I was stayed for a week.Hostel was nice but a bit far from centre, anyway easy to take metro. Room prize was expensive a bit but breakfast was good. The toilet was dirty, bed 6 night without cleaning. You have to pay for locker.

The biggest draw-back to St Christopher's is their lack of kitchen. The breakfast is good though, cereal and baguettes! The rooms are fairly nice and pretty clean, and the privacy curtains on the bed are really nice. There is a serious mold problem in the 5th floor ladies bathroom, so it smells horrible, the bathrooms on the other floors are pretty ok though. lockers are super pricey, so brink a padlock with you.

Everything was great, close to a metro so its easy to get everywhere. Good place to sleep for price. Everything in Paris is a little more expensive so for the 25 a night, it wasnt a bad deal. They offer these giant locked metal grates under the beds which really helps when you want to leave your stuff. Just bring your own lock cause the one they sell you isn't the best quality.

I stayed with St Christopher's Inn in Prague, which is why I chose to stay with them in Paris as well. I was very happy to see that the hostel maintained the same standards in Paris - very clean, cheap and great location. I will definitely stay here again, recommend it to my friends and also use St Christopher's Inn in other cities (if they have a hostel there of course!).

Regarding the location of the hostel, the good thing is that it is located near a train station but the bad thing is that it is not the main train station. There is a very vibrant aura when i entered the hostel and the dorms and i love how they have curtains for each bed that keeps the light out and provides some privacy. Also within each bed area, you have a reading light and 2 power points. There is free breakfast provided but utensils and cups always seem to be in shortage.

Thank you so much for your nice comments and for rating us online. We will make sure that we pass your comments on the utensils to our team responsible. We love those curtains too. They are in our opinion a charm in itself ;-) Please feel free to come back whenever you want and experience more of this great aura you mentioned online. We would be very happy having you back again soon

I've already recommended this hostel to friends on their way to Paris! The location is great, the staff were helpful, and the living arrangements were really unmatched, as far as hostels go. The best hostel I've ever stayed in. My ONLY issue was how the fifth floor hallway flooded when it rained, and then it smelled like poop, which made my morning commute to the bathroom extra invigorating. But otherwise, it was wonderful.

Convenient location not too far from Pais Gare Du Nord and 2 metro stops at Laumiere on Line 5 and Crimee on Line 7. Good view of the river and shops around

I have stayed at St. christopher's before in Paris and also other cities in Europe. I like the one in Paris the least. There is nothing really around the hostel in terms of restaurants or bars, although the metro is pretty close. The food at the restaurant in the hostel is pretty bad. The Caesar salad is essentially salad with mayonnaise, and the pizza/wraps aren't very good either. When I went, the elevators were broken and I had to carry three suitcases up five flights of stairs

Hi, We are very disappointed you didn't like our hostel in Paris. We are always striving for the best and we are genuinely sorry that this wasn't the situation for you. We have loads of nice bars and restaurants in the area that are vibrant and we will make sure to speak to our reception team again to make sure they always know these places to send our guests over should they wish to have a night out or simply dinner else where. I will also pass your comments to our kitchen chef so he can look into it immediately. As for the lift, this was an isolated episode and we suffer as much as our guests when it's out of order but the company that provides support works at their own pace and the only thing we can do when it happens, is to wait assistance as no one in the building is qualified to fix it - we are very sorry you experienced that. Please come back again, and let us show you how great changes we do daily in order to make sure every guest's stay is exceptional.

Great hostel. Good facilities and rooms. Fairly close to the train station. Downstairs restaurant/bar was really good and there was something going on there just about every night.

Staff were quite friendly, the hostel is about 5 minute walk from the nearest metro station (took about 30 minutes to get to the Eiffel Tower on the metro) Lone female traveller might want to be a bit more careful walking alone at night, as some area around the hostel is quite run down. The hostel has a very nice atmosphere, has a restaurant/bar bit and a separate room with larger tv screen and computers. Bathrooms and toilets are clean, bed comfortable.

Muy bueno. Habitaciones nuevas y muy cómodas, con detalles que me gustaron como que cada cama tiene una cortina y varios enchufes. Baños comodos y amplios. Muy bueno el bar y el espacio común. El barrio es tranquilo y agradable, no esta en pleno centro pero tiene a 2 cdras 2 lineas de subte y se llega rápido a todos los lugares. Solo pondría mas percheros en las habitaciones.

Don't change a thing about your hostel, other than the plumbing of the toilette femme on the 5th floor. That wasn't too pleasant. Also, cleaning at 10 AM of the bathrooms isn't too nice when you're trying to get ready. Otherwise, I LOVED the bar, the club, the people, atmosphere, everything. had the time of my life here. Thank you. Paris would not have been the same with you, St. Christopher's.

Very clean, nice and new facilities. Met some interesting people during my stay. Location is not bad, as it is close to a metro stop, although far from downtown area. Liked my stay there.

Really nice place, clean and secured. Maybe it's a bit far from the main atractions, and sometimes can be very noicy for the bar that it's inside of it, which go people who's not from the hostel. I wouldn't recommend it to people that want a quite atmosphere, but overall it was really good for me.

The stay at St. Christopher's was a blast, clean, secure and comfortable, also seemed like a great place to meet new people with the bar downstairs. The location was ok, not as close to the centre as we would have liked, but there is a metro station 5 mins down the road, and the public transport is fantastic. so all in all I would definitely stay there again

I had a pretty good stay here. It was clean, comfortable, close to the Metro, and the food wasn't bad. The staff were really nice, and the people there were beyond awesome. Really liked the amenities, like reading lamps at all beds, etc, and clean bathrooms, but had to change rooms every night which meant checking out, paying for a locker, and checking back in.

We stayed in the 12 person room, and the room was very spacious and had a nice view. Internet is free in bar area and common area. The staff helped us book our Moulin Rouge tickets. Breakfast was Ok, but we really can't complain because it is free. The milk was warm at breakfast. The bathroom was clean. The shower required to push it for it to stay on.

Hi, Thanks for the review and for the comments online. we are sorry you had to wait for the lift for a long time. We usually have to take all the linen to be changed to the floors and that can be a little task in itself. We are really happy that you enjoyed our hostel and that you had a good time here and we are really looking forward to the day you come back, which we hope it will be soon
