Ouch. You’re Poor. We get it. That usually sucks, except when it comes to Parisian hostels. The true epitome of ballin’ on a budget, but with these Parisian hostels you won’t have to sacrifice comfort and style for price. Whether you’re traveling with a group of your besties or rolling solo, they have room options to accommodate all your needs, including on-site entertainment (hello rooftop bar at the Generator!). 

While you’re at it, poor-ing that is, check out our list of free museums and cheap but chic restos.

Generator

Walk into con­tem­po­rary cool with this hos­tel where they offer a ground floor café and can­teen, an under­ground club for easy after-hours par­ty­ing, and a rooftop bar boast­ing views of the Sacré Coeur. There’s a lit­tle bit of every­thing here, but don’t be lazy. Head out­side into Canal St. Mar­tin neigh­bor­hood to get your full fix of Paris with hip gal­leries, hip bou­tiques, hip cafés, and of course, hip peo­ple. Eas­i­ly choose between pri­vate accom­mo­da­tions or shared spaces to fit your bud­get because the more you save here, the more you have to spend on cock­tails on the ter­race of Chez Prune.

Les Piaules Belleville

As a hos­tel and bar in the some­what grit­ty-yet-cool Paris East, Les Piaules Belleville has easy access to nightlife (aka no 30 minute walk to pub­lic trans­porta­tion in heels, thank you) and is in an inter­est­ing loca­tion for day time adven­tures, espe­cial­ly if you like street art as Belleville is Paris’ open-air street art gallery. With cus­tom designed “bunk beds,” this hos­tel has rev­o­lu­tion­ized shared sleep­ing spaces to feel more com­fort­able and pri­vate, and if you’re the extro­vert of the group, the com­mon spaces are great to grab a pint, meet new friends, and have a mid-after­noon moment before you head out again.

At the Gare Du Nord loca­tion, enjoy their buzzing bar for a burg­er or a round of beer pong. Stay at the Paris Canal loca­tion and enjoy immac­u­late and cov­et­ed views of the Canal Saint Mar­tin from their bar while eat­ing break­fast or down­ing evening cock­tails with your, uh, new room­mates.

Jo & Joe Paris

Giv­ing you street art vibes from the moment you enter, Jo & Joe Paris Gen­til­ly is a relaxed space where the bud­get-con­scious cool kids decide to hang. Locat­ed just out­side the city, you can choose between sleep­ing in a 12 per­son dor­mi­to­ry, a pri­vate room, or their atyp­i­cal accom­mo­da­tion (think: mini, per­son­al indoor cab­in) and enjoy their court­yard gar­den for home­made meals and cock­tails. At the Paris Nation loca­tion in the 20th arrondisse­ment, enjoy the same accom­mo­da­tion choic­es but throw in a lit­tle bit of spice with a new­ly ren­o­vat­ed rooftop lounge with a large, wind­ing seat­ing arrange­ment and cock­tail shack.
