The Basics: Hostel des 2 Empereurs email this page

Open since 1948, the Hostel des 2 Empereurs (also known as the Centre International BVJ Paris-Louvre) knows what it's about—cheap, no-frills accommodations located right in the heart of Paris. If you need a simple, central home base for sightseeing, this is a great choice.

The 2 Empereurs is big—it counts over 210 beds in mostly dormitories, though some doubles are available. All rooms are very basic and come with only a sink in addition to the beds. Bathrooms are all shared.

Some common facilities are available, including a free luggage room. To store your valuables in a locker, though, you'll have to pay an extra €2. The Hostel des 2 Empereurs also offers vending machines and phone booths.

Breakfast is included in the bed rate and Wi-Fi is offered in the lobby for a fee.

Note that the Hostel des 2 Empereurs is a youth hostel, and only offers accommodation to those between the ages of 18 and 35.
