Reviews of St Christopher's Inns - Paris

17 October 2011 Morgan would recommend this property

Liked: I loved my stay at St Christopher's! I made so many great friends her, the staff are realy helpful and know Paris like the back of their hands, and the facilities are great- with big rooms and lockers (bring your own padlock) that were big enough to fit everything you own, and the computer room. it was also great to have Belushi's bar right there downstairs, and the club too. Such a nice vibe to the place, great to hang out and they have good food too. Go chat to Marty at the bar, he's the greatest!

Disliked: I kind of wished they had a kitchen or perhaps even a communal fridge but it was fine because they provided breakfast and you want to be having a belushi's meal or be at a parisian cafe the rest of the time!

Liked: Easily the best hostel I've ever stayed in in terms of character and amenities. The facility is VERY clean and the beds (which have curtains for privacy - awesome!) are comfortable. Rooms are equipped with desks and chairs and they're pretty spacious so you can just chill out when you're tired from the day. There's free wifi in the Internet room, and free breakfast in the morning which is plain but quite good. The downstairs bar Belushi's also serves great food and it has flat screens everywhere so it's nice to sit and watch a game or something. Staff are very friendly an helpful, and there's a free walking tour (great way to start in the city and meet some other travelers).

Disliked: The location is a little irritating as the hostel is about 20 mins from main attractions but metro is easily accessible so it's very minor. It's more on the expensive end (30 euros) though honestly it's worth every penny, the service is just too good. No real complaints here St Christophers is an extremely good hostel.

Liked: The beds were comfortable and didn't squeak a lot, like many other bunks I have encountered in the hostels.

Disliked: The elevator can be dominated by staff at times, and the should give priority to guests. Like the other St Christopher's, the seem to be more interested in the bar; the hostel is an afterthought. The bathrooms have a stinky smell to them. Also, the dorm rooms don't lock properly, so anyone can enter.

Liked: Discount if yuo have stayed there before, breakfast included, nice staff and bar.

Disliked: Small bunks that feel like you're in a coffin. Bathroom very dirty, bunk curtain had weird mess on it. Very big, have to wait for lift to get up to floor. Lockers very noisy so at night and morning woken up easily. Quite a dodgey area and bit of a trek out of town so you will be spending a bit on travel each day too. I recommend paying a few Euro extra and heading closer to city.

Liked: Very modern hostel. Rooms are comfortable - each person gets their own little compartment with lockers and a curtain. Staff and bar is nice.

Disliked: Elevator was broken the whole time I was there. A little out of the way (several minutes walk to metro station). Showers can get a little dirty.

11 October 2011 patricia would recommend this property

Liked: it was very nice atmosphere and I love the curtains that make your bed a little bid more private

Disliked: well the only think was that I booked for 2 nights and they told me that I was going to stay 1 night in 1 room and the next one in another one.... so it was quite annoying to have to move and then wait until check in to get to the new one.

Liked: The staff at St Christopher's Inns - Paris were incredibly friendly and helpful. The privacy curtains on each bunk was a nice touch. The lockers under the bottom bunk were pretty big, bring your own large padlock and you're in business. Electric outlets were located within your bunk space, making it easy to charge your phone or laptop without having to wait for others. There is also a mini light within each bunk, but it's more of a night light, not very bright. The linen was very clean. The Continental breakfast was very tasty (except the bread on the first morning, but the second day forward was much better). The location along side the river with the drawbridge was charming. I have to say that the atmosphere all around the hostel was fun and upbeat. Metro train stations were within walking distance and a bus operated on the same street as the hostel throughout the day and there is an overnight bus stop within walking distance. This section of Rue De Crimee was loaded with families (parents, children and older people) which was very comforting. There was plenty of hot water with great pressure at all times. The mini internet cafe provided good food and soft drinks at a reasonable price. The regular restaurant also had good food. In the evening, the restaurant shifts to more of a bar atmosphere (mostly for the 20 something crowd, but older patrons were there too) all friendly for the most part. The drinks were reasonably priced and the bartenders were cool(in a good way). WiFi worked well in the rooms most of the time, but I lost the signal from time to time. I would stay here again.

Disliked: The room doors slammed loudly. Noise from outside can be a nuisance during the day if you're trying to nap and at night when you're trying to get some sleep. I stayed in middle of the summer, so in order to maintain a comfortable room temp, we couldn't really shut the windows to keep the noise out. There is a fire station around the corner, so you will hear sirens at various times.

06 October 2011 PONGPUN would recommend this property

Liked: Social life in this hostel very good!! Not far from ga de Nord station. When u come hotel late . This area is very safe. A little bit have problem with wifi sometime it can't use. Ps. Don't buy walking tour to varsille palace so expensive and not include enter to main vasille building. Price just support only garden and round trip trinidad ticket. Go by yourself is cheaper than . By the way isn't service from direct this hotel just partner. I really love this hotel!! So funny :)

Disliked: cleaner bathroom

Liked: Definetly the location was perfect, next to the river and in a very nice and live neighborhood. Close to the metro station and 30 minutes by taxi to the airport (ORLY). The breakbast was quite good and plentiful and the staff very nice and helpful. I sincerely recomend it.

Disliked: Everything was quite clean although ventilation in the shared bathroom was not so good.

03 October 2011 Trust would recommend this property

Liked: The atmosphere was fabulous, most of the staff were travellers too, they were great.The lockers were very good, loved the curtains on the bed, free internet was great. They had good meals at a decent price compared to many other restaurants in Paris

Disliked: The breakfast on offer didn't do it for me. I got moved to a different room during my stay without notice, so that wasn't cool. But the new room was fine anyway. The lift was still broken, not funny if your room is on the 6th floor.

03 October 2011 Lindsay would recommend this property

Liked: The rooms were spacious and the privacy curtain on each bed was fantastic. I was worried about the bathroom situation (only 3 stalls and 3 showers per floor for each sex) but I never had to wait. The restaurant and bar downstairs was fantastic, and it was so peaceful sitting outside with a drink overlooking the canal.

Disliked: The elevator was broken for my entire stay, which made getting my luggage up to the fourth floor difficult. The wifi was great on the main floor but spotty elsewhere. I found the staff a bit unfriendly at times.

01 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Secure location. Stayed in 10 bed mixed dorm. Large lockers under the bed for backpack. Large pad lock required for hole. Curtains around beds for privacy. Bathrooms at end of hall, not in room. Several shower and toilet stalls in bathroom. Light breakfast included.

Disliked: Make sure you ask for the security deposit back for the key, they wont give it to you if you don't ask. A bit far from the center of the city, but the metro does run close by. A bit noisy, but that's what you get for staying in a large dorm.

25 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great facilities!! Could fault anything that we experience personally!! The people were great, rooms were wicked great place to stay in paris!!

Disliked: Only thing that concerned me was that we met several people who only booked a week or so ahead from there arrival. They were made to move rooms each night. These people had been asked to check out then wait till check in time to move rooms and were expected to pay for a locker to store their belongs between check out n check in time.

Liked: It has a good location, close to most things. Beds have their own curtains, light and power which is great. The luggage lockers under the bed are really big. Bed sheets and pillows are very good.

Disliked: Although the bathrooms are large, the mens always seemed dirty and the womens smelled of mold on the 4th floor. The wifi in the evening is not good at all.
