Really good location, the area is really nice and there many small shops and cafes to explore,and it is also only about a 5 min. walk from a metro station. This hostel offers a good breakfast to start your day. The staff were alright,they weren't super cheerful, but they did their job. Wifi was limited in the rooms, but they have computers you can use in the lobby. Overall I would recommend this hostel, and I would definitely stay in it again.

A problem with the keycards meant basically anyone could walk in and out of the hostel which wasnt ideal security wise but it was only temporary. Otherwise the hostel was well placed down the street from the metro and the famous Moulin Rouge which is great. It was also pretty reasonable value considering its Paris, sure the rooms were pretty small but thats just how it is. As others have said the bathroom is also small but nothing we found unbearable. Not the best for meeting other people thoug

Nice hostel for its price. Very good location Cons: Rooms are very dark, in our room there were no lock on the door to the bathroom. It was a mixed dorm, so it wasn't very comfortable to take a shower or smth else.

the hostel is very well localized. But the badrooms are small, as well the bathdroms. In the kitchen you almost don't have dishes. You don't have lockers in the rooms. The internet is good. You have computer for the clients. The people of the hostel is nice. The breakfast is ok. I will be back there..for few days.

A little small, but space management in that small area is awesome! Clean rooms, great bathrooms, helpful staff, good breakfast, free wifi, free internet desk, located in one of the most artsy areas of Paris. Frankly, we got more than what we had hoped for.

Very nice place located in the heart of Montmartre, just few blocks away from 2 subway stations. Includes great breakfast and free wifi. Nice rooms and brand new facilities. Great heating too. The only bad thing was maybe the rooms are too small and not enough lightening. A very cute and nice hostel, fully recommended.

We were 3 people in the Plug-Inn Hostel for 4 days. Private room. Very, very small rooms, but very clean, the staff is very polite and helpful. The rooms are cleaned every day and towels replaced in the bathroom. There is internet in the rooms. Something must be done with shower-water overflowing on the floor and tried to enter the room. Great breakfast.

I lost the address after I reached the metro, but the shops around helped me reached easily to the hostel. I met up interesting people and a friendly staff, which made my stay very comfortable with small yet decent lift and facilities. Only issue I have is if someone is traveling during winters like me, the blankets provided by hostel are not enough to keep you warm. So carry extra since heater in my room wasnt much help.

This is a good hostel well situated in the Montmartre district of Paris. Pleasant staff, decent rooms and a very good breakfast. While there is a security box located beside the receptionist, it would be better if individual rooms had lockers to store your valuables. Overall, I would happily recommend this place.

It was just okay. Nothing super great, from my experience it wasn't very social but it's safe and clean and I didn't have any problems.

Great location in a trendy area in Paris. The whole hostel is tiny, smallest elevator I have ever seen! But there was no problems and the reception is 24hours so you can come and go as you please.

Quite a good hostel overall. Convenient distance (a couple of train stops) from most of the prominent draw cards of Paris and the rooms were also pretty reasonable (good showers and internet access).

It was really an OK average hostel. The location is great right by a metro and lots of cute restaurants and bars. The rooms and bathrooms are tiny, but I think that is normal for Paris. The staff was nice but didn't seem to know much about the surrounding area. No lockers in the bedroom but there is wifi and computers downstairs. I think what really makes or breaks a hostel is the people you meet though and we didn't become really close with anyone here, as we have in the last few hostels.

The hostel had no secured baggage storage.. you can only leave it at the cafe (opened area) after you've checked out. They can keep your valuables in the safe at front desk with staff but its also shared by many (still kind of risky to me). Tiniest elevator ever, I'd say about 2.5 ft by 5 ft? Toilet and shower in room were also very compact. Bed was comfy but quite squeaky. Kitchen was clean and well-equipped. Location is the best and very friendly staff! I'd stay here again.

We had a lovely 4-night-stay in Paris, thanks to Plug-inn hostel! It actually felt more like a hotel because of the room cleaning service, free linen and towels and free breakfast (although it was the same croissants and cereals every day; alternatives would've been welcome). We missed soap in our private bathroom, but otherwise this was the best hostel so far that we've been to!

6-person dorm smelled horrible, but I was moved to a 4-person room since there was a free bed. Staff (reception) guy was really helpful in trying to get me an alternative bed.

This hostel was fine and the staff are lovely. There isn't much atmosphere though, it would be good if they organised some activities. The breakfast was good but the rooms were quite small!
