Insider Tip

Le Village Montmartre by Hiphophostels

This smaller hostel is part of the Hiphophostels chain, which means that you're getting a reliable and top notch set of quality standards all set in a charming and historic building. As mentioned earlier, the location can't be beat. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are historic but modern and comfortable, and the list of amenities is long. The common areas are nice (and there's a kitchen, too). And it's also close to public transportation. You really can't go wrong here if you're looking for a good base to explore Paris!

The Facilities

Dorms

Dorms come in a few different sizes and options. An all-female dorm is available. Some 4-bed rooms and a 12-bed room are offered, all with 2-level bunk beds. The larger room is cheaper, but you will obviously sacrifice some privacy. Fortunately, all of the dorm rooms have ensuite bathrooms, too.

Rooms are equipped with lockers which are large enough for some personal belongings such as a laptop, but not large enough for an entire backpack or suitcase. Linens are included and are changed regularly.

The rooms have a lot of natural light and plenty of space. Some of the rooms open up onto a patio, too. The staff works hard to keep everything clean!

Private Rooms

Private rooms at The Village Hostel are quite nice. They are well lit and have the right mix of historical charm and modern conveniences that you need while in Paris. Ensuite bathrooms are provided, as is other furniture in the room. Some of the rooms also have great views! This is a great option if you're looking for the privacy of a hotel room.

It's also possible to book a dorm room with bunk beds as a private room if you have a small group.

Bathrooms

Clean and modern bathrooms is what you'll find here! Even though the building is historic, the bathrooms are not. Hair dryers are available in some rooms, and can be rented in others. Towels can be rented for the dorms, too (they are included with private rooms). Overall, you won't be disappointed.

Common Areas

The common space at The Village Montmartre is comfortable and relaxing. When other guests are around, the main common area is a nice spot to hang out. Some guitars are provided which add to the atmosphere. A variety of tables are set up for those that want to chat, have a snack, eat breakfast, or do some work.

The Location

Montmartre

The historic and delightful Montmartre neighborhood is full of shops, restaurants, and residences all centered around the famous Sacre-Coeur cathedral on the north side of Paris. Wind your way around the old narrow streets, many of which are made of stairs, to find the next hidden gem. Don't forget your camera!

What's Nearby?

Located in the heart of Montmartre, this hostel is only one block from the southern end of the Sacre-Coeur Cathedral grounds. It's also one block north of a metro station and the main road. All of the surrounding blocks contain shops, restaurants, museums, bars, and more. You can literally explore the neighborhood from the doorstep.

A market is located just across the street so that you can stock up on food if you like, too.

Nearby Transportation

The Anvers Metro station is only 1 block away. This station is on Line 2 and can take you east-west to some of the other Parisian neighborhoods, or you can change lines to get anywhere quickly.

Both of these other stations have lines which can take you into the city center without changing trains.
