Good location only if you have to take a train in Gare de Lyon early in the morning. Internet is so expensive and you have to pay bedclothes in addition. Mattres is realy bad.

Not a very nice place at all. The only good thing is it’s right next to the Gare de Lyon station. Very poor facilities, no kitchen, no lockers. I did not feel safe in my room, I had to sleep with my bags on my bed. Someone came into my room and told me to change rooms at 1:30AM. It’s relatively cheap and if you need a place in a pinch it will do, but I would not recommend staying here for more than one night.

This hostel is a great location being right next to Gare De Lyon, but overall I rated it poor due to lack of cleanliness and facilities. You have to pay for clean sheets, and it is unknown if the sheets that are on the bed are in fact clean? Same goes with the comforter... a little questionable if you ask me.

Nothing impressive here except it's decent location. The look of the showers made me not want to step in them, and I've showered in some pretty funky places before. No lock-boxes in the room, to which I found my roommate going through my bag when I walked back into the room. Never trust a guy with a german accent that tells you he's american. It's sad that people like that make good people have to keep their guard up.

This has been the worst hostel I have ever been to. It looked like the sheets have never been washed. I was in a 3 bed dorm and the other person in there brought in like 4 of his friends to hang out while there are no lockers in there so i wouldn't even leave my bags in there. Overall bad experience, but Paris was nice.

This hostel has a great price, average facilities, and is really centrally located. Erything like grocery stores, restaurants, bars, pharmacies, etc. are in the neighborhood. I had a pleasant 2 night stay there and no problems. I would definitely go there again in order to explore Paris.

Very little pillow. Shower? Be ready for difficulties... It`s more looked like a Hotel 1 star than Hostel. But the staff was nice, I tried to help with everything.

There was no free wifi in the hostel. They have arranged a cafe to use the internet but the speed is slow that it's equivalent of having no internet connection. Breakfast was very poor comparison to other hostels. Location was very good.

I only stayed here one night but it was pretty boring and about what you'd expect for 18€ a night. Breakfast was out of a vending machine but there was a sink in the room. It was fine for one night but any longer wouldn't have been enjoyable.

No lockers in the rooms. No sinks at the toilets. Only one key available for a shared room --> had to get up at 04 to let in the party animals in the other beds. One staff member was nice, the other not. Only one electricity outlet in the room, just under the roof --> very non userfriendly. The most positive thing is the location and the fact that I did not catch any bedbugs.

DO NOT STAY HERE. They used the five star hotel across the street for their pictures and ammenaties, and they are not friendly at all. And honestly that location is not taht great.
