Great location. 4 minutes to Sacre Coeur on foot. Good and cheap suvenirs' shoops near: Cheap supermarquet just by the side. The Anvers metro is only two blocks away. The staff are attentioncious and prestative. The bathroom is very little, but it is all along Paris ( at least for the 2 bed room).

I traveled for 2 weeks in Europe. Overall this was one of the better hostels I stayed in. Location is excellent. Would stay again.

There could have been more workers at the reception desk, we had to wait quite a long time, while another customer was being served.

The staff were so lovely.. Helped with directions and local tips. Amazing location! Good breakfast included. Wifi worked well. Room clean. Tv always playing music or sports was good. Cheap towel rental. Very happy with my stay.

For me, the kind and informative receptionist made my stay very enjoyable. They gave me great suggestions, worked with my requests, and most of them were very patient and friendly. The security card rooms made my stuff feel safe; and if that wasn't enough, they had small lockers that you can use for free (.50€ returned deposit). The building was a little beat up--but that added to the character in my opinion. Enjoyed the free WiFi a bunch.

This was a great place to stay. The other people in my room were wonderful, we explored Paris together! The only downside to the hostel was that the bathroom had a lot of mold in it. For a short stay, perfect!

The girl at the reception desk said twice, that they didn't have such a reservation and as a prove gave me the list with my name listed as one of the top ones on the page. During my 2-days stay the wireless internet did not work. This is one of the most expensive hostels I've ever been and also one of the most boring.

The free WIFI advertised - didn't work for the majority of our stay, which did affect the planning of our activities. However we were offered the use of the computers - free of charge. Pity that everyone else needed to use them too and there was a queue.

Easily the most social hostel I've visited, which makes up for how old the bathroom was, or the unhelpfulness of one of the staff members. Free wifi, decent breakfast and nothing seriously annoying wrong. So the location means if I was in Paris again iàd stay here. I wish the management would install lockers in the rooms.

the ceiling above the shower was starting to fall down, there were holes in the wall, the room wasn't cleaned while I was there, no security lockers in the room, female staff not helpful or really interested in their job but male staff did try. It was in a convenient location and I did manage to sleep, lovely hot showers,and breakfast included.

Extra cost for the safety box? In my opinion that should definitely be included to the price of staying at the hostel. Also the room was very small, without enough space for everybodys belongings. Bunkbed was creaking and swaying whenever the other sleeper moved even a little.. At breakfast there wasn't enough clean tableware for everybody.. I'm not fan of lock out times either. So basicly the stay there wasn't so pleasant as I think it could have been with small improvments.

I would have appreciatied a comfortable couch or chairs in the lobby downstairs. The chairs present are not very comfortable to me and are hard to relax on after a day walking in Paris. Breakfast was simple but enough. I would have liked the toilet/bathroom/dustbin te be cleaned a little more often. During my 4 nights stay they were not cleaned. Beds are good.

Hi Carla don't you like the new coloured ? We have changed the disposal of the lobby for a new atmosphere :) That's why, the lobby is more an area to listen to music and meet others than relaxing... why not a relax area soon ? Cleanliness is made every day, the guests have to let the room available from 11 to 4 pm and if any request, we are at your disposal. Hope to welcome you another time Sabine

A pleasant stay, but the wifi connection in Vintage is a troublesome,it is weak in connection,not stable and it required new password whenever the given short timeframe is finished. Pillows provided are too soft that it doesnt function as a pillow at all. The female staff at the reception is not friendly especially that she didn't mention nor introduce about the services in the hotel (eg towels provided, facilities introduction) while we check in, but thumbs up for the male-black receptionist.

Hi sorry you didn't enjoy more your stay. Free wifi could be low when all are connected all together... but it is important to keep this free service for the guests ! New passwords are necessary for security (rules we cannot change) I keep you request for the pillows. As for the introduction, to be sure that all of our guests could have information at all the time, all is well mentionned also in the lobby and in your card at your checkin, but we are still at your disposal for more questions ! Hope you will come back ! Sabine
