St Christopher's Paris Canal

St Christopher's Inn Canal Paris

Not many hostels can boast a waterfront terrace overlooking Canal Saint Martin, but we can! In addition to all the typical things you find in hostels, St. Christopher's has an awesome bar and restaurant where guests can mingle with locals and enjoy discounts on food and drink. And if you're looking for some activities, be sure to check their event schedule for free walking tours, party nights, drink deals, and more! Located close to Montmartre, and only 3 stops away from Gare du Nord, you're close enough to the necessities but far away enough to get an authentic Parisian experience. Most major landmarks can be reached within 20 minutes on the metro, and if you're visiting in the warmer months, grab a bottle of wine, head to the canal, and take in the vibe of this trendy Parisian neighbourhood! We offer a variety of dorms, ranging from 4-12 beds (including female-only), and private rooms for those looking for a bit of extra comfort. Every room includes electronic key security, secure locker storage, private or shared bathrooms, and elevator access. Our modern hostel 'POD' beds offer curtains for extra privacy as well as comfort and are fitted with power plugs and reading lights to help you rest and relax during your stay.

    Rooms with beds with curtains. There is an individual locker in the rooms (you need your own padlock). There is a heater in the rooms. Bathrooms with hot water and hairdryer, the disadvantage is that the shower has a timer, but it is possible to take a shower without the water stopping, just by pressing it every minute. It has a laundry room. The downside is that it doesn't have a kitchen or utensils, just the bar (which is in the same place as the hostel). There is a market and two metro stations nearby

    My first experience in a hostel, the service was excellent, the staff mostly speaks English or Spanish and are very friendly, you are close to two stations, lines M and T, it is a very nice area with a canal where You have cinemas and restaurants, my only drawback was the bed trunks. In my case, mine made a lot of noise and was located at the entrance to the room, but hey, it was part of the experience of living with more people. I'll leave you with a view of the room. sunrise in the restaurant/breakfast room

    The staff was very kind to me. Cages to store belongings need a large lock. There are spiders in the men's bathrooms. In general my stay has been good.

    The Hostel is super well located and has easy access to the metro. Comfortable beds and always clean bathrooms. I would like to highlight the excellent service provided by Priscila and Lys at the reception, friendly and very helpful in everything. I will certainly be back!

    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)

    Breakfast was quite good (for 7 euros). Good location, close to the Crimeé metro. I had a good experience with the cleaning of the bathrooms. They also provide lockers to store your things, I was able to buy a padlock at the reception. They gave me an exchange drink because I couldn't have a prepaid breakfast day (equivalent in price) 🌸🐱☀️ It's actually a very good option. You can even manage your transportation with them.

    Roman helped us, check in to our rooms, was great service we also got a free drink, so that was super cool! The room we got was super nice, had our own private bathroom too! The only bad things I'd say was the mattresses were weird cause they were two thin mattresses on one bed and you'd fall between the cracks or matress would fall off the side! There is a bar incorporated into the hostel and they were having a Halloween party that night so it was loud until about 2am! We did have to pay for breakfast the next morning, which was alright, but they could definitely have more options such as bacon and eggs, maybe some french toast! Overall would recommend, was good for a hostel and the price we paid!

    I came here to describe my experience at this Hostel. As soon as I arrived at the reception, two friendly girls attended to me, there was a security guard too. I paid a fee of 4 euros and they refunded me two euros on the day of check in. One of them gave me a card that was used to access the entrance door 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 for eight women. There were curtains on all beds, cell phone sockets, Wi-Fi, lamps, sheets, pillows and blankets. The room was quite messy, but this is no longer the fault of the Hostel, but of the people who frequent it. The bathrooms were clean, there was liquid soap and hot water for showers. Attention, you need to bring a towel. In the morning there is coffee until 11:00, I paid 7 euros for the two days I stayed, 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, shower and drink coffee. End.

    The hostel is beautifully located by the river, you can take a nice walk along it. But it is very decentralized and on the outskirts of the city. You can still get to the center relatively quickly on foot (at least compared to Berlin, where I come from). My mixed dormitory was on the 4th floor at the very back in the hallway (probably very unlucky). This meant that I always had to walk a lot of stairs because there was no elevator went and the men's toilet was at the exact other end of the hall. The people in my room were all very friendly and considerate. In the evening the lights were always off and there was only whispering. There was a table and two chairs where you can also eat or play something of your choice. The locker in the room is quite large and right under the double bunk bed. There is also a locker in the basement. There is also a sink and a room in the room and the bathroom has several sinks and showers that squeak when you adjust the temperature but are otherwise good. Unfortunately it is quite stuffy in the room and bathroom in summer, the windows can only be opened very slightly. But the setting was nice and you could hear street musicians in the afternoon. The staff was nice, check-in and check-out worked great. The security guards were nice too. In the evening there is a beer pong game in the bar, which you can take part in for free. There are always a lot of people there in the evenings, but the loud music is a bit annoying. You can also sit by the water on a kind of terrace except in the evening, but without exception it was always full because it is very small. In the evenings there are a lot of homeless people hanging around along the river and near the metro station and it quickly feels unpleasant. One followed me and wanted money, another kept checking on me. There isn't a lot of choice of good food nearby, especially for vegetarian or vegan food you have to walk at least 20 minutes.

    Very friendly staff, the room and bathroom were tidy and there was a locker directly under the bed (you need your own padlock, but you can buy one cheaply at reception). The only thing was that the area seemed a little unsafe in the evenings.

    We were there one night. The rooms and washrooms are very clean and have good and secure luggage storage facilities. When we had a problem with our roommates, we were helped with a lot of heart and commitment even at 11 p.m. (especially the employee Soumana). The lounge areas also offer many opportunities to end your evening. There are also daily food and drink offers.

    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 in the same room directly with them, 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 for 3 nights in this hostel. Despite not being close to the main tourist attractions in Paris, it is very close to the metro. So I factored that into the score. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, clean bathrooms and with people cleaning constantly. Restaurant and bar services inside the hostel. I was satisfied. The downside is that the elevator doesn't work. And my room was on the fifth floor. This makes it a little tiring having 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. Usually in the hostels I use around the world, this is not charged for those who stayed a few days.

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

    Hostel close to the canal, good location for getting around by bike 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 buffet breakfast if you book from their website. Otherwise a pancake and a coffee €10. Super friendly, smiling and courteous staff, they helped me with various little things and I really appreciated it. I give four stars because we have a problem: the rooms for sleeping are without air conditioning or fans, it was practically agony to sleep, it was 40 degrees in Paris, in a room with a window that opens only slightly it was a pain to stay overnight . The heat is suffocating and no air circulates, at night when the air is cooler you can survive but during the day it is unsustainable because it is an oven. I found it absurd not to think about this on the part of the management. It was ok because I slept a couple of nights but if it had been more DJ I would have canceled the reservation because it feels bad in the room, then the elevator doesn't work and my room was on the fourth floor.

    I've 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 looked after. All the staff are very kind, especially at reception. Candela was very kind and helped me look for shops nearby. Thanks to her I participated in the events they do every evening.
