Plenty of room in common area, with access to wifi and small bar (fridge with beer). Large kitchen was nice so people could cook and hang out too. Room was comfortable. Staff very helpful.

Great value for money for an affordable stay in Paris though only 1 toilet and 1 shower per floor of around 30 beds is quite poor when you need to be out before they start cleaning.

aWe stayed one night on Woodstock hostel. Its a nice place with friendly staff, it has separate facilities on each floor to bathroom and shower. The WiFi only works on the reception, but that was fine. The breakfast was kind of poor, but good enough for the price we paid. They have a kitchen that can be used by people from the hostel and lots of tables. Its a nice and cheap hostel. I have no complaints about it. Good localization, not far away from one o the metro stations.

WSH: there is a small bar area with wifi and a couple computers to use. The place is clean and I liked the individual safe boxes. However, no outside beer/wine is allowed. Sheets and towel are not included, plus a deposit is needed for everything. When I left at 7am, the staff was not on duty so I lost my key and sheet deposits...the nickel and dime stuff can be annoying. Plus, they overbooked our tiny 6-person room so we were woken up at 2am to sort it out. Overall, pretty average place.

I thought the 2AM curfew was not needed (mildly put) and the really early free breakfeast (only untill 9.30) was not helping either. Otherwise was nice and clean, which is a nice surprise for a Parisian hostel. But again everything comes back to the 2AM curfew... Damn you curfew!

When I arrived around 7 a.m. the receptionist, was sleeping in the reception with a bed made by blankets. He was totally rude when I asked about directions and didn't showed me anything just left me a map. On my last day I asked for a bottle openner to receptionist and he said to me search in the kitchen knowing that they didnt't have it, i came to him again and then he said "his boss don't allow borrowing it because he wants the guests buying Wine from the hostel" and he couldn't help me.

This was a good hostel for the money. The showers were hot which was a huge bonus and WiFi was readily available in the reception area. The room was not spotless but it was just fine as I was only there when I wanted to sleep. It had relatively easy access to the metro and bus stations. You had to rent shower towels and bed sheets if you needed/wanted them. All in all completely worth the money.

Cool installations, very good vibe, clean and the location is really convenient, the only thing that I didn't like was the poor wi fi reception, you can only access in the reception desk and only there it sucks :(

The atmosphere at the hostel is very nice and the staff is super friendly. Check in times are a little late but they have a luggage room so if you arrive early you can leave your bags and go and explore the city.

Of all the hostels my friends and I stayed in while on our spring break, Woodstock Hostel was by far the worst. The staff were unaccommodating, our room was crawling with ants, the ceiling in the shower was covered with black mold, the sheets (that we paid for) were covered in hair and pubic hair and looked unwashed, the curtain in the room had writing in white, crusty liquid. We refused to stay there and didn't even receive a full refund when my friend broke into hives because of the mold.

The location was excellent and the breakfast included was nice and saved us some money. However the staff were very unfriendly. There also Wasnt a great atmosphere within the hostel and not a huge sense of community. Furthermore, little things such as broken valuable lockers, very creaky beds and a very unclean shower meant I felt I did not get my value for money; as this hostel is not cheap!

For the price you really can't complain. Everything was average, but the bathrooms were really dirty, as well as it is shared with the whole floor.
