Lift wasn't working. Front door glass had shattered. Fire door wouldn't open. Furniture in lounge/bar was worn and thread bare. I didn't expect a palace but there was no excuse for all these problems.

Owner Comment (Show)
Unfortunately it seems as though you caught us at a bad time. The lift is now fully operational, the glass door at the front is being fixed and as for the furniture; I apologise, we are now moving on to get all this sorted. It's a shame you missed all the great things about us. Kind regards, St Christopher's Inn Paris Canal

This hostel was great. Bar and restaurant on the bottom floor, and a dining room/ computer room where you can easily meet other people in the hostel. The location is not that central, but its less than 5 minutes walk to the metro which takes you everywhere. The breakfast was fine considering it was free and the rooms and bathrooms were pretty clean and spacious. My only complaint was that you have to pay at least 4 euros for a locker to leave your stuff in the luggage room.

Hi there, Firstly let me thank you for taking your time to fill out a review for us. You aren't the only person to suggest that the prices of the lockers are a little high, we do have a €2 option too however we are currently assessing a change in prices. Other than that thank you for the great comments and we hope you come back soon! Kind regards, St Christopher's Inn Paris Canal

I liked St. Christopher's Paris. It was a nice atmosphere. The wi fi could be a bit better. It was a bit far from the main touristic sites, that was my only issue.

Hi, Thank you for leaving your thoughts on our hostel. We are now working on the wi-fi hopefully we can get this sorted quickly. We are quite fortunate to have the three metro lines very close to our hostel which brings us very close to many of the main attractions. Kind regards, St Christopher's Inn Paris Canal

Stayed in a 12-bed dorm...occupants of dorm extremely rude very late at night--turn lights on at 3/4 in the morning. As a business, you need to make clear certain rules and guidelines for your occupants staying in your facilities.

St. Christopher's was fine as far as hostels go, but a little pricey for the quality.

Given the party mood and volume downstairs in the bar area, I was surprised how quiet the rooms were at night. the curtains around the bunks make the beds feel like cozy little caves, I selpt fantastically!

Hey, Thank you so much for your review, we try as hard as we can to give people a nice quiet night and the bar is far enough away from the rooms to have an easy nights sleep. We appreciate your comments and review very much. Kind regards, St Christopher's Inn Paris Canal

I would have appreciated the free computers with internet access, specially considering that no-one ever uses them on your current scheme. From my point of view, taking into account that most hostels have that service for free, this shows that you're more concerned on making business over providing a great service. A little ham, cheese and/or eggs for breakfast wouldn't hurt.

Hey, Thank you for your review. We do have a kind of free internet access with the wi-fi, however i do understand your point I will have to do some more research into the hostels in the area and assess whether we can offer free use of the computers. Thank you for the recommendation. The breakfast is a complimentary one, but hopefully we will be able to improve the selection soon, also if you wish to have something a little more substantial we do offer a breakfast menu. Kind regards, St Christopher's Inn Paris Canal

Very nice hostel. We've stayed before at the St Christopher's Berlin, which is amazing, so we decided to go for the same in Paris and fortunatly we were not dissapointed. Rooms are big, toilets and showers are ok. The best part of the building is the Bar. The staff were nice, but we did not like the neighbourhood. However, there are some nice views of the canal, around the hostel. Anyway, we did not like Paris. It's so dirty and full of weirdos, it's very expensive but not worth it, so overrated

Hey, Thanks for the kind review and it's good to hear we didn't disappoint after being compared to the berlin site. And it's encouraging that you're sticking to the brand as a whole, we must be doing something right i guess! Come back again! Kind regards, St Christopher's Inn Paris Canal

St. Christoper's is always a safe bet. Not particularly close to any of the main Paris attractions, but very convenient to the Metro. You can find cheaper food and drinks than in the bar, I ordered the nachos and they weren't worth it. dorms were great though! St. Christopher's really has the best bunk design of any hostel I've ever stayed in.

Hey, Thanks for your comments especially regarding the menu, we are currently working on a re-design so the prices will be adjusted accordingly. I recommend the Burgers, they are great in Belushi's bar. It's nice to see you appreciated our location too, the metro stations really bring everything a lot closer! Kind regards, St christopher's Inn Paris Canal

Really fun hostel bar, in a more quite location- but metro stop is really close so it's easy to get to city center
