A very enjoyable stay at the hostel. Location was fabulous, with the Sacre-Couer up the road, and then the Moulin Rouge and the metro station (Blanche) just round the corner it was perfect for getting around Paris. Despite all the stairs to climb, or the unnerving 3 person lift to get in to the top floor, it was excellent for 6 students to stay in. No noise. Nice breakfast. And to our joy, we could see the Eiffel Tower from our top floor room, which made the climb worthwhile. Lovely.

The hostel was pretty nice and really close from Blance subway station! The rooms were small, but it´s ok if you´re just there to sleep and leave your stuff wahile you´re walking around the city.

Plug-inn hostel is located within a few minute walk from the famous Moulin Rouge. The hostel was clean, and our room (4 bed dorm w en suite) contained bunk beds, and a small desk and chair. It does not have in room lockers, but you can leave small valuables at the front desk. Breakfast consisted of a croissant, bun, and cereals. Barely any cutlery was available in the guest kitchen. It is a typical hostel, though very pricey for what you get. Elevator (fits 3) difficult to fit into with luggage.

Great location right between two metro stops. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. There is a functioning kitchen to use and lots of local grocery shops nearby. The hostel is really near some major tourist attractions and lots of nice shopsand cafes. The rooms were clean and towels are provided. Overall a very good experience

Nothing special about the hostel, but reasonably priced for Paris, clean and felt safe. Plus breakfast included.

The hostel is very nice + good value. The rooms are good, breakfast is great, everything is clean and it is in a nice neighbourhood with cafés and restaurants (around Abbesses and towards Blanche where you will find the Moulin Rouge). Moreover it is close to two different metro stations that allow you to get into town easily. Minor negativ point: small toilets in the rooms (there's a separate bathroom with shower which is okay sized) and no luggage storage (valuables can be left at reception).

Breakfast was good...quantity and freshness. Shower had great volume of hot water from the shower head but the cabinet itself is only suitable for small or medium sized people...the walls probably 50x50 cms. Room of our ensuite was small, but adequate and probably not atypical of central hostels in Paris. Great location in Montmartre and easy to get to from Charles de Gaulle Apt. Overall a really positive experience, although we both felt vulnerable if there was a fire. Inadequate escapes.

Excellent location right by a metro station in the heart of Montmartre. Friendly staff, clean room, delicious breakfast. Teeny elevator so you don't have to lug your pack/suitcase on the narrow circular staircase. Downsides: tiny room, no lockers, bunks a bit shaky, not much security for left luggage. Paris is expensive, so I think this is great for the money and would stay there again.

It´s great to have bathrooms in the room instead of sharing with everyone on the floor. Staff was extremely helpful - I saw one woman go to great lengths to help two girls plan out how they should get to their next destination. Linen was definitely fresh (unlike some hostels where you can't tell). Great location in Montmartre, which is a cool area (though touristy). I didn't wake up in time for the included breakfast so I appreciated that they left out extra rolls left over from breakfast.

A great location, if you wander a bit North you'll find a non-touristy area which was a nice find in the middle of Paris. Liked the 4 bed private as the bathroom was clean, but there weren't any lockers. Also no large common spaces so hanging out at the hostel was not as appealing as wandering around (which is totally fine in Paris)! We were told not to take the metro in the area at night- as long as you have someone else and you don't wander down by the Moulin Rouge it feels completely safe.

If you are looking for just a place to stay, in the heart of Montmartre, this would be the place! However it's not the best hostel to meet people. Location is great, the rooms are small but that's wasnt a problem for me. I had a room right beside the street so it was quite noisy, but as long as you have earplugs, you'll be fine!

The rooms were clean although quite small. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they included towels for their guests. Staff were friendly and receptive: they made sure my friend and I were in the same room, booked us a shuttle to the airport and sent us off with a croissant for breakfast (despite us leaving at 3:00 AM!). Would love to see more outlets in the rooms by the beds though.
