It was the worst I have stayed until now ( I was in Istambul, Budapest, Wien, Rome, Firenze, Padova, Milan, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels). The room is very small and poorly ventilated (I can't imagine this room on summer). The bathroom is very poorly cleaned, filled with mildew and smells of mold. In addition, you can listen all your neighbor room do and the street is very noisy.

Was really worried having read the reviews of the place but cleanliness is not as bad. Bathroom was pretty clean, though floor was a little grimy. BIGGEST problem is TINY rooms. Room also got super hot at night and mattresses got a depression in the middle after a while. PROS: - super-fast internet, good security, really good location Morning staff is the sweetest, guy at night is not helpful at all, sorry.

This Hotel was OK. It was very close to the Metro, so that was great. Everything else was good.

I really expected more from the hostel and there were a lot of things that really disappointed me, for example the quality of the bathroom cleaning, the cleaning of the room in general, and the conditions of the things in the room in general.

Great hostel. Really charming, clean, nice and helpful staff. I really recommend it. The location is not near touristic sites, but there's a subway line very close that takes you everywhere. I had 2 incidents: hot water stopped working for one day and the fire alarm went out without nothing happening, but these sittuations didn't ruin my stay, cause everything else was very fine.

Everything is great. The wirelless is free and works inside the room, what is really good.There is just one exception, the man that cleans the room and serves the breakfast.He is rude and impolite. I asked him if there's any bow to eat the breakfast, and he awnsered impantiently and in a very rude way , besides he didnt explained correctly what was going on .I saw him doing the same with others tourists.

the inside of the room looked really used...and there was no sheet for the blanket :( the personnel was very nice and the location / price was excellent. the roomates were not really the best ever...but I guess there is a risk to be taken when going to a youth hostel.

This is the dirtiest hostel I have ever been to, and I have been to something around 20 by now. I would never stay here again. Good internet though.

This hostel is quinte with a splash of modern, sporting the looking of a hotel. It is truly a place that makes your stay in paris all the more comfortable. The location is ideal for walking anywhere concerning nightlife, especially after the metro stops. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the breakfast is included. Truly a very nice hostel!!

They guy working at the reception during the night shift was kind of unhelpful. My bed and my friend's bed didn't have a blanket like the other two, and when we asked for one, he didn't really know what we were talking about. He told us to go upstairs and look inside a closet but there weren't any. We went back downstairs and he finally went to go find some. Otherwise, good hostel. Great breakfast.
