I really recommend this hostel if you're looking for something cheap in Paris! We were two girls but felt very safe in and around the hostel. Also the staff was super friendly and it was nice to have a little breakfast every morning. Keep in mind that you cannot enter your room between 11.00 and 15.00, but we were always in the city at that time, so for us it was no problem at all and our room would be clean after :)

The hostel is really nice, the staff is friendly and helpful and it has an amazing location. I really enjoyed my stay in there! The only thing that I would have changed is the rule where we can’t be in the room from 11 am to 3pm because of the cleaning system but apart from that I really like the place 😊

About Paris

The City of Lights is one of the best places in Europe for a romantic weekend getaway, but it’s no stranger to backpackers or solo travellers. Paris is overflowing with museums, galleries and historical monuments to explore. It’s also the perfect place to sit back and watch the world go by in one of the many cafes.

Thanks to its reputation in the backpacker community, there are all kinds of cheap youth hostels in Paris to choose from. You can expect the usual benefits like free internet and breakfast, but some of the best hostels in Paris give you the option of relaxing on a waterfront terrace with a cold drink in hand.

Most Paris youth hostels are north of the river, but you won’t struggle to find cheap accommodation in the South either. Regardless of where you stay, there are shared dorms and private rooms, plus friendly hostel staff who can tell you all about the best spots normally reserved for locals.

Check out our guide on where to stay in Paris for a full rundown of the best areas.

You'll never cover it all in one trip, but make time to visit one of these amazing vegan restaurants in Paris in between all the sightseeing.

Getting from Charles de Gaulle airport to the city centre is easy with the shuttle bus that runs throughout the day. If you’re taking the Eurostar, you’ll arrive at Gare Du Nord, which is puts you within walking distance of cheap Paris hostels, plus the Metro if you’re staying further out.

As for getting around town, the Metro is an affordable option, with tickets starting from just €1.90 for a single trip. If you’re staying for a week or more, consider purchasing a Navigo pass. The bus is another cheap option for getting around Paris that lets you take in more of the sights, or if you want a more unique take on Paris, the Batobus lets you take in the city from the river Seine.
