Christel
Good welcome; clear explanations; possibility of arriving late; very clean and room made; what is needed (soap towel); and despite my fears (a youth hostel during the tourist season and on top of that a 4th of July... I was scared!) it was quiet and I slept well; and there weren't too many noisy "early risers" :)

Well located in Paris, near the Metro, the Parc des Buttes Chaumont and the Canal Saint Martin... The little extra: the bar on the 9th floor and the view of the rooftops of Paris (and the SacréCoeur) TOP!!!

Ideal (value for money) for my short stay in Paris/Paris region!

The room with 8 beds was quiet because it is separated in two parts. The access to the Metro Commerce is very close. The cleaning staff is very friendly. was in Paris for work. I recommend this location !

Welcome to Paris

What is it about Paris? Aspiring artists want to hang out there, lovers want to propose there, foodies long to eat there. But let’s go beyond the classics – when you book a hostel or student acommodation in Paris you’ll also discover underground bars, digital arts centres and pop-up parks by the river. And since the city is enduringly popular with backpackers and students alike, there’s a great range of cheap and central places to stay to choose from. Discover the side of modern Paris the films don’t show. And if you still fancy dining on steak frites and stealing a kiss as the sun goes down over Montmartre, you can do that too. It's a win-win!

Les Berges de Seine

This string of quirky features and free attractions is bringing new life to a 1.5 mile stretch of the river, attracting a mix of backpackers, tourists and locals. Don’t miss the floating garden designed by artist Niki de Saint Phalle, composed of five islands connected by bridges.

Promenade Plantée

Eiffel Tower

The first thing on many backpackers’ lists, La tour Eiffel has been offering remarkable views across the city since 1889. There are stairs to the first and second levels, but you’ll need to use the lift to reach the third-level observatory, where you’ll find a neat little champagne bar. Cheers!
