They were unable to amend a booking following a simple mistake. They also did not want to communicate directly. I would of appreciated some consideration. The service from Expedia was excellent. It was just an unfortunate situation that could have been resolved easily if compassion was shown by the business.

Good stopover
A great place for a stopover. My only issue was the window had been left wide open so the room was freezing.

You get what you pay for. It was cheap for central location so we could overlook that the room was small, could have been cleaner and that Friday night music meant no sleep. Right by Gard Du Nord so great for getting about and we liked the bar.

Very handy location across the road from Gare du Nord. Staff were mostly friendly and helpful. Cleanliness was very good for a backpackers. I booked a private room and decided to stay an extra night - and the price suddenly went up! An electric jug in the private rooms would be a bonus and save the pyjama clad trek down to the common area to have a morning cuppa.

Thank you for your feedback, Sherryl! We have intentionally removed the kettles due to the new sanitary measure but we are always happy to provide with one on request! So sorry for the PJ trek! Thank you for choosing St Christopher's and we hope to get the privilege to host you again!

Best Staff Ever!
My stay was fantastic! The reception staff were so kind, especially Liam! I came back at 3am crying because I lost my phone and he helped me get in contact with my family, extend my checkout, and even checked up on me at breakfast the next day! I could not imagine better service and I will definitely be back!

Alright
"Budget Hotel" is a euphemism- St Christopher's is a mega-hostel, which is fine if that's what you knowingly booked but it's not what we expected. Check-in took awhile as there were several guests waiting in line. Our room was as expected according to the photos and had some convenient details such as extra plugs and usb charging ports. The bathroom was literally the size of an airplane bathroom or a cruise ship bathroom. The hallway to get to our private room had that distinct bathroom sewer smell which I've grown to associate with European hostels. The included breakfast was well stocked with expanded variety compared to most other hostels I've been in. Price was, I think, pricy for a hostel experience, though.

Nice for the budget but earplugs needed.
This hotel has a bar/nightclub and is on a busy corner in Paris central. If that is not your thing and you look to hofels as a place to rest in quiet, this spot is not for you. Was it cheap? Yes. Was it clean? Yes. Was the front desk courteous? Yes. They even give your earplugs at check-in. Would I stay here again? Maybe.

love Paris in the summer but not at St Christopher
Party bar Belushi’s downstairs was so noisy that we could hear the noise upstairs in our rooms late into the night. We stayed in single rooms with ensuite bathroom where everything was so small, you barely had enough space to walk between the wall and the bed. It was so hot in July 2019 that the small electric fan provided little comfort.

Great place. Friendly and helpful staff.
Was a little concerned about this being a backpacker hotel however, this is a great place. Clean, friendly and well equipt. Even during the recent hot weather, staff were falling over themselves to get everyone fans to try and keep cool. We had private bathrooms overlooking the atrium/bar so noise was an issue as the music went on until 3am. Hey do provide earplugs however, as I have difficulty getting these to stay in my ear, they weren't much use. I would suggest that the hotel does make it clear that on some evenings there will be loud music until very late at night/early morning. That said, it was a Saturday night so maybe we should've expected something like this. All of this aside, this is a great place to stay and visit Paris. One tiny criticism would be that although we both had private bathrooms, only one of us had soap and shampoo provided. Not a major issue, just a comment.

Location only.
Pretty average but passable whenever the price is good. The breakfast is decent for an included breakfast — otherwise I wouldn’t pay for it. The main attraction is the excellent location near the Est and Nord train stations.

Great budget hotel in great location
We were concerned on arrival to be in a backpackers hostel but we needn’t have been. Our ensuite private room was spotless and had all the basics we needed for a two night stay. Location perfect- close to Gare du Nord and it’s metro so easy arrival on Eurostar and easy to get around Paris. Some noise from disco in bar at night but no worse than traffic noise would have been and certainly nothing to disturb sleep.

I stayed there with my BFF for 2nights.At first we thought it is shared bathroom,however,to our surprise, the bathroom is in our room.Even the room is small,but it is convenient and complete.Very nice and comfy bed.The hotel is attached to bar,even we did not join the party,but we still can enjoy from our room which I found out it is quite cool.The hotel give free breakfast and provide lounge for guest to hang around.Only 5mins walking from Gard Du Nord, make it easy to use train to go anywhere.There is a lots of halal restaurant around there,make it easy for Muslim like us.The carrefour also just a few mins walking from the hotel.The staff was completely amazing.I will give more compliments to Eliane since she is the one who assisted me on the places to visit and the transports to get there.Overall we were totally happy on the services provided by the hotel.

This is a convenient, no frills location to lay your head down for a night or two. Very conveniently located near Gare du Nord train station--easy to get around the city or get a RER-B train ride to the airport for less than 11 euro. Like I said, really no frills but it was clean and had 24/7 front desk service for checking in late--which we did--and the staff spoke perfect English and were incredibly helpful. One word of warning for light sleepers--this is basically a hostel/backpacker setup. As such, there is a big backpacker bar/club basically attached to the hostel/hotel and our private room had a window that looked out over it. We could hear the music and party commotion pretty clearly from our room with the window open. Now, I am not a light sleeper and was tired enough after traveling that it was not an issue--the hotel also provides earplugs so they themselves are already aware--but wanted to make mention of this fact since sleep is very important when traveling. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and would highly recommend to others who are looking for the basics to be covered--this place does it well with a kind a courteous staff. Convenient, clean, courteous staff for a cheap price--pretty good deal.

Servicable but loud
This is a hostel, not a hotel, so the rooms are quite tiny- which is totally fine for the price. The shower is equally small, so watch your elbows. I accidentally hit the temperature switch while washing my hair and got a little burnt. Could have been worse though. What they don't tell you is that there is a sports bar on the first floor with nightly live music, so expect some noise. The higher floors don't hear it as much, so that's a benefit of being upstairs. We had a rash of loud screaming Italian preteens on our floor but one word to front desk and it stopped cold. Truly top notch security, have to badge in through many doors and elevator, plus security personnel at the entrance. Decent breakfast which is free depending on room price and how you book.

Hotel has no AC and windows with no ventilation. They need Louvered windows that let air in yet still keep room secure or window units. I spent most of the night getting up and letting air into the room so we didn't die in our sleep. Very unsafe situation when temps are in 90s
