The only advantage of this hotel is a good location (it is located in a gay district, and gays tend to have a good taste;))) ). The staff was not friendly at all. There is only 1 (!!!) shower for all the guests (4 floors).

Decent room; small bathroom and shower. If you have time to spare before your flight, bags can be stored in the office but you'll need to drag them up a flight of stairs where the office is located.

This hostel was well situated between two metro stations and a laundry. The room was fine, and despite we paid for a room with shared bathroom, we had a private shower and a sink. The street feels safe even at nights but it was a little noisy at nights. It is not the best place I've been in Paris... more This hostel was well situated between two metro stations and a laundry.

It is not the best place I've been in Paris but for a couple of nights is fine but be aware that there is no lift, so if you have a lot of luggage it may be a problem.close

the guy who runs the Hostel turned out to be very nice after all, very concerned. It was very clean and good beds. Perfect location in Marais. We would go there again, in the private bath/toilet double room downstairs(!).

The doormat says HOTEL but this place is more like a corridor than a hotel or hostel. It's tiny, pokey, steep narrow stairs. Rooms are miserable but I suppose I got what I paid for. The toilet and shower were on a different floor. Very uncomfortable. The guy on reception was very nice and helpful.

A decent place to stay, clean, safe and near the metro line with lots of affordable food options within walking distance . Although booking on the website was misleading, we thought we booked a room with four single beds (bunk beds), we got a room with two small double beds...

Good room, ok price, very good location for our needs. Very businesslike office guy who clearly knows what he's supposed to say, so says it all at once without any effort to be friendly. No atmosphere. I would recommend it as a place to sleep and use as a launchpad for checking out the area,... more Good room, ok price, very good location for our needs.

I would recommend it as a place to sleep and use as a launchpad for checking out the area, which is what I reckon a hostel or hotel should be for anyway. You can probably find cheaper though, and with some sort of fun element.close

The hostel was in a good location on the fringe of the Marais district. But it lacked any character and ambience. There was no communal area, so little interaction with other guests. Found the staff to be the only rude people I encountered during my four-day stay in Paris.
