Very clean, which i appreciated, and very quiet which was also good. I had big room to myself with shower, toilet, tv and large window, exactly like hotel and was warm and comfy. A little out of the way but i would def go there again as the standard was high and it was calm with no fuss....

It´s not the typical backpacker´s atmosphere, but it´s a real hotel with all its quality you need to take a good rest for your stay in Paris. Very good that handicaped and non-handicaped persons are not divided.

Hostel is very clean with nice sized rooms. Downside is that it is a 15 min metro ride to the main attractions. Feels more like a hotel than a hostel.

El único desacuerdo fué que no estaba la habitación para poder ocuparla, en el momento que llegamos, y asta las 3 no se pudo ocupar.Por lo demás, fué una grata sorpresa, debido al precio asequible, con la limpieza excelente, y la cálida habitación, con el baño limpio e individual. Lo...

Overall a very nice experience. It is very far, about 30 or 40 minutes by metro, to see all the major attractions in Paris, but staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hostel to anyone who doesnt mind the metro.

They need to give directions from the Metro stop Porte de Montreil. Their directions end at that metro stop but you have to walk about 3-4 blocks to get there and they give no indication as to which direction.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It was very clean, and nice and quiet. Loved being able to get a private double room with two beds and a private bathroom. A little far away but the metro was very convenient. Glad I chose to stay here

This place is awesome if you are getting off of a Eurolines bus late at night. It is the same price as some hostels and it is really a hotel. TV in room, free internet and awesome breakfast. Only issue is it is quite a ways from most of the stuff you might want to see in Paris, but a good stop-over.

It's pretty clean and comfortable. The only disaavantage is the location which is not easy to get. Otherwise, it is good to stay for a short vacation to visit Paris.

We actually made a mistake in our booking (we booked the hostel for the night after we needed it) and they were incredibly nice about it, letting us use an extra room for no additional charge!

The hostel has very nice and clean rooms. It actually looks more like a hotel and is not expensive at the same time. Located far from the center but close to the metro. Certainly a good place to stay.

39 € for a en-suite single in Paris? Breakfast included? You'd be mad to go anywhere else! OK, it's not close to anything - but with the Metro, is that a problem? Not much character, but a good night's sleep.
