Well-heated room, which was great as it was freezing in Paris. Only complaint we have is the noise level during weekends at night. We could hear people next door partying until at least 3am and then sick noises. Lovely. Otherwise, We came back here 3 times already, so it's been fine overall. The bakery next door is fab as well!

The rooms are very small, or there are too many beds in. No boards! Bad toilet and shower in avery room, that's very convenient. The pillowslips! That means bare blankets, that's insanitary. Better you use your own sleeping bag. Free w-lan in the foyer and for those, who haven't an own laptop, are three computers there. There are also three in the cellar, but they aren't connected all the time. Very good breakfast.

This hostel looks good, but it is lacking in basics topics. It has kitchen but miss utensils. I was in a room for six people and It had a bathroom but the shower did not have much water (the water becomes cold also sometimes). Also something that I think is too bad for the room is the missing of lockers. The staff didn't mistreated me but they also didn't look the friendliest people. It is clean, has free computers with internet and the lock out from 11 am to 16 pm it is sucks.

This hostel has very good location, 1 block from a metro station and walking distance to Sacre-Coeur and Moulin Rouge, as well as the nearest bars and pubs. The free breakfast is really really good. The staff was very unhelpful and didn't seem to care you were actually paying them for staying there.. Also, the cleaning staff stole 500U$D from me and the kitchen is for 2 people, beds are not bad but not good. I would recommend it but be careful and don't expect much from staff...

I really liked it, I just think the hostel could provide me a knife when I needed. I asked the receptionist if I could borrow a knife because there wasn't any in the kitchen and he didn't care at all, he could easily get one from the kitchen and ask my name to make sure I would return it.

I had a very enjoyable stay! The breakfast was the best of any hostel I'd ever stayed at, and the location was beautiful. Maybe not the closets to the major museums, but the walk wasn't far, and it was pleasant.

It's a nice building and the breakfast is great-. The kitchen is tiny! And there isn't much of community atmosphere or gathering room. it's not a good hostel if you're a solo traveler as it's not the best place to meet people.

Lockers would be a great addition to the facility. Even if only for small valuables.

The hostal was well located next to the subway station and a few minutes walking to the Basilique du Sacre Couer. But the rooms and the bathrooms are too small. How there is no locker, you need to left your suitcases in the common area. The breakfast is very nice. The cost-benefit for a hostal in Paris is ok.

Generally was ok.But I think it would be a good improvement if they clean better the rooms, there is a lot of hair in the room.And the staff was kind, not always but almost the whole time.Breakfast was nice.And I met really nice people in the hostal. The kitchen was always clean.The hostal is cozy and I liked that.But I really think the boss should yell A LOT LESS to the staff. It was STRESSFULL when he suddenly started to scream!!That really bothered me.I've worked in a hotel so I know about it

The hostel is in a beautiful location in Montmartre with typical Paris-type buildings and tree-lined streets.The hostel is very clean as if you were in a hotel. We originally booked a 6-bed dorm, but we were upgraded to a private room when we arrived. The breakfast is very delicious, and you get a croissant, a mini baguette, orange juice, coffee, milk, cereal. The only impovement I could see is to have better staff, as the day guy was very rude and unwelcoming while the night guy was better.

I think that the time I spend in the hostel was really good. The only suggestion is that they should have more power plugs in the bedrooms :-)

I have stayed a room for four people. The room was too small to four people and bathroom, as well. Location was quite ok. But the stuff of hostel espeacially who in reception were totally rude.

Nothing special and a bit dirty, but what can you expect in Paris? Breakfast was ok, but bread was old. Beds are horrible and they expect you to sleep under a dirty sheet...ask the staff for some clean blankets!!! Location is very good, near the Sacre Cour.

Ok hostel for Paris. You get what u pay for in Paris. Breakfast and the breakfast area are really nice. Rooms are super small. And there is no Internet in the rooms. Ok hostel tho. Great for back packers who want to see the city.

There is virtually no common area so if you are a solo traveler do not expect to meet people here. Cleanliness of the rooms is good but the bed sheets are disgusting, when I arrived my sheets were completely covered in hairs and stuff, I checked all the beds and they were all just as bad (and I've stayed in a lot of hostels) I've been to some very grimmy places but at least their sheets were clean, here it's the opposite, the rooms are clean but sheets are filthy.
