St Christopher's Inn Paris Canal

I read some reviews saying this place was dirty and the Staff were rude. But for the price it was my the best option for me... I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by very friendly Staff who made me feel welcomed. The hostel was exceptionally clean. For the 4 nights I was there all my interactions with Staff were great. I did notice a Staff member I didn't personally  have an interaction with was quite rude to a guest who didn't speak English very well and she seemed quite short tempered. But I only saw that Staff member once and she should not be the only reflection of the people who work there because the rest were great.
There are different events in their pub in the evenings which is a great icebreaker to meet fellow travelers. The rooms are big, the breakfast is basic but gets the job done and there are curtains on the bunks.
Great hostel great location.

It’s not the cleanest hostel, but you get what you paid for. I’ve stayed in hostels that were much cleaner. The bathroom doors and handles don’t get cleaned. I stayed on the 1st floor for a week and there are was never any hand soap. Had to bring my own or go into the shower and use the bath gel. The rooms do get swept and wiped every day, but the walls and the outlet in each bunk should be wiped & sanitized. I never saw that being done by cleaning staff when someone would check out.
However, I did appreciate the work room, but it would be Hard to get work done after a certain time in the evening due to music from the bar. The food from the bar was great! Loved having the discount for food and drinks. Reception staff were very friendly, Ana was my favorite!! Great location to and from the metro!

Far exceeded my expectations. A beautiful location right next to the canal. They have events every night at 7PM that offer free drinks. I'd highly suggest that you partake as you will meet wonderful people. I attended with zero plans and ended up having the most amazing week of fun. Also, the staff are some of the most friendly people. They are happy to start a conversation, help you with your questions, and if you get to know them well enough, they might even come party! I cannot say enough good things about my stay here. The only potential downside is that the facilities aren't amazing. Everything works fine and I didn't experience any problems, bet the rooms and community bathroom could be upgraded.
If your goal is to make new friends and have an adventure, this is the place for you.

Loved it here! super nice and welcoming people - hosts and guests, this hostel seems to attract great people! Rooms were great, beds comfortable and beautiful location. BUT its not safe at night there, my taxi driver called me "crazy" for staying in this district while traveling solo as a woman BUT the hostel itself is super safe with a 24/7 security man at the door and the fact you can only really get into the hostel part with your room card.
