The location is pretty far from most attractions in Paris and the staff were not very knowledgeable about finding things or doing things in Paris. We were in a two bed room and the window was broken so the noise from the street was at times loud.

The staff was nice. The security was great. Had to get buzzed in after 9pm. The bathrooms were interesting. Couldn't take a shower without weting the entire bathroom. The neigborhood was in a questionable place. Had to pay for wifi that didnt work half the time. I wouldnt stay there again.

Everything fine except the bed (not so ergonomic, but neither so bad) and the lack of fans in the bathroom

While the room was cheap, and actually far larger than I would have expected, the overall atmosphere of the hostel was a bit depressing. It was quite large, and there was no common area that I was aware of, meaning it wasn\'t the friendliest place (not to imply that the staff, etc. were rude in any way they weren\'t.) The combination of this, and the location (barely within Paris, in a borderline sketchy residential area) made me dread going back in the evenings.

The directions to the hostel were a little confusing. We weren't sure if you meant bus or metro line from the Beauvais airport bus stop in Paris, and the actual metro stop is pretty far and hard to find when you first get off the bus here.

Good hotel for a cheap price. Clean and secure inside. The downside is it is in a neighborhood that isn't nice at all. After ten pm the gates to the hotel are locked and you have to be buzzed in. I can't say the neighborhood was dangerous but to be safe you may want to return to this hotel before dark.

Its an ok place - for the money.. Not special or creative - but clean and warm. I just didn´t like that the checkout is at 10 am - and the checkin at 3 pm. Far too early!!! And there is no free wifi - not cool!

I was a really nice quite place 20 minutes from the city center (arch de triump). The metro was 3 minutes from the hotel and it was a 20 minute 2 euro metro ride into the city.

The location of the hostel is really good. I also like their facilities like free breakfast and free parking. The price is very fair. The only thing I didn't like were the bathrooms because they weren't clean enough.

Reception was very helpful: they provided us with informative maps of Paris and even let us book-in earlier than planned (which was a relief after just arriving with a night bus). A very efficient and comfortable stay for it's price range - even the included breakfast was quite decent. The area was a bit dark to walk back to in the evening, but in a group it was manageable.

I spent a weekend here and found the place satisfactory. Not too expensive; located quite close to Porte de Montrueil metro stop so all of Paris is easily accessible which is all I needed.

The atmosphere is very good when you approach the hostel, even if it\'s located in a neighborood not to good where to walk in the night when you return in your bedroom: the building is nice and the hall is quite good looking. Then one of the girl at the reception was quite indifferent to us when we arrived and during the other days when we asked some questions: to be honest, the other staff members helped us a little bit more and smiling. The room is very bad, the shower draining is on the floor.

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.
