The Bar/Lounge at St Christopher's Inn Paris - Canal

"Rooms sleep six to eight and are pleasant enough in a functional, cabin-like way, and there’s a great bar, inexpensive restaurant, café, book exchange, internet access and dozens of activities on offer"

"The hostel really comes into its own in its bar Belushi's, where the usual backpack brigade are joined by Parisians bent on taking advantage of the canalside setting, satellite sports, lunchtime brasserie and some of the cheapest drinks in the capital"

"The hostel includes a British-style bar, club, onsite launderette, and Internet cafe"

"Other perks include canalside cafe, bar, bike rental and organised day trips"
