Whilst has a metro stop about 15m from front door (underneath so no noise) most destinations need a few connections as you have to go to the next stop to get any standard routes. Staff were great as let us leave our bags at reception both prior to check in and for most of the day after checkout...

The staff are very nice and friendly. They're very considerate, I must say. The place is good, location-wise and money-wise. I will definitely booked on this hostel next time.

We liked the hotel. The staff was kind. Of course it is not luxurious, but the room and bathroom were clean. Entrance carpet quite dirty, but all in all the hotel has an old, popular Parisian charm to it.

It may be a little run down for some, but for cheap and funky it was just perfect for me.close

For the price the hotel was great. AMazing location right above a metro station - supermarkets, bakeries nearby. 10 minutes walk from Gare Du Nord. It is on a busy road though so can imagine in summer with windows open could get quite noisy but our windows were all double glazed - go for rooms... more For the price the hotel was great.

This was hotel was the closest we could find to a hostel price range but still offered much more comfort ( private bathroom etc).would always go again.The rooms on 3 and 4 floor are amazing.The hotel is above a subway station.The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff was extremely helpful.

If you dont want to stay in the hotel all day long and just want to sleep there, this hotel is for you. Although we got no TV in the room and the hairdryer was broken, we didnt mind. We got our own hairdryer and in the evening, we were too tired to watch TV anyway. If you dont have too much expectation, we recommend this hotel, but if you expect a bar of chocolate on the pillow every evening, choose something else.close

Clean, comfortable, close to the metro so you can get everywhere and walking distance from a train station. Decent area, but probably not the best choice for backpackers, unless you need the break from hostels and want your own shower for a night.

We spent less than 12 hours in the hotel for 50 euros and were told to cheackout exactly on 12 o'clock. Hotel is located directly about a metro station; shaking the foundations. Do not go to this hostel! You have been warned!!close

The room was fine, if a bit small and could've done with some maintenance as some things were damaged. On the whole it was good value and the staff were very friendly even though they didn't speak much english.
