Thanks to trip I’d stay in Paris cheaply

#hostellife In Western Europe, Paris is undoubtedly the city with the most expensive accommodation—we are not talking about Switzerland here. Many hostels were already sketchy from the pictures, and they weren’t even cheap. So I had a real headache trying to land myself a decent but not overpriced hostel. Then I found this hostel at RM130/night. It was exclusive on trip Oct 2024. It looked very basic, and it indeed was. But complete with functionality: luggage storage stove, fridge, dining area, hairdryer etc, everything backpackers would usually need. And the location was pretty good. Despite not being exactly close to metro station (12min walk away), a bus station was right across the street. If you’re on Navigo weekly pass, bus/metro should not matter, whichever that reaches the destination earlier is great. But one thing to note of the place: it’s four or five storey high, and there’s no elevator. And the staircase was tight plus SPIRAL. Quite physically demanding or even dangerous if you have to carry a 20kg large suitcase up. You may ask reception for help if you’re a lady. It’s also one of the hostels closer to Montparnasse, which is famous for the city skyline viewing.
