The atmosphere was very pleasant, apart from the cleanliness of the bathrooms, which stank, always had wet floors, small shower cubicles and the air conditioning in the room which didn't cool the room down (I can't imagine what it must be like in summer). But overall, everything was very cosy and well decorated. The view of the square from the rooftop is beautiful, not to mention the convenience of having a metro at the door and several restaurant options nearby. Great service from all the staff

It’s right next to the metro which is really really handy. Supermarket is right next door. Room was clean, bathroom was clean. The whole Place was quiet. The only complaints I would have is that my room was hotter than hell. I could barely Sleep at all because of the extreme sun-like scorching temperature of my Room. It was like sleeping in an oven. Or more precisely, like NOT sleeping in an oven, juat being in an oven all night long wishing you were sleeping. Other that my heat strokes is wasok

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.
