Paris Hostel Location

A Paris youth hostel so central you can't escape the good times.

Location in Paris

The former glory of this industrial suburb is still a massive feature of the local architecture. Our St Christopher’s Paris Hostel is actually a reconstruction of the 19th century warehouse - Magasins Généraux. The original burnt down in 1990 but with the help of renowned architect Chaix et Morel, we’re rebuilding the site with the original blue prints in mind. The interior however is a little different and we’re proud to offer the latest safety, security and hygiene standards, all contained within the classic and timeless style of our old school building. Just over the canal is our sister warehouse, which has also been regenerated and is now crammed with the brightest Student minds in the French capital.
