St. Christophers Paris

So the last leg of our trip, we stayed at St. Christopher's Inn. For a decent size hostel, it wasn't the greatest. I sort of pulled a group poll and the overall consensus was that this place was horrible.
First some pros about the place: It looked very nice on the inside. There was at least a bar in the hostel with some deals for their residence. They provide breakfast and even put on the Football game for us. The room space in was actually pretty decent and it worked. This hostel had more space than the previous two hostels that we stayed in but as stated early it was not the best.


With those few pros comes some major cons about St. Christopher's. To speak first is about their staff. To put it mildly they were not the brightest people in the world. They spoke english which was a good thing but I still enjoyed having the chance to test my knowledge and understand of the french language. The fact that they seemed to have the brain power of small nut didn't help at all though. When ordering things, they try to do it the old fashion way by remembering it in their head, but on many occasions this was the wrong thing to do. Despite the feelings of some of my friends on this trip, I like a nice well-done steak. I desire no blood in my steak at all. Well when I received this steak after order it, the waitress said it was well-done, but I can assure you that it was not. My steak was cooked to the same extent in which Mike's steak was cooked, medium-rare just about, with a lot more rare. And trying to get a drink from them takes about long time to receive especially after ordering it.

Then there comes the wifi situation within the hostel. It was probably better to walk down the street to the nearest cafe and use their wifi before you could ever get a decent connection at the hostel. It seems as if they were using more of hotspot deal but that's never a good thing. On top of that the shower situation was ridiculous. To use the shower, you would have to press in this button that I swear only stayed on for about 10-15 secs, if that. This made for a very annoying time while trying to take a shower. Its like every time you check you have to make sure you press the button to keep the water going so don't think about trying to take a quick shower ever. Now to the extent at which I know my group disliked this hostel can be discussed for quite along time but hey we did have some good times there.
The  picture from above was from the night we had this arab guy walking buy trying to sell flowers. That was his way of trying to make a living. I bought one for Sarah O'Donnell just because of his pitch. It was amazing and just about the funniest thing I've experienced in awhile. We joked with him for a minute and of course had to listen to his pitch again. He told us that he makes his living buy selling those flowers. I forget where he came from but it was still such a great time meeting this guy. To be truthful I think his english was better than his french. Voila!
