St Christopher's Paris Canal

I could not recommend this place enough! I was a solo traveller with little planning and experience for 5 weeks, and in that time stayed in multiple places that were quite cuvo5jubad-so I was very nervous to come to Paris and book a place here, only booking for 1 night just in case, but extended my stay here for as long as I could. I got a many bed female only dorm, and the rooms were super spacious and didn't even feel like you were sharing with 13 (i think) other people at all. Everything was well cleaned by lovely cleaning staff, the events every night were fun and super sociable, where I made some great friends each night. The staff were all amazing and friendly, and the receptionist Lys (I believe that is her name!) Was especially helpful, doing so many things at once with ease and kindness. The other receptionist was also great but I unfortunately didn't get her name. The hostel is also just on the canal so I got to eat my breakfast delicious (and affordable) buffet by the swans which was lovely. The place was awesome and I highly recommend 😀

The location is good; it's not close to the tourist attractions, but it's very close to the subway. PROS: - The staff are friendly, I really liked the service. - The security is very good, I felt quite safe. - There's a bar downstairs, but it's not very cheap. There's a microwave. - The rooms have a sink and mirror, plus a desk. CONS: - The bathroom is a bit lacking in cleanliness; it was quite dirty more than once when I went to use it. The shower water, even on the hottest setting, is still cold; on the coldest day of my stay, I ended up freezing. - I found the luggage storage area a bit uncomfortable; it's metal, making a lot of noise even when I'm careful, and sometimes people need to retrieve things in the middle of the night, which ends up being a nuisance. - The light in the bunk bed is very dim, very dim, barely illuminating anything. - One thing I found quite negative was the blankets, which were very thin (the thinnest of any hostel I've ever stayed in), and the pillows were terrible. OTHERS: - If you forget, they have slippers, hygiene kits, padlocks, towels for sale (very expensive).

The view from the bar is beautiful, and the reception staff is super friendly. The only thing I didn't like was the small common area. There was only a microwave in terrible condition, no stove, and no kettle to heat water.

The receptionist Brian's service was amazing! I saw the room, and it faces the street and is very spacious. The bathrooms are clean. The price and service are very good. There's a bar and a vending machine. I liked it. I'm traveling alone, and this environment helps me avoid feeling lonely.

Some of the workers are really nice. Everything is kept nice and clean. I can say there is toilet paper, a hairdryer, showers and a restaurant. Keep in mind the lockers are under the beds so you need to bring a big lock to lock it... They sell many things you may miss at the reception. You pay extra for a key card to get into your room. Food at the restaurant is affordable and yummy. There's a microwave in the lounge.

A few steps from Villette park, highly recommended for solo travelers. There are two metro stops nearby. You can easily find inexpensive shops and groceries in the area

Nice experience, impeccable bathrooms, good breakfast for 7 euros, at reception there is the beautiful Anita who is a sweetheart and speaks to you in the language you want, preferably in Spanish, the location is good because you have subways nearby. I would return on my next stay in Paris.

The hostel in general is good. The rooms are spacious and have huge cage-style lockers. They have curtains which gives some privacy. The bathrooms are communal and are kept very clean. Nice views of the canal. Location: it is far from the central area but very well connected to transport (5 and 7 metro). In my experience, it didn't seem like an unsafe area, it was lonely at night, but I always found people. Very busy during the day. Common area: almost non-existent. In principle it does not have kitchen space or refrigerator. There is a seating area where there is a microwave and a coffee machine (paid). The problem is that they reserve private events so if you buy food outside and want to eat right now, you can't. There is a bar next door to consume (paid) and where they serve breakfast (7 euros with advance payment)

The hostel is well located, a few blocks from the subway station, with a beautiful view of the canal, and there is an area at the bottom where people pass by day and night and the police patrol. The hostel staff is attentive, one of the employees is Brazilian and speaks Portuguese, the staff is mostly women, and also includes English and French speakers. Final considerations are that the rooms are a little stuffy and could be cleaner, as could the toilets. The sheets should be changed regularly, and the flow of people coming and going at night should be less, in my opinion. Positive feedback for the attentiveness of the staff, breakfast is buffet style, drinks and snack machines are available at the reception, and there is a lounge with free Wi-Fi.

I loved. Very functional hostel, there are a lot of Brazilians, no difficulties with the language, the services are good and accessible. It is close to two metro lines. Excellent place, I walked at night, arrived at the airport early in the morning, without danger.

A nice hostel away from the tourist center of Paris. It is the biggest weakness of this accommodation. Afterwards, everything is excellent (staff, breakfast, amenities within the place)

I came here to describe my experience at this hostel. As soon as I arrived at the reception, two friendly girls greeted me, and there was also a security guard. I paid a fee of 4 euros and they gave me two euros back on the day of check-in. One of them gave me a card that I used to access the entrance to the hallway that led to the rooms, which I used the same card to open. The room had bunk beds and the limit was eight women. There were curtains on all the beds, a cell phone socket, Wi-Fi, a lamp, sheets, pillows and blankets. The room was quite messy, but that's not the hostel's fault, but the people who stay there. The bathrooms were clean, there was liquid soap and hot water for showering. Be careful, you need to bring your own towel. In the morning, there is coffee until 11:00 am. I paid 7 euros for the two days I stayed, but you can pay 5 euros when booking online. At night, it turns into a pub, very cool, and for those who stay at the hostel there is a 25% discount. Conclusion: for the price, it was a great backpacking experience. Of course, if you want more privacy and luxury, it wouldn't be the right place. But in my opinion it was great, because I only needed the place to sleep, take a shower and have coffee. End.

The location of the hostel is good, there is a metro station very close by, some restaurants and grocery stores. The breakfast is good and cheaper than anything you would eat on the street. Despite being a little hot, I found the rooms to be good (the curtain helps a lot with privacy). The only negative point is that they don't seem to have good control over bed occupancy: I booked 3 beds directly with them in the same room, but when we arrived one of the beds was occupied. When we spoke to the reception, they told us that they would offer a bed in another room and that they couldn't do anything, but they gave us breakfast because of the discomfort (the next day my friend managed to come to our room). So, if you go with friends, don't expect to stay in the same room at first as it seems to be a very common situation of reserving the same bed for more than one person. The staff, however, is very friendly and there are activities throughout the night at the hostel.

I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights. Although it is not close to the main tourist attractions in Paris, it is very close to the metro. So I took that into account in my rating. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, the bathrooms were clean and there were people cleaning constantly. There was a restaurant and bar service inside the hostel. I was satisfied. The downside is that the elevator did not work. And my room was on the fifth floor. This made it a bit tiring to have to go up and down several times. At the end of the trip, I tried to store my backpack after checking out and was charged €8. Normally, in the hostels I use around the world, this is not charged for those who have stayed there for a few days.

Since the reception the staff was more than kind and helpful, in case you forgot something, at modest prices they have everything you need. The bar is excellent from breakfast to the evening, with lots of screens to watch sporting events and in the evening they also organize events. The subway is a step away and quite convenient to move everywhere. The only negative note is the small number of bathrooms and showers available, but for the rest everything is excellent.

Hostel right next to the canal, good location for getting around with bikes and metro. It has a common room with glass walls and giant pillows where you can spend time relaxing, the only one in the building with air conditioning. Nice free breakfast buffet if you book from their website. Otherwise a pancake and a coffee €10. Super friendly, smiling and courteous staff, they helped me with various small things and I really appreciated it. I gave four stars because we have a problem: the rooms to sleep in have no air conditioning or fan, it was practically agony to sleep, it was 40 degrees in Paris, in a room with a window that only opens a little it was a pain to stay overnight. The heat is suffocating and there is no air circulation, at night when the air is cooler you can survive but during the day it is unbearable because it is an oven. I found it absurd that the management did not think about this. It was ok because I slept a couple of nights but if it had been more I would have cancelled the reservation because it is bad to be in the room, then the elevator doesn't work and my room was on the fourth floor.

I have been to many hostels but this one impressed me the most! The place is very nice and both the bar and the rooms are very well-kept. All the staff is very kind, especially at the reception. Candela was very kind and helped me look for shops nearby. Thanks to her I participated in the events they do every night.

5 nights in this hostel where the people who welcome you speak several languages and it is truly a beautiful thing. The staff is kind and friendly. The reception is always efficient. They welcomed us in the best way. They met our needs. Nothing to say. Possibility of renting a hairdryer by leaving your identity card (which is returned when it is returned). Laundry service. If you book directly on the site, breakfast is also included (basic, but that satisfies all tastes). Convenient prices. Located on the canal and a few steps from the metro. Excellent location. Connections even at night. Thanks to all the staff. See you soon. ♥️
