Probably everyone wants to visit Paris at least once in their life. Eat a fresh crispy croissant and enjoy the aroma of real perfume. Many simply do not have enough financial opportunities to realize their dream. Some tourists try to save on travel by hitchhiking or passing transport. However, most try to find inexpensive accommodation to spend the night in the city. It is very difficult to find a cheap hostel in the center of Paris on the day of arrival, so you should take care of it in advance.
Hostels
The city has a huge number of places to stay overnight, which differ in comfort, distance from the center and, accordingly, cost.
You should warn inexperienced tourists that cheap is not always far from the center. And Paris itself is such that not all attractions are located in the center. Those who are not in this city for the first time, certainly know what you can see in the city on the periphery.
Always reserve your overnight stay. Paris does not tolerate spontaneous guests. You can book a hostel in Paris online on the website or by contacting the administrator directly. Explain themselvesbest in English, not all staff understand and speak Russian.

Smart Place Gare du Nord by Hiphophostels
Address: 28 rue de Dunkerque, 10th arrondissement. According to the reviews of tourists, the hostel received a good rating - 8.1 points.

If desired, you can walk about 30 minutes to the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. There are many supermarkets and grocery stores nearby. Inexpensive cost relative to other holiday destinations.
Of the shortcomings, almost all tourists note very small rooms and uncomfortable "creaky" bunk beds. There are only 2 sockets in the room for four, so the phones have to be charged in turn. Very uncomfortable overhead light. It turns on for everyone, which brings discomfort to vacationers. It is better not to walk alone in this area at night, because there are a lot of "strange" personalities near the station.
Vintage Paris Gare du Nord by Hiphophostels
Address: 73 rue de Dunkerque, 9th arrondissement. This hostel has a guest rating of 8.2.

Guests are very pleased with breakfasts, after which you can take the remaining croissants with you. The rooms have air conditioning which is a big plus.
The big disadvantage is that the premises have not been renovated for a very long time. Everything is old and shabby. The beds are uncomfortable and very squeaky. There are no own shelves for things, so everything has to be left on the bed. The bed linen is quite old (2 sheets, pillowcase and blanket). Towel for a fee.

To the big disadvantages of this hostel, most guests attribute the fact that during the cold season there is very weak heating. Additional blankets or blankets are not provided. In the rooms, the beds are uncomfortable (they, by the way, are very squeaky). You may not be lucky with your neighbors. Most of the men sometimes find themselves in mixed rooms. The lack of an elevator and a modest breakfast also mar the rest somewhat. The hostel is quite noisy at night.
A big plus, many consider the proximity to the subway and friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and clean. You can use the kitchen and everything you need. Bath and toilet in the roomgreat advantage. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby, as well as a beautiful park.
