hi there!
we%26#39;ll be going to paris in july, and we%26#39;re deciding between the two hostels mentioned. basically, i%26#39;d like to know how far away the hostels are from parisian attractions such as the louvre museum, champs de elysee and such, and how much it will cost to get to the attractions by metro/bus from the hostel. thanks lots!

Both of these hostels are within Paris, so the cost of travel to the center of the city would be the same.
Both are a métro trip away from most tourist attractions.
The Caulaincourt Square Hostel is located in a lovely residential area of Montmartre, within walking distance to Sacre Coeur, but still peacefully residential, safe and much more of what you would think that Paris should look like than the Cité des Sciences location. We like the restaurant next door to the Caulaincourt Square Hostel, and there is a nice bakery there too. Because we live on a boat and move about Paris from time to time in our home, we also spend time at La Villette near the Cité des Sciences, and while this area of the 19th is safer than it was a few years ago, I still think that the Caulaincourt address is better and that you would be happier there.

Get the Caulaincourt one.

thanks for your replies.. is the cites des sciences in an unsafe district? or are there other reasons why you guys think caulaincourt square is better?

No, no - Cité des Sciences is a great area to explore, but being in the north-east corner of Paris, there would be many modern buildings and it would look like the suburbs of any other modern big city.
Square Caulaincourt is just so pretty,the area is so nice and %26quot;real%26quot; Parisian. The north side of Montmartre is very pleasant, great ambiance.
