Aloha Hostel Reviews

The staff are friendly but the building is very difficult to find. We were kicked out of our room at 11am by the cleaners and locked out until mid afternoon. Was not happy here and wouldn’t recommend it.

It was the worst place I have ever attempted to stay at - I say 'attempted' because I could not even bring myself to stay there for one night! It was dirty, you have to put a deposit down for a room key and sheets - which is not clear in any information. I booked a girls dorm and got a room with 5 boys in it! The bathrooms were shared by the floor. The staff were rude and lazy - when I was checking in a waited for 5 minutes before the guy at the desk even acknowledged my presence. HORRIBLE!

Only stayed one night but would probably return if visiting Paris again. Showers were small or at least the one I used. All and all a good night's sleep though.

I think that you need the lockers too.

Some rooms at the 3rd floor are just TOO noisy. It is a nightmare. The ventilation system reminds you a plane, during all night, and the people having a shower (bathroom behind the bedroom) makes such noise when water goes through the pipes that something should be done to solve the problem. Last thing was the lack of hot water in the shower. Terrible for me...

This hostel allows school groups to stay and doesn't mind if they run up and down the corridors screaming and banging on doors until 3am, if you complain they do nothing. They also allowed some drunk homeless guy to stay who made ALOT of guests uncomfortable. The fleece blankets on the beds are not changed between guests, mine was dirty. The hostel is very noisy when trying to sleep, from the gap along the bottom of the door noise and light come in from the hallway. The night staff don't care.

Unfortunatelly in our room was very bad smell and the showers were dirty

Of 3 hostels I stayed in Paris, this was my least favorite. The rooms/bathrooms are clean and nice, but the whole vibe of the place is just weird: not very communal or friendly. No lockers, and no room access in the middle of the day. Also the only hostel where I had to lay down a deposit for sheets, breakfast was a bit early, and they refused to accept 5euro cent coins as part of payment. Worst aspect is location: it is not near any of the big sights and neighborhood around is pretty dull.

It was definitely a nice place to go, although not catering to most people like many other hostels do.

Old building, not very clean, but good position and kind staff.

I liked it, the only problem was that there were no lockers on the rooms so you felt kind of unsafe but that thing aside it was pretty good

Breakfast is great and rich enough for the whole morning, President butter, jam cereal bread, coconut cereals, milk tea or coffe !

I felt really uncomfortable without lockers for my luggage in the room.

It's a good place but the breakfast is very early, because the concept of the hostel it's for a younger people and for this reason the breakfast should be later. It's necessary have more information about parties in Paris as well.

Keep up the good Work. I have reffered my friends to book in Aloha only.

This hostel shouldn´t even be in business - the staff has no care for customers and definitely not worth the 32 euros a night. I would never recommend it to a friend. I´ve stayed at cheaper hostels that were much better quality and way better service. You´re better off staying at a cheap hotel.

too noisy and poor electricity facilities

Nice place, clean, atmosphere is great. I think that a price of 30 euro is too much for hostel. But everything else is wonderful

Upon calling the hostel, the girl was very rude.., which so am I, but she had that crappy condescending attitude. Based on her accent, she was probably American and from Cali. Under the dirty, hairy blanket I found on my bed, was a gift...A RAZOR BLADE WITH A WHITE RESIDUE ON IT...no lie. Had a good laugh bout that one. The best part of the stay there, though, was talking with Santiago, the South American employee. Great guy.

My stay was AWFUL!! We got put into a 10 person room with 5 other roommates even though we reserved a 6 person room and there was NO HEAT! We had a hotel ready to book the next morning if they gave us our money back for the following 2 nights we were supposed to be there. They didnt refund us and the next two night there was a little heat. We still had to sleep with 5 layers of clothes on. The bathrooms weren't very clean either. They did have free breakfast and it was easy to walk to attrations
