HOW TO GET TO GENERATOR PARIS

Besides great prices, an uplifting vibe and comfortable facilities, another reason why we highly recommend this hostel is due to its location. Generator Paris is centrally located, and the biggest advantage of staying here is that it is a few minutes away from one of the few big terminus stations in Paris, Gare Du Nord. So all it takes is a single RER train ride from the airport, and you are here at the hostel without having to change trains, which helps you save time and the cost of changing multiple trains.

From Gare Du Nord to the hostel, it is about a 15-minute walk and an average of 15 minutes metro ride to all the iconic spots in Paris like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, Place De La Concord and many more. The Louis Blanc and the Colonel Fabien metro stations are within walking distance and help with connectivity to all parts of the city.

RESTAURANTS/BARS & OTHER HOSTEL SERVICES

The hostel also offers a wide selection and high quality when it comes to food and drinks. We recommend you try out their wholesome and delicious a la carte breakfast at Café Fabien. Besides, they also host one of the best rooftop bars in the city called Khayma. Even those who do not stay at the hostel, especially come out to this bar to enjoy some drinks in this breezy space with 360-degree panoramic views of the city and the sight of Sacre Coeur in the distance. 

Please note that since it is so popular, there is a huge queue, so if you wish to go up to the bar, make sure to line up early on. Staying here makes this task a bit easier. 

If you instead wish to party and dance the night away with some buzzing music, then head to the hostel’s in-house Underground Club for a happening night. 

Besides these, the hostel also offers free walking tours of the city, which you can check with the front desk upon check-in for timings and availability. 

All these reasons are why we highly recommend hostel Generator Paris. Staying here truly made it so convenient to explore the city. Easy accessibility to metro stations and world-famous points of interest, direct connectivity to the airport, gorgeous views of the city, and a classy vibrant vibe. Unlike other hostels, staying here felt premium and fancy despite opting for shared dorms. This hostel will save your cost in all regards and provide you with a hotel room experience at the price of a dorm.
