Summary of traveller reviews

St Christopher's Paris - Canal offers a friendly atmosphere and helpful staff, with comfortable beds and good security. While located a bit further from central attractions, it's well-connected by metro. Some recent guests noted rooms can be very warm, and a few mentioned issues with cleanliness in bathrooms.

The place was not as nice or clean as other hostels I've been in, and the rooms felt less secure (people talked about things having been stolen, and the lock boxes felt a bit improvised). Staff were amazing and breakfast was great though so can't really complain too much!

This has a lot of potential but sadly whoever runs it doesn’t seem to care. The bathrooms had multiple broken doors, faucets, and toilet seats. My room was so hot(it was 65F outside) and the window was broken so was the fan they put in there. They stated they couldn’t fix it and had to wait. Couldn’t stay and had to leave because of the heat issue. Please go somewhere else. Good wings tho lol.

Hostelworld says

Hostelworld users rated St Christopher's Paris the most popular Paris hostel at the 2011 Hoscars, and it's not hard to see why. We like that each of their beds has an under-bed locker, privacy curtains, a reading light, and two power outlets. This hostel contains a bar and club, with discounts on drinks and what visitors assure us is "good-value, yummy food." Our guests have said this hostel has a "good atmosphere downstairs and always [has] heaps of people around," "perfect for people that want to have some fun."
