Summary of traveller reviews

St Christopher's Paris - Canal offers a vibrant social atmosphere, with many guests enjoying the lively bar and opportunities to meet fellow travellers. The location by the canal is pleasant, and the property is generally clean with helpful staff. However, recent reviews frequently mention a lack of air conditioning, making rooms uncomfortably hot, especially during warmer months. Some guests also note the location is a bit far from central attractions.

overall a really nice stay but the room is very poorly ventilated. lack of ac wasn't such a big issue, it didn't get too hot but the windows don't open more than a couple cm and it was a big room with 12 people. the whole place was a bit smelly. the showers are kind of nasty, lots of bugs around. the hostel is located far from the main attractions but it's a lively area around the canal. met some very nice people but probably wouldn't stay here again.

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."
