Hostel of the Week: St Christopher's Inn Gare du Nord, Paris

With the French Open, Nuit des Musées, the Paris Book Fair and the Paris Marathon all kicking off this year, it’s no secret that Paris is hot stuff. You will need a reliable base there for maximum fun! Just two minutes from Gare du Nord train station, this “Most Popular Hostel in Paris” Hoscar winner is the perfect environment in which to meet fellow travellers. With private rooms, free city tours and 25% off food and drink all part of the sweet deal, there’s no place more charming to recuperate after a day of exploring the less touristy side of the city.

Make no mistake, St Christopher’s is a bonafide “play hard” hostel, bringing the life and soul to any party 7 DAYS A WEEK! For starters there’s Belushi’s, the biggest international bar in Paris. The factory vibe pulls in a cool crowd and the everlasting 2 for 1 drink deal ensures you can dance your tush off every night. The hostel also has a no curfew policy and a 24 hour reception so you can party in the city until the wee hours without a worry.

Need your downtime? Then retreat to your comfy bed with a privacy curtain and power bar to grab some z’s and recharge your phone. Full recuperation takes place a la manana with a free continental buffet, followed by the optional snooze in the chill out lounge.


Not only is St Christopher’s fully equipped with everything you need, the CLASS location simply makes it easy to access anywhere in Paris. It’s very near to Barbes and Montmartre for cheap bites, and the Pompidou is only a 15 minute walk away. Europe discount tickets can be booked through the hostel and there are lots of little boulangeries (bakeries) around if it’s a “chocolat chaud et un pain au chocolat” kinda day.

The multilingual staff are the icing on the cake – just read what our trusty customers had to say:
“This hostel put in the extra work as far as detail goes. It was nice to sleep w/ a privacy curtain(each bed had one) and also had it’s own light and reciprocals/usb plug in. There was no need to fight over a wall or a reciprocal to charge anything. The room had its own sink and mirrors. Locker was spacious, no need to reconfigure your bag to make it fit in a small locker. The showers were nice also, had a small corner to put your clothes without them getting wet. Best hostel I’ve stayed at.”
“Excellent hostel. Dorms and bathrooms were super clean. Great bands playing in the bar on Friday and Saturday nights! As a solo female traveler, I felt safe walking around the area at night. Will definitely be back!”
“This was the second time I’ve stayed here and it was great both times! Great facilities, clean and wonderful rooms. There was many fun events going on at the bar.”
“It was clean, a good price, safe, and fun. I didn’t realize you could even get such a deal in Paris!”
