"Opened in 2013 and extremely convenient for getting to the airport, this hostel near Gare du Nord has Wi‑Fi, clean showers, a 7 EUR breakfast and a bar with live music that makes it fun and social; it’s popular with backpacker tours. The beds are basic with thin mattresses, but there are privacy curtains and lockers under each bunk—note that interior courtyard rooms can get loud from the downstairs bar, so try to get a room facing the street." - Matthew Kepnes
