Popcorn Hostel has 49 beds across 12 shared dorm rooms (types from 9-bed down to 2-bed), about 400 m — a 5-minute walk from Gara de Nord. School and youth groups get dorms occupied only by students and their responsible adults, with zero mixing with unrelated guests.

How many beds can a group use?

Total capacity is 49 beds in 12 physical dorms, in six room types (all mixed-gender, orthopedic mattresses, A/C, individual lockers):

Room type Inventory
9-bed dorm 1 room · up to 9 students + leaders in the same reserved room
6-bed dorm (balcony) 2 rooms · 6 beds each
4-bed dorm 2 rooms · 4 beds each
4-bed dorm with balcony 2 rooms · 4 beds each
3-bed dorm 2 rooms (one with balcony)
2-bed dorm 3 rooms · closest to private when the group books every bed
Total 49 beds · 12 rooms

For school groups we allocate rooms so students and teachers never share a dorm with unaffiliated travellers — including 2-bed dorms when the group books every bed.

No mixing with strangers

  • Guests under 16 are accepted only when the whole dorm is occupied by the children and the responsible adults travelling with them.
  • Organized school or youth groups need prior group confirmation (rooms, headcount, price).
  • Children are never placed in dorms with unrelated guests.

Privacy & safety in group dorms

  • In dorms used by children or school groups, staff do not enter unannounced.
  • Access happens only in force majeure or a real emergency — or, for necessary checks, after notice and in the presence of a teacher or responsible adult.
  • Online check-in from 14:00, personal access code 24/7; quiet hours 22:00–09:00.

Teacher benefit

For groups of more than 15 children, up to two teachers or accompanying adults may stay free (subject to room layout and availability). Group discounts may apply — details on WhatsApp before confirmation.
