This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I was really impressed! It's a great location, in my opinion, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating! I would definitely stay here again!

Good location...wish I was a bit closer to city center. Booked a 6 bed dorm style but there was only 5 of us...both nights we had a new single overnighter...one thing I didn't like was they didn't change the steets for the new person. Also the towels smell ok when they are clean, but when they get wet it smells like left over Chinese food that has been sitting in the fridge all night...yuck! Other than that it's a good place...

We can guarantee you that we do change the bed sheets everytime that someone new is coming (fortunately!). :) We are also very surprise about the smell you're talking about, we are not a chinese restaurant... We hope that you liked your stay @ Oops anyway! Oops Staff

Sheets were a little sketch, possibly bring your own. Breakfast consists of 2 croissants and juice/coffee.

You're right next to a metro, you're not super close to the city so you can relax, and you are going to be taken care of in every way by the staff. Wonderful hostel, will definitely stay here again.

Really good hostel with cute rooms and all very clean. The breakfast was also good. The only problem was that there was no locker on the rooms, although I didn't have any problem with my luggage while leaving it on the room.. anyway, you can leave more valuable stuff in a locker at the reception for free. The staff was realy attentive and nice. I would stay there again if I came back to Paris.

I thought Oops! was a really great place to stay and a good value for the price, considering how expensive hostels are in Paris. Breakfast was a nice start to the day and my bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was clean as well though it would be nice if they supplied hand soap. The English-speaking staff were fairly friendly and helpful, particularly when I needed to extend my stay an extra night. I would definitely stay at Oops! again!

Breakfast was great. The hostel is really clean and looks really cool. Lock out from 11am to 4pm can be annoying though and there isn't really cooking facilities (except a microwave).

Everything was great except the fact that the first night our power went out and ONLY our floor was our and when we asked if they had flashlights they said "no" and didn't help or anything. but other than that it was a great stay!

We are very sorry about this inconvenience. While you were staying, a girl accidentally plugged her computer that used a different voltage and it burned the fusible. We fixed the problem the day after as this happened late at night and we weren't able to fix it before the morning. We hope that you enjoyed your stay anyway! :) Oops Staff

Was a great location just a few steps away from the underground station, Very friendly staff and clean rooms. Felt very safe there as well. about 4 of the 6 computers were working at the time though so it was hard to get a spot on them but the wifi worked great.

Great location in Montmartre, the only major downside is the wifi doesn't seem to work 100% of the time.

I've been to this hostel before and it was ok. The security was never good 'cause there are no lockers on the rooms. But the main problem this time was the internet. The wi-fi connection was ALWAYS out and the internet on hostel's computers was VERY slow. Also the navigator was too old making it impossible to use some sites. Beyond that, the staff this time was not very friendly/helpful and there was a group of 20 teenagers (14-15 y.o) making a mess at the hostel. There should be an age limit.

Lovely girls on the desk. Joanna was very helpful with directions etc. The hostel needs a bigger common area! There are not enough seats to sit for breakfast. €2 fee + €2 deposit for towel is ridiculus. Lockout 11-4 annoying. Good clean modern ensuite bathrooms. Wifi worked most of the time. Great location, very close to metro.

quite a nice hostel, as good as you will find in Paris from our experiences there. The breakfast was good, the rooms are clean and not too cramped and the staff were friendly and helpful when we had questions. A few dislikes, the common area is not big enough as the hostel sleeps heaps of people and the kitchen is hardly a kitchen, there are no cooking facilities, just a fridge and a microwave.

Pros: - far enough out that it was quiet at night, yet right on the metro so it was close to downtown - loved the colour scheme - overall very clean Cons: - lock-out is actually a lock-out - nowhere to lock luggage - breakfast is too small, and kitchen is not self catering. Mixed: - Staff speak three languages each, but need to finish their cig before helping you - There's wifi, but it's slow

Security is lame. There are no lockers in the rooms. Nothing in the way of fun going on here either. But the cleanliness is excellent, an ensuite in the 4 person dorm is great. The location is excellent, near a metro stop. The staff need probing to get info, but once they start, they are hard to stop. A perfectly good place to stay.
