I enjoyed my stay at Vintage Hostel very much. Staff were very helpful, as soon as I arrived I was given a map, and invited to sit down with the member of staff who showed me all the places I ought to visit and how to get there on the Metro. I felt the room was clean and adequate to my needs, and had enough space for several people to keep luggage and move around without too much trouble. Having a bathroom in our own room rather than a shared one down the hall was also very convenient.

Me and a girlfriend of mine stayed here for 4 nights over the christmas break! What a great choice. Obviously coming from the states, the hostel was sight unseen, we were very pleased with the area. It is located between a couple metro stops (Anvers) is the one we got off of from the airport. The neighborhood gets sketchy at night if you are not used to a city setting. We are in our early 30's and walked the streets at about one in the morning.. ran into the Mulin Rouge and some rowdy young men.

I felt more comfortable because there were older people there and the atmosphere was a bit more serious.

Hi Ednei Lots of people are travelling at Vintage, hope you felt comfortable. Come back soon ! Sabine

The hostel staffs were very friendly and helpful in providing information. Given a double room although I booked a 4 room dorm. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was ok although the ceiling was leaking on my 2nd nite stay. Location of the hostel was great as it was near to metro. Security for storage room isn't good as the staff handed out key to self collect luggage and did not accompany. Limited socket outlets in room for charging electronic items.

Hi Audrey Hope you enjoyed your stay with us. Refurbishments will be done in the bathrooms and the rooms also (cubicle showers...) Benefit from private room for a little extra charge when we've got availabities is possible in fact :) The luggage room is not a locker, only a free space where guests can let a bag before their checkin or after the checkout. For valuables, lockers are at your disposal at reception. It is well mentionned everywhere. So we're waiting for you for a next trip ! The manager

Great warmly place situated in between three different metro lines and Gare. Three supermarkets in front of the hostel. Free internet access, fine breakfast. No noise. Perfect stuff. This is a best hostel to stay in Paris. Perfect street with Souvenirs shops just on the way to the Montmarte funicular 220m from LeVintage.

The hostel is clean enough, we found some staff helpful others not so much. Thin Walls which is annoying when youre trying to sleep and a bunch of party people come back and make a racket. Just under10min walk to two metro stations. About 15min walk to moulin rouge. Most likely would go back.

In comparison to other places and considering the price, I was very positively surprised as I expected worse in Paris. I take it that due to undersubscription I was actually given a better room than I payed for.

Hi Martin we will refurbish some parts (rooms floor.. cubicle shower in the bathrooms.. new colours on the wall...) so we are waiting for you soon ! Sabine

This was my second time staying at this hostel. The price went up since last time but for one person it's still a good deal (for two or more people I'd rather chose a hotel). The place is friendly, conveniently located near Gare du Nord (5 minutes walk) where you can catch a direct RER train to/from CDG airport (about 1/2 hour ride) and only 2 minutes walk from a subway/metro station. Continental Breakfast is included (croissants, bread, jam, coffe, tea) and served starting at 7:30am.

Hi Yes, our rates evolved a little bit but the rooms are being refurbished : bathrooms have cubicle showers, lockers in the private double rooms and other services. Hope to welcome you one more time ! The manager

A nice, safe hostel. Ideally located right near Montmartre. It was very clean, interesting decor. The bright colors in the room kept it from looking too shabby. I loved that in the shared dorm they had a small writing desk. The staff was very helpful with giving out information on Paris. Not so helpful when I had to leave at 4 a.m. and I begged for a coffee, but they said no. Oh well.

Hi Kristen Sorry if you didn't have a coffee at your checkout, maybe it wasn't ready but the coffee machine is always ok for early departure. We have had a new theme at Vintage, with records on the lobby you can look at. Hope you will have the opportunity to come back soon ! The manager

Vintage Hostel is a nice hostel very close to beautiful Sacré couer. The breakfast at the hostel is okej.. typical french breakfast.. The free wifi only works in the lobby but there is a lot of tables and chairs there so it´s okey.. :)
