Paris: Hostels |FREE Guide

During my Erasmus exchange period in Lille (for those who do not know, Erasmus is the European university exchange program), I had the opportunity to visit Paris many times, because it was close and as it is a city that I deeply love and that ravishes my heart every time.

Of course, at that time I did not have a particularly large budget, and, let's say that, Paris is not exactly a low-cost destination. However, I looked for the best solutions to be able to fully enjoy this wonderful city without having to spend a fortune.

The most surprising thing is, that I ended up having extraordinary experiences that I would not have had otherwise.
Here I have created a list of all the coolest free or low-cost activities I did in Paris, the hotel I stayed at, and the places I ate.

Perfect Paris if you are broke 

Here you will find all the hotels/hostels/homestays that I've stayed at around the world. My recommendations are honest, so I only listed those that I really liked and would stay at again.
You can find them for each country in an alphabetical order to make searching easier for you and recommendations are everything from low-budget to 5 star hotels.
As I'm always travelling, I will keep adding new places to this list.

Please note:
Creating these guides takes up quite some time so if you like one of my recommended accommodations, it would really help me if you'd book through my link as I'll receive a small commission. The price will stay the same for you, it only helps me to be able to provide more free content in the future. So it's a win-win for both of us and I'd be be very grateful for your support!🙂

My Hotel/Hostel Recommendations Around the World

Finding a place to stay in Paris might seem daunting! However, through this list I hope to help alleviate the stress. The hotel options are categorized by neighborhoods to help optimize your tourism itinerary. 

✨ As a self proclaimed Parisienne, I have curated this list with spots that family and friends have recommended to me over the years throughout their many stays in Paris.

🇫🇷 Paris is divided into 20 different districts or arrondissements as the French call it! Each neighborhood has its own charm.  If you want to be in the center of tourism, I recommend staying the the center of Paris.  If you are looking for something in a young and hip neighborhood, then I have options for you too!

🎯 P.S. This is a living guide that I will continue to update over the course of the next few months! So stay tuned! 🤗✨
