Dreaming of sun-drenched days, incredible live music, and making new mates from all over the world? You’re in the right…
The full picture
Two bases, one city, and a few things worth knowing before you arriveSolo in Paris is not what people expect
For solo travellers in Paris, the city itself does a lot of the work. A café table, a Metro card and an arrondissement you have not been to yet is a full afternoon. Both properties have Belushi’s bars on-site, open until 5am on Friday and Saturday nights, which fits how Paris actually operates after dark. An evening that starts at the bar regularly continues into the city. Paris runs late, and that suits the solo traveller particularly well.
The right accommodation for you
The question of where to base yourself in Paris is a genuine one, and the answer depends on how you want to arrive and what you want to wake up to. St Christopher’s Inn Paris – Gare du Nord offers immediate connection to the whole city from the moment you step off the Eurostar, with Metro lines 4 and 5 running from the door. St Christopher’s Inn Paris – Canal sits alongside Canal Saint-Martin in the 19th arrondissement, with a terrace on the water and four Metro stations within a five-minute walk. Both are two Metro stops apart.
Opposite Gare du Nord, or on the canal?
Both Paris hostels are genuinely well-located, but in different ways. St Christopher’s Inn Paris – Gare du Nord is two minutes from the Eurostar terminal and connected to every corner of the city by Metro lines 4 and 5. St Christopher’s Inn Paris – Canal sits alongside Canal Saint-Martin in the 19th arrondissement, with a terrace on the water and four Metro stations nearby. Choose based on how you want your Paris mornings to feel.
