How cheap is Paris? In this video we'll be going over the prices of everything
0:04
From food, travel, accommodation, things to do and general lifestyle. Now we're going to be comparing three different accommodations
0:12
The best low budget accommodation, the best mid-range accommodation and the best high-end accommodation
0:19
Let's go. So we've done some research, we've looked around Paris and IAI and found the best budget hostel
0:29
is Saint Christopher's Inn. Why? Well, let's find out together. You can see some of the stuff they've
0:37
got going on here. Happy hour every day. Beer pong. I love a bit of beer pong. Let's head in and see
0:43
what else they've got going on. Some freebies for the guests. Don't mind if I do. And we'll walk
0:50
around and see what else they've got to offer. So it looks like downstairs are the lockers. Keep
0:56
your stuff in here for safekeeping and then go gallivanting around the city
1:00
All right so we are in a dining area which is also used as the breakfast
1:07
area. Nice big tables, wide space, loads of rooms and massive TVs everywhere. I'm
1:15
guessing this way they play the live sports inn. Looks pretty decent. Let's
1:20
keep exploring. Outside the city you can get a haircut for 14 euros. So the
1:26
The metro ticket is 190 for a train journey. For the whole day, it's £7.50
1:32
Now if you get one of these, you can pay 23 euros for the whole week
1:37
So we gonna go for the jump on the train and explore the city We found a vending machine with a possible freebie So we going to try and give it an extra nudge so it can drop
1:54
An honourable mention in the low-end range is Joe and Joe. Now this is a recommended hostel for youth travellers
2:00
A bed in this dorm cost me 27 euros. It seems like they have quite a few things going on
2:05
They've got welcome drinks. It says, are your guests staying at the hostel? come share a drink to meet the other guests at the welcome table special drinks on us happy days
2:14
every thursday free drinks game night tuesday they've got mojito monday they've got live concerts
2:20
they've got sunday brunch they've got loads of parties and events and like loads of fun things
2:24
happening they have some interesting paintings on the wall as well of some female parts i'm guessing
2:31
they're promoting body positivity and body freedom like what's the cheapest you can
2:36
She appears for more than 45 years. 45. These are the standard rooms
2:41
This is what the standard bed looks like. You get a pillow, you get sheets, and you get a duvet
2:47
Some hostels come already late. This one, unfortunately, you have to do the work yourself
2:52
It's a good size. Although it kind of feels like a coffin a little bit
2:57
If you're a bit claustrophobic, then hostels probably aren't the one for you
3:01
This is the communal shower slash bath. In the city, depending on the area, it ranges from about 15 euros upwards
3:09
So more or less the same. Now to dry clean a t-shirt would cost you about 5 euros 50
3:15
It costs about 2 euros to get the bus. Now a single ride on a bike will cost you 3 euros and for the whole day 5 euros
3:24
Now they got other options and subscriptions that you can find out about And for a mid accommodation menu bon dems this is a hotel in the northeast of paris costing 85 euros in pounds it equivalent
3:38
to 71 pounds it's a decent size room this almost reminds me of a uni dorm like a university dorm
3:47
it's even slightly smaller than that where you have like a self-contained box you have your bed
3:53
space you have your work desk and then you have your toilet and that's it you get a nice decent
4:00
size tv you get a lamp and you get a view of the street it's a decent size toilet it can just about
4:07
fit two people your hair dryer other than that you have coat hangers you have your safe and you
4:13
have extra duvet if you get cold at night so lower end we class from zero to 50 pound mid end we
4:21
class from 50 pounds to 100 pounds and high-end 100 pound upwards so now we're gonna have a look
4:27
at somewhere that fits the high-end budget but also doesn't break the bank an adult film will
4:33
cost you five euros and the sex toys in there well it's all dependent food on average will cost
4:40
you about nine euros depending on the area you're in to climb the ipod tower will cost you 17 euros
4:46
ten for the second floor and to sum it would be 26 euros 80. you can grab a
4:51
picture by the Eiffel Tower where you decide the price. Hi, we are all friends and we take pictures for tourists that look like old newspaper
5:01
If you're ever in Paris looking for a decent comfortable hotel for the price of around
5:06
124 euros we found one called Hotel Mirabe Eiffel Tower so this is somewhat close to the Eiffel Tower and they got it in the title So yes please let go check it out I slightly disappointed
5:22
For 124 euros, I'll be expecting something of a double room. This looks like a single room
5:30
with like a small bathroom and toilet space. It's slightly smaller than your standard hotel
5:39
which will cost about like 50, 60 pounds. This cost me 107 pounds
5:45
and it just shows you how ridiculously expensive hotels are in Paris
5:50
It's a decent sized bed. It's got a desk. It's got your tiny TV
5:55
It's got your little tea area, and your lamp and your telephone
5:59
It's got like the basics that every hotel room should have. It's just compressed into a smaller version
6:06
And I'm not too happy with it for the price. Let's talk about nightlife
6:11
Now, this isn't your usual club. This is an outdoor event slash festival that happens every once in a while
6:18
It costs us about 15 euros to get in and drinks range from 5 euros upwards
6:23
Oh, and don't forget the face paint. That costs us about 5 euros
6:36
So if you're ever in Paris, now you know how cheap it is, or expensive
