridges.

the hostel is very good, the only thing that wasn't good was the internet that didn't work that well.

Hostel is great with good staff and a cool lounge and bar downstairs where you can meet a lot of the other guests. Facilities are good, the only downside to this hostel is it's a bit out of the way but if you take the metro there's no problem getting around the city, it just takes a little bit of time. Great hostel regardless.

Hi, Thanks so much for the kind words in your review, the close metro stations really bring the town and all sights much closer. It's so nice to see that the staff were great throughout your stay. Come back for more great experiences in Paris! Kind regards, St Chris Paris

Seemed more like a busy hotel than a hostel. Front desk staff always busy with something else and you are not first priority, like they didnt want to be there. Good bar with lots of seating downstairs. Large dorm rooms with table, 2 chairs, and sink. Large unlocked window you can use to climb onto scaffold type balcony (awesome). Walking distance to 0 sights, but 2 metro stops fairly close. Good wifi downstairs, ok/spotty wifi in room. Fairly quiet. Would find a smaller hostel if in Paris again.

Thanks for leaving your thoughts. Its a shame you didnt have a good experience with our staff. This is very uncommon, we may have to look into hat has happened in more detail. Its pleasing to see that youve enjoyed the bar and restaurant however. Unfortunately it seems as though, someone had tampered with your window, so we will be sure to fix this asap, due to health and safety reasons. Its very rare youll find places close to lots, we have 3 metros to bring things closer. St Chris

The WiFi is in and out all over the hostel, you can't just check your email in the bar area without ordering anything. I had a blast there but as a woman traveling alone there are a bunch of super creepy touchy men all over the hostel due to the neighborhood, the bar, and the club down stairs. Curtains on the beds are nice though.
