Hostels in Paris – to stay, or not to stay?

Do you have a small budget and want to visit Paris without breaking the bank? Staying in a hostel is certainly the most economic solution when travelling alone. If you bring a group of friends, I advise you to opt instead for an apartment in Paris, so you can take advantage of cheaper rates, and sleep in a much more peaceful and comfortable environment.
Hostels however are a great solution for young people wishing to spend a weekend in Paris.

The advantages of choosing the hostel:

· young and festive environment

· the breakfast is often included in the price

· Hostels often organize parties or events

· practice foreign languages

· easier to build relationships and friendships when you share the same room

The disadvantages of choosing a hostel:

· sometimes noisy, it all depends on with whom you share the room

· less comfort than an apartment of hotel

· sharing a room with other people can sometimes be embarrassing

In Paris, there is a large selection of hostels that you can find on websites such as http://www.parisinfo.com/hotels-paris/pour-les-jeunes/. These rooms are usually 3-15 beds, but some also offer double rooms at higher rates, but still cheaper than a hotel. Most of these hostels include bed linen and breakfast in the price, and have a common kitchen to cook a meal in the evening after a day of sightseeing.

This shows the Louvre Museum in Paris. This again is located along the river and is one of the most historic museums in the world.

In an international atmosphere, young and friendly with high security, staying in a hostel will certainly leave you full of memories to share when you return from your vacation.
