Some hostels just have dormitories, for women only and mixed, although most have a few private rooms even with en suite facilities, although normally, as you would expect, the majority of accommodation comes with shared bathrooms, yet are ideal for people who do not have much money to spend on a hotel.
Hostels in Paris usually also come with kitchen facilities and open areas such as a lounge for relaxation, so depending upon your choice of hostel you do not have to think about the cost of eating out, but due to these points they also have a convivial, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which can also be a great option for groups.
You will find that some hostels in Paris even have entertainment available and others are eco-friendly or even have terraces for great views over the city, all at low affordable prices, plus many are in great locations for sightseeing or getting transport, like close to the Gare du Nord train station for instance.
Other points to think about, which most hostels in Paris now have, are personal secure lockers for your valuables, rather than just safes at reception, along with facilities for keeping in touch with those back home, such as WiFi or even computers that you can utilise if travelling light.
Also some hostels do offer breakfast as an added bonus, much like a B&B or budget hotel, with some even having a 24 hour front desk and reception service complete with multilingual staff to help with bookings and travel information or organising transportation.
