Im staying in a hostel for about a week in Paris. Im trying to reserve a room for me and two friends. Most of the hostels dont have dorm rooms like they do in other parts of the world, so I figured a triple room would be fine. Most are lsited close to 100 euros. Is this cost per person or for the whole room? Im pretty sur eits for the entire room. I just want to be sure so we dont get jipped

Do yourself a favor and look at websites like www.hostels.com and www.hostelz.com and read lots of reviews. I've read lots of scary stuff about some of the Paris hostels. They seem to be pretty disgusting in general and I think you pay per person. Not sure though.

It would be fine staying in Hostel in Europe, been travelling around Europe and staying in Paris for 6mths..It's fun and most importantly budget!!Well..I think 100 Euro is for a room, even room are pretty expensive..You can try going to http://www.hostelworld.com/ and check, they provide rating, reviews, maps, and much more information on the webby..I been using this website to get my hostel when I'm travelling around Europe..How it works, is depending on whether are you willing to share the room with others whom you don't know or you prefer a private room of yourselves..It would cost more if u wanna get a private room but safer..Well, I used to stay in hostel room with some others people whom I don't know too..It depends on your luck too, on your room mates, so far, people I met are fun and happening people..Oh yeah,so hostel has Pub, it would be free for guests to enter and have a drink..Oh..About bathroom too..If you prefer to have a bathroom in your room, it would cost more expensive too..But if the bathroom is round the corner and shared among the whole level, your rental would be pretty budget..There is not problem sharing bathroom,as it would be seperated by gender..As for the shared room, you can choose between Only Male, Only Female or Mixed..Which ever you feel comfortable with.. In order not to get cheated check the prices with other hostel and compare with hotel, because at times, hotel might have discount prices..

It's for the room. But do check different internet services, sometimes the same hotel has different prices depending from where you do the reservation... Alternatively, for cheaper places, try to find "auberge de jeunesse" (youth hostel), but be careful: in this later case, the price is usually by person and you might have to share the room with strangers... Check here, they have beds for around 20euro/person. http://www.fuaj.org/fra/information/ibn.php

Comparied to other hostels in Europe, hostels in Paris are not all that great. I would suggest a 2 star hotel. There are lots of them, and you can find them in better areas than most of the hostels in Paris. We stayed at Hotel Montebello near the Metro stop Duroc and it turned out to be 45 Euro a night (for 2 people), which was about equal to hostel prices---plus we got our own room and own bathroom and better location.
