Pros: Very good location, nice bathrooms (one for each room) and nice staff (for Paris' standard). Cons: No lockers, very stiff beds, not much space in the rooms for the luggage. I wouldn't stay there again.

Good, "warm" place (in all senses - the atmosphere and the rooms ;)) with excellent location and really value for money due to that. One moment - it's better to think about the bathroom, so that one could have a shower and not to make a flood.. There are too low ledges...=\

some of the staff was more helpful than others... as in one person we dealt with was useless and the other person the following day went above and beyond. It is right by a metro, easy to find and get aroud when u want to see the sights.

Lovely looking hostel, but one of those which spends all of its money on appearances and end up lacking integral facilities. My third last day they did open a kitchen, which is nice but in the next door shop front so a little awkward to get to. My biggest issues are security, no lockers in the room and the only valuables storage is the front desk, where the staff will casually pick up laptops and ask "Is this one your's?" Also, the fleece blankets are NOT washed between bookings and are hairy!!

I stayed here for 4 nights. Very clean and convinient location but can not check in until 16:00 and you have to leave the room before 11:00 for cleaning. Small common room so its not the best place to meet people however perfect location if you just need a place to sleep

Not a lot of camaraderie and/or friendliness in the meager common room. Breakfast is Okay, but not great. The staff is very accommodating, and the location is very convenient. There's a metro and good restaurants nearby.There's no lockers in the dorm rooms, even though they advertise it. If you have something very valuable, you can have it held at the front desk. The rooms are cleaned daily. The lockout sucks, but it is meagerly enforced. 4/5 rating, plus the name makes for a funny running joke.

Decent acommodations, and close to place d'italie. Staff made some confusion with our check in and we got back one day to find our room empty and our bags locked in the reception. Luckily everything was quickly sorted out. One complaint, however, that seems to be a trend with other hostels as well is the spotty or non existent wifi in the rooms.

Hated this Hostel, The staff were rude and unhelpful. We were locked out of the rooms between 11am and 4pm. There was blood on the shower curtain. They stole my towel that I paid a deposit on and then insisted that I pay the deposit again. But the worst thing was the girl behind the desk was too busy reading to notice someone walk in off the street and grab the luggage storage key off the counter and go take peoples things. Needless to say someone lost their things. luckily my things were locked

Some staff were a lot better and more helpful than others. Would have been more helpful if there were more kitchen facilities. Generally a hotel style hostel, an okay place to sleep if you have super packed schedule in Paris anyway.

The wifi not work inside rooms, we can just get wifi signal in the corridor or common rooms. So, we hope this problem can be fixed and make it convenient to other guests.

Cool hostel, breakfast included. Big bathroom, very clean. A bit cold during the winter nights, because you get only a sheet and a thin blanket.

Our room was really cute with a lovely slate tiled en suite shower room and comfortable bunk beds. Very clean and cleaned for us on a daily basis. It was everything we needed during our stay in Paris. Cool, unique decor too!

Goodish location, small hostel. I was expecting a bit more cozy environment though. Really helpful and positive staff. The beds could be better.

We were given one thin blanket that was not big enough for the bed with no one in it, with two people it was very inadequate! Not given another blanket when requested. Staff seemed willing to help but not very knowledgeable on the local area when asked questions about amenities, for example post office or laundromat.

I was really concerned about leaving my bags in the left luggage cupboard. They had no system of identifying whether the bags belonged to you. When I returned there was a different woman on reception I asked to pick up my bags, with out questioning me she gave me the key to the luggage room. I could have been anyone and it would have been easy for a guest or non guest to go through someones bags.

We are sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable to leave your belongings in our luggage room. It's true that we don't offer a locker system but the luggage room is closed 24/7 and we always control who's asking for the key to open it. And we remind you that you have a safety box that you can use 24/7 at the reception as well. We hope that you liked your stay anyway and that you enjoyed Paris! :) Oops Staff
