By far worst sleep i’ve had in my life. Mattresses have plastic covers and the outside of windows disgusting only open a crack.. honestly the downstairs bar area is lovely and it looks great going in. But. I was sticking to the bed every time i moved, tiny little pillow as well. Just overall horrible sleeping situation. Location is great, staff are nice etc

If you’re a woman staying alone, stay in Marais instead. This neighborhood did not feel very safe at all. Security here is good but that just means you can’t leave unless the sun is out and be cautious even then. Not very clean, always a weird smell. Besides that fine, and the breakfast is great.

For the most part it was a pretty good hostel however, our room had major issues with the cleaning service. They checked me and a few other girls in before the room was ready, we had to wait in the hall for them to finish. After that it seemed like the cleaning service completely skipped our room for almost the whole time I was there. The room and especially the ensuite were getting pretty grim by the time I left. They even checked numerous girls into our room before their beds had been cleaned.
