    I lived on the 4th floor, there is no bathroom. So I had to go 2 floors down every time. But it’s fine. Also the hostel does not provide you with towels, so you have your own or pay extra for rental.

    I liked the staff, all the receptionists are really polite. Also, the clean bedsheets and rooms in general.

    N/A

    Only stayed for less than 24 hours so I wasn't able to try the breakfast. The staffs were nice and accommodating, I don't know how to speak french but the staff speaks english so it was nice. However, location wise, if you're traveling with lots of luggages, be prepare to walk a bit. (note that the footpath are cobblestones) so it might be little hard to drag the luggages. Another downside was the lack of elevator too. Overall, it was manageable. Bathroom is okay. Staff helped me carry my luggages on the way to my room.

    The downside was the black mold on the ceiling in the shower, which definitely needs attention.

    The staff was really friendly, the luggage storage was secure, and the room was spacious. The location was in a safe neighborhood, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and clubs nearby—perfect for young people looking to explore the nightlife. Plus, they had affordable coffee and soft drinks in the lobby.

    That there was only 1 double socket in the room for 4 beds. It did also get noisy at night so unless you sleep easily then you could be disturbed by the bar opposite. There is a small kitchen downstairs with a big fridge and a microwave but no other cooking facilities, which was a shame. That said there is plenty of places to eat in the area, street food and restaurants at reasonable prices. The crepes are gorgeous and cheap imo.

    It was clean and cleaned daily. The rooms were big with lockers inside, you just need to bring a padlock. It's in a great location with lots of places to eat and bars. Has a great vibe about it. There is a supermarket right next door, which I used for my breakfast of warm croissants and pastries. The staff were lovely and helpful. I wanted a run locally and a lady told me about Les Jardins which were nearby. Beautiful too, so well worth a visit. There are also a few metro stations nearby too, do getting about was easy enough. I would definstely stay here again.

    The lockers inside the room are extremely noisy, old and not clean. There is no light for each bunkbed which makes difficult to arrive late in the room and not turning in the main light in respect for others. Also there is no plugs near the beds to charge the phones. The cleaning is very bad, we stayed for 3 nights with people coming in and out and nobody cleaned the toilet in respect for the next guest. I asked two Times to someone clean the toilet and change a soaked towel on the floor that was smelly, and nobody did.

    Staff were friendly. There is living room where you can play and interact with other guests and it is is very cozy. We stayed in a mixed shared room for 6 people and the room is quite spacious, descent bunk beds. Hostel also offers drinks for good money. Location is superb, surrounded by coffee shops and restaurants, walking distance to pantheon and metro.

    Kitchen (microwave/sink/fridge) was not that clean but it's part of hostel life I guess. Same goes with the shower, even if it was cleaned everyday it gets dirty quite fast because of how small it was and the fact that people go in with their outdoor shoes. Also people in my room (mostly Europeans) were not super respectful (turning on the light super early/super late and also talking until 1 or 2 am). Towels are an extra service that you need to pay for

    The staff was super nice and helpful ! The location is really great and the room was cleaned everyday which was a plus!

    While there is nothing they can really do about this, there was a lot of street noise and partying into the night which occasionally made sleep challenging.

    Great location.

    No hooks on the walls in the bedrooms to hang jacket or wet towel. Missing 1 chair or shelf or something to place any small belonging on, only had the floor to use, while there was a good amount of wall space.

    Excellent location. Windows and walking space in 4 bed rooms was good.

    Artsy and happening location in Paris; beds and baths lack comfort

    • Bed in 4-Bed Female Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Suggestive: Several problems if addressed will make the place a very attractive stay 1. Beds super creaky, couldn't sit without waking everyone up, 2. bathrooms are common for all genders. They being quite small and less in number, its a bit awkward, 3. the bathroom area has no door! there is a wide exposed opening to the main corridor. Though toilets and baths have doors, its uncomfortable to use the sink/come out of the toilet while people are passing outside openly looking at you, 4. toilet floor had muddy prints but was never cleaned for a whole day, 5. baths had a fixed shower with no temperature control! Either scalding or cold water viciously attacking you at a fixed angle, 6. not enough hooks in the baths to keep stuff, 7. I am a bit doubtful about blankets without covers, are they ever washed? 8. locker in the room was small and you need your own locks, 9. beds and lockers are all metallic, made lot of clanky sound, 9. pubs just outside can keep you up very late, 10. No hooks, no shelves, no cloth hangars in the room, no bedside shelf to put small stuff, 11. only few plug points in the far wall and beside the door, none close to beds. There was an incident - a specially-abled lady was staying in my room. She was hearing impaired and hence was making loud sounds whenever she moved around-using the room sink early morning, banging the chairs and tables, slamming doors. She wouldn't allow anyone but herself to use the only 2 chairs in the room, and if I tried to request she made loud sounds, rudely gestured me to shut up and sleep, and once almost pushed me out of the room and shut the door loudly behind me (all of this at 11 pm when others were sleeping). I understand she was not of sound mind, but hostel authorities should make special arrangements for them, such as get them a separate room. No one could sleep because of her loud acts. I complained about this to one staff member, he said he will talk to her but didn't seem bothered at all.

    The room was clean and big enough, windows were big with proper double curtains. Sheets were washed and clean. The staff who checked me in was very nice and helpful. Common area is good for relaxing/working. Luggage can be stored free for extra time. Its a pub lane - lots of them just across the road, right in front and in the area. Very busy circle nearby, with great restaurants, book shops, gift shops and clothes/jewellery outlets- also awesome boulangeries. There are several roadside crepe stands to try out. Its an artsy, cultural and happening area. Very close to the Pantheon, 20 mins walk to the Notre Dame, 7 mins walk to the nearest metro station. Front desk has water and a paid coffee machine, Kitchen is there but no breakfast facilities.

    No sockets by the bed, but there are sockets in the room. No toilet or shower on my floor, stairs are spiral and very narrow to walk down at night with no light I could find initially. But I discovered a switch and turned it on after a few dark journeys up and down the stairs. Showers did not have adequate places to put clean clothes/dirty clothes/toiletries. My key card quit working several times necessitating a walk down three flights of stairs and back up to have it reset. A little loud at night with being on a very active street.

    Great Wi-Fi and location. Bed was firm and comfortable. Kitchen. Windows create a nice breeze in September. Staff were nice. I felt safe and secure as a solo female traveler walking and running through the area. Lots of restaurants on the block.

    Be careful not to forget about the "tourist task" when you arrive there. The stairs are very very narrow - bear this in mind if you have bags. The windows are not very safe.

    I don’t have breakfast. But I did check in in the morning when I was literally slowly understanding everything but receptionist was real nice and help me to make coffee and also help me to check address where came my uber driver. 1 things what sometimes happens it is I don’t have working showers on my floor. But I would like to say everything was clean. It is so important and bed was really comfortable. I really like we have opportunity to wash our hands in room because I wearing contacts I should have opportunity do that at room. I really would recommend that hostel in future. And price and location amazing. I can walking everywhere by myself.
