It was a really good hostel, very clean and safe with friendly staff. It wasn't spectacularly close to anything in Paris, but it's an easy walk to the Crimee metro stop, so no complaints there. They serve free breakfast and have a great cafe/wifi area/restaurant/bar downstairs. It's everything you need. I would definitely stay here again.

PROS: Free breakfast (short time and not many options, but it's free!) Beds with curtains are great. It's pretty clean. Many showers and toilets. Staff is very friendly. CONS: Lockers are paid! Security system is weird (you have to reactivate the card very often) and will be such an issue if you and your friend are in different floors. A friend had his iPad stolen inside the hostel's cafe and nothing happened. It's quite expensive during weekends. Some rooms don't have useful wifi connection.

My stay at St Christopher's Paris was amazing. I really had great time there. ROOM = beds give us privacy and it has your own light and plugs; BATHROOM = clean enough, hot water, blowdryers for free at the reception; STAFF= very helpfull; LOCATION = very close to the metro, many stores around (cheap places to eat, atms, pharmacy, etc); SECURITY = good inside the rooms, but not in the lobby (my friend had his iphad stolen :/ ); ATMOSPHERE= great! amazing people and great place to hang out.

Hi, Thank you so much for such kind words and lovely comment. We are so happy you liked us and our facilities. We are disappointed you are rating us so low in security when we provide cameras and security all night as well as a 24 hrs reception. The person who had the Ipad stolen left it alone in the internet lounge and walked out for a few minutes, so it's really very hard to blame us on that. We are extremelly happy you had a good time though and we are looking forward to seeing you back in Paris one day again soon.

The location is quite good and the hostel itself looks great after renovations! The staff were very inefficient and unhelpful and it took us a long time to check in as they were having conversations with each other. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

Nice place to stay, the building is really beautiful and has an amazing view. Staff really kind (: Great location. The beds are also good, confortable, with the curtains with gives you a little bit of privace, wich is fantastic. Only four "complaints": 1) need to improve the internet service to the rooms 2) people making noisy at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 a.m in the room I was 3) the breakfest is a little bit poor, but its okay 4) The drains in the bathrooms were rotten.

Overall the room was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the belushis bar, and amenities offered - free breakfast was also great. Some front desk staff were mostly helpful and friendly, some were completely indifferent especially when it came to an incident where my wallet had thought to have been stolen within one of the hostel toilets. The bar staff were all very nice.

Overall had a great stay in Private room. Good atmosphere there, staff friendly and helpful, Food good but needs a greater selection, Location was good and close to metro, You get what you pay for in Paris so it met my expectations in all areas. Would recommend to any traveller wanting a good fun place to stay.

The hostel had a pretty good vibe with a restaurant and bar on the first floor. The rooms were clean (maybe a bit too warm, but thats always better than cold in the winter time!). It was a clean and comfortable place, and the reception was nice, helping me with reservations or directing me to the nearest laundry facility. While I was skeptical about the restaurant they had (Belushis) it was actually pretty good food for a discount. The location was a bit far from center but still manageable

Apart from the distance to the centre of town, this hostel was great in all other aspects. It was clean and a great place to meet others. Whilst in Paris, I had my handbag and with it all of my valuables stolen, and the staff at St Christophers played a big part in helping to calm me down- they helped me print off copies of everything I needed and were just so understanding. If you don't mind being a little far from the sights, I'd strongly recommend this hostel.

Great - so easy for a first night in Paris. Although it is a little bit far from some important places, it is still in a really nice location to visit, and if you need to be anywhere at a certain time, the metro will take you there no sweat!

Thank you for appreciating our site in Paris! Our district is really interesting if you want to discover out tourism places in the city. If you ever come back, and we always wish so, don't hesitate to ask our receptionists about interesting places and things going on in our neighbourghood, they are always updated with events and directions nearby!

Hi... We are disappointed to know you didn't like our staff so much. We are always making sure that everyone has a warm welcome and feel safe and "at home" Our security staff is trainned to act upon any suspetion of danger towards our guests and therefore they have to be strict but never violent. We will make sure that this is addressed further and we will look for ways to improve our ways of securying the place for all of our guests. We are happy to see that the overall stay was a great one and we hope to see you back again in Paris soon. We will make sure that you will be able to see the amazing things we do daily in order to make your stay better each and every time.
