The hostel was basic and did get annoying being kicked out at 11am and not allowed to return until 4pm, but you are in Paris and you do not even notice this restriction. I would stay again as everything is central to this location including the metro

This hostel was fantastic! I've stayed at a lot of hostels, and it's hard to really tell from the pictures if it's a nice hostel or not but it practically felt that like a full-blown hotel.

pros: great location, friendly staff, cons: have to pay in cash, no lockers in rooms Overall, the pros highly outweigh the cons... and the breakfast is great also!

The hostel is very cosy, and the staff very nice, close to the metro station but the rooms are very small even if very clean. A negative thing could be the cleaning staff come every day from 11am to 4pm and nobody must be in the room during this time. The breakfast is minimal but you can eat a very good french croissant

Hello, We are sorry that you couldn't use the "kitchen" but the few things we have are only for the breakfast. We always remind you to read carefully the hostel description before to book anything. All the best, Oops Staff

awesome place, really cool looking. good location, staff were a little unhelpful at times (the girls i dealt with anyway) and it was actually really inconvenient how they kicked you out from 11am till 4pm - sometimes you just want a sleepin or to be able to get ready slowly!! great value for money though.

Oops was interesting.... A bit hit and miss the daytime staff were rude and did not help out if they could avoid it! The Wifi drops out constantly! It's a pretty big trek to see te sites, so pack some walking shoes... Overall I probably wouldnt go back there!

I stayed in a 21 mixed dorm. Staff was very nice, 3 bed bunks are actually ok, rooms are big. The hostel is lovely, really great enviroment Kitchen lock out from 9 to 10.30, showers lock out from 19 to 20. Once the showers gets hot water, there is no way to cold it down, i burned all my skin trying to take a shower!!! Its a 45 mins trip by bus to get to the city, really far away from London

Hello, Thank you for your comment but I think you mixed up a bit your stay in Paris with the one in London. :) We only have 4 or 6 Bed Mixed Dorms here, and no kitchen or shower lock out. We hope that you liked your stay in our hostel anyway! :) Oops Staff

Brilliant hostel, excellent location for buses and lots of restaurants, area felt safe but would have been nice to have small lockers in room to keep valuables. Staff were generally lovely but had one extremely rude member of staff. Handicapped access was good but there were no hand rails or seat in the shower which made my life quite difficult and would be great if they could be added! (they are essential for most wheelchair users.) Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

delicious breakfast and a great location in amongst a host of different restuarants and bars, and with a delightful pedestrianised area not too far away containing all sorts of takeaway joints bars and food stalls . An authentic french sunday market livened up my last day, where I could have purchased a plethora of different souvenirs such as antiques, posters, leather jackets or jewellery.

Great character for this hostel. It had one of the best breakfasts I have had at a hostel. It was clean and had a pretty good location. I didn't like that the rooms didn't have lockers, but the ensuite bathroom was awesome!

The hostel itself is really nicely made in a modern style. It is not far away from a metro station, which is also good. However in total, it is not really centrically located. The garbage can in the bathroom was always full and was not emptied. Instead of a nicely warm blanket to sleep, they had a bed sheet and a kind of woolen, old, smelly blanket. It did not really match the modern interior. Breakfast was ok.

Wish there were some security lockers in the rooms, would have been nice to keep things in there without worrying about the safety. Because we didn't know our roommates, sometimes we carried all the important things with us. The breakfast was good, staff was overall really helpful and I really enjoyed that the rooms were actually cleaned everyday.

The staff were always so helpful and the room was a very clean, pretty, ensuite dorm. There was 24 hour access to computers with wifi in the lobby (though the wifi was a little temperamental) and lots of maps and brochures of what to do around Paris. There were two metro stops nearby, both less than 5 minutes walk from the hostel. I would come back here again!!

This hostel didn't have lockers in the rooms for luggage which is ideal, but the room was clean and the free breakfast was very tasty.

The hostel was in a good location and good price. The rooms were clean and had it´s own restroom which was cleaned everyday. The breakfast was good and the wi-fi and internet were very easy to use. No major complaints. Would definitely recommend it.
