Paris started to be too much expensive for back papers !!! 25 Euros for a bed in dormitory... A cheap room without so much comfort. 4 beds in the room so 100 Euros per nite ! Good business for such person. Of course the hostel is near of interesting sights and railway station. Bathroom was not very clean

Hi The earlier you book, the best rates in fact you can benefit from, but all along the year, you can have good rates, summer time including. But that's right, some events in Paris make the rates higher than the usual ones and less availabilities (fashion week, congress...) For our hostel, the rates include breakfast and all other services as air conditonning, lockers in the lobby and private double room with flat tv screen, a lift... difficult to find in old parisian flat. However, thanks for your review. Pity you didn't mentionned any problem about the cleanliness in your bathroom when you were here, all is cleanned every day and if any request, the staff is here to help. Contact me if you come back soon in Paris, i will be enjoyed to meet you ! The Manager

I Lost my iPad the Day I checked in the Hostel . I was in a Shared Room . The Person who Stole it was a Room Mate. The Lockers were All Sold Out . When I complained the Hostel Staff was Less than Cooperative - as a matter of fact they sent me to Gallarie Lafayate to make a Police Complaint instead of directing me to the Nearest Police Station at Gare Du Nord which is the Nearest Station . I could have recovered - But the Hostel Staff Ensured that I Lost it because of their Attitude !!

Hi In fact you 've got to let valuables in lockers in the lobby, and if no availabilities because all are sold out, you still can let at reception. The main thing to do was correct, fill a form for police complaint, and be carefull, the nearest police station is not the one in charge of our district, so i suppose you were sent to the right address. In any case, we still stay at guests disposal for help. Let me know if you come back in Paris to meet you ! The Manager

I struggled paying 25 euro per night for a hostel but the place was truly amazing, the atmosphere was really chilled out and the best Ive ever felt in a hostel. However, this could be due to the fact no-one can cook there. The kitchen is SO small, its a real shame, I hope they make a kitchen downstairs! It would make it really a treasure! THE STAFF WERE REALLY AWESOME! I am really glad I chose this hostel, my favourite to date. Thank you Vintage! Also can you change check out time to 12pm :-)

HORRIBLE SECURITY- while I was here one of the people in my room had his stuff stolen and after that I realized how easy it is for that to happen. The biggest issue is that unlike most hostels that require you to give them your passport so they can scan it and have a copy, they only require you to fill out a slip with your passport number. See the problem with this? I can put down any random set of numbers and they would never know if it's really my passport number or not.

Hi Sorry for your roommate but all the valuables have to be put in a locker , available for free in the lobby, that is the main rule to keep in mind in an hostel when you travel. Security is well guaranteed through the welcoming card, so no problem with security, everyone has to follow few rules for himself. The Manager

There are no lockers. Neighbourghood is not very friendly, and it is not so close to Gare du Nord. Staff wasn't very nice, but anyway I stayed only for a night.

hi Alberto sorry if you didn't enjoy your stay more. In fact we've got lockers in the lobby for valuables and computers + a free luggage room to let bags before checkin and after checkout time. About the neighbourhood, usually no problem, Montmartre is one of the most famous touristic area of Paris. At last, what was wrong with the staff? We do our best to make each stay a good one, so do not hesitate to contact me if you come back ! We will welcome you with pleasure! See you soon. Sabine Manager

The location is great, at walking distance from Gare du Nord and Montmartre. Our room and bathroom were clean, but the shower was quite narrow. There was only 1 power plug in the room which can be an issue. The lobby was quite busy, mostly with people using laptops or playing board games. The breakfast was correct but simple (baguette, croissant, cereals). The staff was very friendly and helpful. Tip: items from the vending machine are expensive, so go to the 'épicerie' 100m away for half price!

Hostel is conveniently located next to Gare du Nord and metro Anvers. Staff is friendly and breakfast is good. Free WIFI is a nice bonus, but we were given 8 hours worth for the entirety of our stay and we had to stay in the lobby to use it. Rooms are clean but typically small. Bathroom shower was annoying, particularly since the drain didn't work too well and the curtain was the only line of defense from keeping the water from pouring onto the floor. Otherwise, great neighbourhood and hostel.

I stayed at the vintage hostel for three nights and enjoyed myself a lot, not the cheapest going around but still in a good location and very close to the metro and Gare Du Nord for the Eurostar. It wa really easy to meet people as I am traveling alone this was valuable.

The rooms were tiny, but cleaned daily. You had to pay for the computers, but the Wifi was free. There are no lockers in the room. the bathrooms were clean, but wet all the time. Breakfast was decent. There wasn't a large variety and not a lot of food.

We stayed here one night. The proximity of the Hostel to Gare du Nord is very convenient for an early next-morning departure. The staff member who checked us in was a little rude. In that sense the hostel lacked the comforting hospitable feel, serving only as a cheap place to stay the night.

Good place, not really a 'party' type hostel though.. few families and older people. Staff were v helpful. Only thing was bit overpriced but thats just Paris for you. Most hostels in Paris seem like that
