I was so pleased with my stay here! Everyone was so friendly and patient with our limited french, and we didn't have any trouble the entire stay. The room was clean and the beds were absolutely wonderful, especially for the price! I would definitely stay here again, and I have already recommended Ethic Etapes to a number of my friends.

A nice hostel to take a rest after a long day trip in Paris. Friendly staff, big and clean room and closed to metro. A very good deal for Paris.

It would be better if there are power sockets in the room so that I can recharge my electronic devices.

Staff assistance was excellent especially as I do not speak any language other then English. Very patient and helpful. My only criticism was that the shower needed a good clean around the tiles, a lot of mould on the lower wall. Apart from that aspect all was very clean, and I enjoyed my stay.

The TV didn't work, neither the expensive WiFi, and it looks like it's always like that. The receotionist didn't give any solution to the problem.

Although not central, hostel is an easy walk to metro. Hostel is nice and clean, breakfast is pretty good. TV was not working, but they are working on that, according to the notices. Surrounding area is quite nice.

Why? After reading the previous comments about this hostel I was expecting very bad conditions but hopefully me and my friends had a wonderful time there! The staff was very helpfull, the breakfast was also nice and the location is at 5-10min walking from Gallieni/Porte de Bagnolet metro Station. The room and toilets were very tidy! I recomend this hostel for people that come by bus to Paris (which stops at Gallieni metro Station)!

Breakfast was poor (though similar to Parisian norm). Strictly 1 bowl of cereal with milk (cornflakes only), 1 croissant, 1 small white roll with butter & Nutella or jam, 1 "jus d'orange" (which I think was a sugared juice imitation) and 1 small coffee (impossible to add milk to without it overflowing the cup) and 1 low fat fruit flavour set yoghurt. Starts at 07:00 (07:30 on weekends), not good if you need to be in Central Paris for 08:30. If you can't eat some of the items, tough.

While the location wasn't really close to the city center, it was only about a block away from the Metro stop. It ended up being absolutely great! We had free gated parking, breakfast in the morning, and a friendly staff.

The building was well kept, as were the rooms! Internet was pricey, but that's to be expected! All linens were provided :)

The rooms stunk to old socks. The breakfast was poor. There was not much of choices, like cheese and eggs, and meat. We felt save at the hotel since they lock the gate at night.
