Compared to other places in town though it's in a "quiet" area. Not that there aren't any bars around but that you won't find hoards of Green supports walking past your hostel door all day.
This doesn't matter though because in Paris your hotel/hostel is almost always no where neer you do your drinking and dancing. 90% of the 2-star hotles for example are in areas that you wouldn't spend the evening in; if the area had a load of cool, funky bars and great places to eat well you hotel/hostel wouldn't be only costing you €20 or €40 but more like €120 or €160.
Within a few minutes you have the metro line 8 which takes you direct to Opera district, Republique and Bastille. Better IMHO to get a cheap hotel on a good metro line as you have done rather than pay over-the-top money for a crap hotel smack-bang in the center of town. The €100 you save on your bed for the night is easily made up in the 30 minutes you'll spend in the metro.
Right by the Rue Mouffetard. Lots of cheap places to drink and especially a lot of cheap places to eat (€17 for 3-courses + wine is common).Quote:

2 of us in Hostel Vintage. 500m from Gare du Nord apparently
Paris35 is a handy site to use to search for cheap accommodation.
There is a good group of six or seven of us lads staying in "Auberge internationale des jeunes paris". It's dirt cheap at 14 euro a night so I know thje place will be a bit 'kippy', but we jus need a place to go for a few blinks and thats it. Don't plan on spending much time there obviously. Does anyone know what it's like? I have looked on google maps and the area looks O.K.
google the name of the hotel and tripadvisorQuote:

1 star - the lift was tiny.

Americans eh?
I'm going for a bit of comfort this time around.
Four of us booked into Hotel Le Regent Montmartre for the Wednesday night: http://www.leregent.com/
One of our crew gets over on the Tuesday night and will be spending that night in Le Montclair Monmartre hostel but will meet up with us early the next morning: http://www.montclair-hostel.com
Anyone else in either?
Same flight as us. :)Quote:

Yeah, it's the same for rooms. They think they're all "small". :DQuote:

For anyone interested, a friend of mine is selling a double room in the Ashling Hotel beside Heuston Station for the Saturday night of the France home leg for €50, he prepaid €80 but can't make it now so is trying to sell for this price. PM for more info, cheers.
This is the place to be lads......right next to the Gare du Nord
