Nothing to complain about localization and staffs. Always well attended, basic breakfast. As I think is commom in Paris, has small rooms, but with a good service of both water and heating.

We were disappointed in the WiFi service, with it only being available in the downstairs area and it very rarely works. It took us 30 minutes to log on, and once logged on pages would time out before they loaded. The staff were less than helpful when trying to fix it. One of the staff did redeem the service when he was very helpful in trying to find us a taxi in the busy morning period.

The rooms had no plug, only one for a 3 person rooms. The room had always bad smell, like if it was humid. Also the common area had 3 plugs so you had to fight for one to be able to charge ur electronic devices. The cleaning staff was horrible. The blanquets were full of hairs. The breakfast was horrible you even had to boil you own water to make a tea.

Hi sorry you didn't enjoy more your stay. I'm a bit surprised with your review because there are many plugs in the lobby, 3 onto the buffet you can use, several near the microwave, plus many other ones... maybe it is better to ask if any needs. Bedsheets and blankets are cleaned every day and you have also possibility to change them for free if needed. As for breakfast , a kettle is at your disposal on the buffet all day long, to make a tea or hot chocolate, even to cook. A vending machine is also in the lobby if you want to a coffee... What was the problem? Let us know if you come back in Paris. The Manager

I stayed at the Vintage Hostel for 6 nights with my sister and aunt. I was positively impressed by it. The staff was incredible polite and thoughtful. The only thing that disappointed me was the internet access to keep in touch with my relatives in Brazil. Although it´s free of charge, it has a poor connection and sometimes pages wouldn´t even load. Anyways, I strongly recommend the hostel.

POSITIVE: Location is great (near 2 metro stops) and Breakfast is what we thought. NEGATIVE: Worst Staff i've already seen !! are all useless and arrogant.. The room is also really small and it stink. Wi-fi is really bad. It would be a nice hostel with this poor staff out and a better internet connection. Maybe there are some other options for this price in Paris.

Loved the huge common area/breakfast area. Part of a bunch of "Hiphop" hostels around the area. Do take note the wifi is by individual codes and one device can only use one 'account' at one time, thus you need 2 codes if u are using your phone and laptop at the same time.

Hi thanks for your review. In fact, one code per computer/phone to connect with free wifi. Hope to welcome you soon ! The manager

Lobby of the hostel was very nice, great atmosphere. Female only rooms are ok. Bunk beds are a little rickety, so you can feel every movement of the person sleeping above/below you. No lockers in the rooms, only small lockers in the lobby, so be prepared to sleep with your valuables. Each room has a bathroom, which is nice, but the bathroom in my room was quite moldy and paint was peeling off of the walls badly. Not a bad hostel, but bathroom was really gross.

Super convenient location if you are coming in by Eurostar train or flying in/out of CDG airport. Didn't have much character and seemed a bit worn, but overall still a good value for the price. The free breakfast was excellent! Room was very small and there was no space for secure storage, but downstairs you could pay a small fee to put your valuables in a locker.

Vintage is excellent placed, big hostel. Has a big, well equipped kitchen. There is metro station about 5 minutes by walk, shops and restaurant in neighbourhood. However rooms need renovation, my bed was wobbly, and I was affraid it would collapse ;) Wifi doesn't work in rooms, and it didn't worked at evenings. For that price it's still good place to stay, mostly for great location.

The hostel is ok. Breakfast is very good. The only fail is the bathroom (not clean enough) and the carpet in the rooms that is very old. But it was a good stay. I've heard a couple complaining about a drip over their bed in floor 5. But the staff reacted nicely.

Great location with Montmartre, Moulin Rouge and train stations to the city centre just around the corner. Common area downstairs is a great place to meet people with good atmosphere. Staff very helpful with directions and tour ideas. Recommended.

It was in such a fantastic location, right next to the metro and montemarte! The staff were really good, especially the day staff. He was extremely helpful with not only tourism questions but also other issues that came up, such as needing a doctor and a post offiice. It was really useful and gave us peace of mind that we knew we were getting trust worthy and good information. WiFi was also very good, as were the cooking facilities. Really enjoyed our stay there!

It's a bit far away from the center such as Saint Germen,Champ elysee but close to the Montmarte. To visit other sightseeing, you should take the metro. The staff wasn't helpful at all, no guide for where to go and visit.

I have no complaints with the area as some others did; the hostel is very close to the Anvers station, and not too far from Gard du Nord, nor did i feel unsafe. My biggest complaints were with the facilitates of the hostel: the kitchen did not include a stove and was not usable during my stay; Internet is only available in the lobby and is on a hour-long ticket system; and the carpeting in my room was also in need of replacement/a good shampooing. Not the worst, but far from the best. Fair price
