The barman we know (on weekends at night) was very nice. On the other side, th pillows were very little. But in general every thing was fine.

good clean room, good security and all your needs in building but the staff are very RUDE and not nice. its is a good place but i would stay away just becuase the staff are bad. there were no problems either, they (4 different ones) were just miserable.

Nice breakfast although limited to one croissant, one piece of bread, one cup of cereals and unlimited chocolate/milk/coffee. Its not located in the centre of the action but is near the subway and the RER station that connects both airports, so it takes you 10 minutes to go to the Eiffel Tower and 50 minutes to the Charles de Gaulle airport.close

I would prefer to have a flexible 24 hr clock checkin time rather than the mandated 2:30 pm timing. This would make life easier for us, tourists.

Your check out time is 9:30 am. I think it's too early. Normally, the check out time could be 12:00.

Seemed to be the plae of choice for school groups - the place is massive but will be full of teenagers. Breakfast pretty average.

Very clean and very cold hostel. Outside was 1-3 C, inside my room - a little bit more. One day a cleaning-lady left the window opened, and when at 22.00 I've come back, the room was like a fridge.

One day a cleaning-lady left the window opened, and when at 22.00 I've come back, the room was like a fridge. There are holes in the frame of the window, and during the day the ventilator who brings warm air was switched off. I've returned at 23.30, and my room was so cold that for a long I could not take off my coat. In morning the room temperature was OK. There is not any place to hang the towels.close

It was very clean, cold, I felt cold in this hostel, the breakfast was very good but the downside was the check out at 9.30 am and breakfast from 6.30 until 8.30, still dark in the winter. I would go back otherwise.

The staff tried to kick me out of my room and kept screaming at me to get out despite my showing a receipt and reservation confirmation. Meanwhile my girlfriend went downstairs to speak with the front desk about this issue, and was rudely told that I hadn't paid (I had less than 2 hours before...

I had reserved a single room but was given a twin room just for myself. It was very clean, but quite narrow. Furnishing of the room was OK, with two closets, two tables and shelfs to put things on. Bathroom was clean too, but the shower had too little pressure and there was no place to put... more I had reserved a single room but was given a twin room just for myself.

Recommend FIAP Jean Monnet to anyone. It's not a party house but for a clean, well located hostel that isn't going to disappoint like a lot of Paris accommodation this is your place. 10 minutes to an RER and Metro station with bags was handy. Breakfast was simple but taty and rooms were...

should be a hotel, no social scene or fun as occupants were mostly kids but the room was incredible and the hostel itself is beautiful. the breakfast ran too early, over at 845 making it nearly impossible to make after a fun night out. good for couples looking for a quiet place.

I think that it is unacceptable, even for a hostel, that if you spend more to have a private room, you can't sleep anyways because you can hear people snoring from the room next to yours. Also, the staff was really unfriendly and unhelpful. Except for the guy at the bar, Lorenzo; he was really nice.

hostel rules are not posted anywhere. you are not informed of them when you check in. staff was unhelpful. i had a private room, and the hostel was so big it was impossible to meet other people. internet is really overpriced 5 euro an hour. one girl on the night shift was a real bitch.
