It was a lovely hostel, frepiendky staff and all. It took me so long to find from Gare du Nord station but that's my own fault really. Its tucked away nicely, I really liked it :-)

Stayed in an ensuite 4 bedded room (2 double decker beds). Plain and simple room. Toilet/bathroom was nice.Staff were friendly. Located not far away from Gare Du Nord (RER) and very near to the metro station Anvers. Free breakfast was excellent. Good place to stay if you're on a budget.

In the ensuite bathroom that my room had, the ceiling looked like it was going to collapse, the sink leaked and the shower/bathtub was unusable because of a whole in the tub, hence leaking. If it was only my room, then i wouldn't bother putting it in the comments, but I have heard similar stories from multiple people saying similar things about the facilities.

Nice enough hostel with nice staff. Only gripes are as follows: there are no lockers in the dorms, the dorms themselves can be very small and I didn't have a warm shower for my entire stay (over a week). The kitchen isn't very well equipped and isn't available to cook in from 9.30 - 12 each day while it is cleaned, if ever you wanted a fry up...

Most of the staff was really helpful for a first-time Paris visitor. I really appreciated help with the Metro.

Hi Prices depends on when you book ! The sonner you book, better the rates are. And of course, private rooms are more expensive than dormitories to share. The Manager

The bed was nice, but the bedroom was really small. Besides, the shower gets COLD if you take your bath around 10h / 11h A.M. They say it´s because there are too many people taking bath at the same time. They told us that a guy would fix this, but nothing changed during our stay.

Hi the hot water was well fixed, it lasted two hours so If any problem all along your stay, it is very important to let us know. That is also right that 10 o clock is a rush time. However, hot shower is available 24 hours/24 instead of other hostels. Let us know if you come back. The Manager

Decent hostel and location! Yummy breakfast and pretty helpful staff. However our bathroom was so mouldy and smelly we could hardly use it. We had to put the bath may outside so we could breathe! The mildew smell was horrible! We also all got colds as soon as we arrived? Bathroom definitely needs a facelift.

Thank you for the wonderful staff and great place to stay while I was in Paris. The location was convenient and close to major train /metro stations. The staff was thoughtful and helpful. The kitchen and common area was clean and inviting. I would stay again and recommend.

My stay was less than avarage. The beds were loose, so it felt like we would fall from the bunk beds. The carpet on the room floor was stained and smelly. Wifi is horrible when there are more than 5 people in the lobby. Breakfast was good. Curtains were absolutely dirty. Blankets were smelly. I wouldn't be there and recommend it to anyone again.

Cheapest is cheapest.. If you are not going to stay at hostel more than few hours sleep..then it's "okay". Breakfast was good! Near train stations Paris est and Paris Nord! and free wi-fi what is working well at the lobby.

This is a good hostel. It is so down town, and near to the train station so you can reach many attractive place by one step. Staff are so friendly and the breakfast is so good. This is a recommended place to stay, so warm with a reasonable room price. Salute!!

Overall, this is a pretty nice hostel. The area that this is in is a bit dodgy. I would not recommend this hostel for a first time trip to Europe. It is also close to a metro station which is a plus.

The staff were very helpful with information and booking shows. The breakfast was average. The room was very tiny, but expected to be for Paris... It was clean.
