I thought the beds and room itself was awesome. The little curtain in the bed is a game changer in a hostel you definitely don't feel nearly as exposed in a room full of random people, especially as a solo female traveler. I felt really safe and my bed was comfy and the bathrooms and showers were clean. The staff was helpful and the lockers to store stuff were definitely helpful so I didn't have to lug my stuff around the city before I could check in. I did also forget to bring my room key down though and the receptionist didn't care, which was super nice because otherwise it would have been a whole journey to go and get it and go back to reception and check out.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Good location close to Père Lachaise cemetery. Easy to reach by subway. The neighborhood looks a bit gloomy by night in the middle of the winter but the room and its facilities are great. The staff is very friendly and the breafast is wonderful. The place feels like a vintage youth hostel and is totlly unlike many contemporary hostel run to maximize profit. It was just perfect for a one night stay when you travel alone for work and on a tight budget. It's also great for families and even dog friendly.

    The hostel is a fantastic budget option for Paris. While nothing is cheap or in the city the hostel is a more affordable option. I stayed in the female dorm which was clean at most times, but more importantly quiet and private. The dorms are very clean and built to have privacy and safety. One of my best hostel experiences while travelling not as a backpacker but as part of a city trip.
