At JO&JOE people either come from the other side of the world or just live one block away. They gather to enjoy a fresh, simple and homemade cuisine as well as refreshing drinks and the 450 square meters garden. The stage welcomes artists every week and our events program brings travelers and locals together.

This hostel is cheap for Paris and what you get corresponds to this price. It ticks the main boxes but is really not very nice.

I arrived to find a used pair of underwear on my bed from a previous guest. The room has also obviously not been cleaned very well. Since it was 2am by the time I’d got to my room, I had to be placed in a dorm which I wasn’t very comfortable with, hence why I booked a private room. I understand that this was out of your control, but it could have been easily solved by just cleaning properly. Even the new room I was placed in was not particularly clean.
