In general it was regular. Negative points: The bunk beds are very old and it\'s moving and noicy all the time. The blue Blanket it was not clean in my case and smelled to used. Positive: good breakfast and security is good and service too. bathroon it is clean but very small and consider that this hostel close at 2a.m. comparing with other hostels it is Regular.

The location was great, super close to several great cafes and a metro stop that took us directly into the city centre. The walk from the hostel to the main attractions, though a bit of a distance, was lovely and a great way to spend the day. However one thing needing improvement was the cleanliness of the hostel, our private room had mold on the wallpaper and the private shower room was in need of some serious bleach action. You should also note that there is only one WC per floor.

I enjoyed the breakfast! It was delicious! i wish I could eat that breakfast every single day! The staff was nice, one guy couldn't talk English..so he explained all of the directions in French. I could understand him because I have been taking French for a few years, but I felt bad later when I saw a guy who couldn't understand what he was saying struggling. The rooms were small, but nice and comfortable and I appreciated having a bathroom in the same room! Overall, good but spendy!

ensuite bathrooms are small and filthy...or maybe it\'s just the guests.

This was the noisiest hostel I have ever stayed in. The doors were slamming all night since the electronic locks would not let you close them softly. The elevator is also loud and is running to 2am. Not a great night sleep in the 3 days I stayed there. Decent location but not \"great\"

The breakfast included was really good, it was a great neighborhood and was close to the metro. The staff was not rude, but they were not friendly either. I felt kind of intimidated to ask them for help. The sheets on the beds were always cleaned, but the bathrooms could get rather dirty before they were cleaned

The breakfast was good and the people staying there fairly nice but the staff not so much. Rooms are clean enough but the beds were terribly rackety. Doors creek way too much and didn't get good sleep while staying here. Bathrooms were also not good at all. I met some nice people here which was the best part, but considering the location and overall clealiness, I don't think I would stay here again.

Very small rooms. Basically, the rooms are like hotel rooms, meant for only 1 bed and a bathroom for 2. They instead stuffed 2 bunks and 1 bed in the room. There was not much room to put our backpacks or to move around. FREE breakfast was nice. I think that was the highlight of the stay. Close to metro and close to Sacred Heart and other cool cafes. Grocery near by. Expensive though.

The Bakery in front of the Hostel is amazing! The view from the room was quite nice, sunrises and sunsets. The hostel is quiet and my legs got stronger from the hike to the top floor. I'd stay here again.

It would be nice if there were lockers or similar in the rooms in order to leave your stuff.

This was a rather crowded hostel, but it was clean and they served a great breakfast. The staff weren't particularly helpful and the area is a bit sketch. It's a bit of a hike to the attractions, but is close to the train station. WATCH FOR THIEVES. My Iphone was stolen off my table in the restaurant next door to the hostel. They were little children, so don't trust them. Close to Sacre Coure.

I stayed for only one night. The only problem was getting there, the directions that are in the booking were really poor, and it can be very tricky to find. I was lucky because there were a couple of girls that when they see me with my backpack, they told me the way, because the street wasn't on my map and the directions are not enough. Besides these little problem, it was a really nice stay, nice breakfast and atmosphere, and the cleanliness was excellent.

Breakfast is fantastic and they give you free croissants all day. Wifi is just in the lounge and there's only one plug but people were really good about sharing. not far from the metro but you have to climb stairs but that's fairly normal for Paris. just a bit annoying. try the restaurant on the corner. so good. booked 2 people for a 6 person and was put in a 4 person. it was a nice and free upgrade. lockout isn't a big deal. a bit pricey but once again that's Paris. you could do a lot worse

There was a problem with the card machine when I went, which meant that I had to use a chunk of my small cash budget to pay for my stay. The staff were not the friendliest but neither were they rude. I think partly it was because my french is not good so I had to ask for them to speak in English - I'm sure that is frustrating! The security was fair, the rooms were key card entry, but nowhere secure for luggage. I think on leaving I saw a room for luggage however, which I wasn't aware of.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The location is great with the plus of a free continental breakfast and use of computers. The bathroom drainage does smell a bit but other than that I have no complaints.
