We needed a base to explore Paris, wanted a private room and wifi, and didn't mind the other details (and can't spring for a fancy hotel). This was exactly it. Beds were comfy, a locking safe provided security, windows facing indoor ventilation courtyard brought fresh air, private bathroom was compact but workable-- we didn't realize laundry was available until after we were packed to go, but that's a plus. My partner did a remote class for his grad school while there and wifi was fine. In the heart of Montmartre ten minutes from Sacre Couer and dozens of brasseries, cafes, two train stations, plenty of kebabs, and in easy walking distance of historic flea markets.

If either of us was ten pounds heavier or a few inches taller, the shower would have been too small to use without bumping our elbows-- but that comes with the building. Loud students tromping around are to be expected too.

Fantastic location, in a quiet area near the Mairie du XVIIIème and opposite the Bibliothèque, but within easy walking distance of Chateau Rouge, Montmartre and Pigalle. Live music, theatre, food and spices from all over the world. The Montclair is a welcoming hostel and our twin bedded room felt like a comfortable budget hotel room, with a private bathroom, a desk and 2 chairs. The Montclair has safe boxes and luggage storage facilities. The kitchen offers a hot drinks machine and other facilities.

I had paid for the room at the time of booking and was asked to pay again at the hostel on arrival. Even though i provided printed proof of my payment to booking.com at the reception desk, staff said that it was a mistake by booking.com - It was raining and we needed a room, so we paid and will take it up with booking.com who have proved to be excellent at reimbursing when there have been blips in the past.

- Room was very clean, door locked easily and we felt very safe, good facilities for what we paid (hairdryer, towels, soap all provided). Beds were comfy enough and we got a good night’s sleep most nights :) - Staff were nice and approachable, front desk well staffed. Staff also spoke good English which was not taken for granted as our French is not the best! - Great location, near Montmartre and Sacre Couer but also right next to a Metro station so could get to central Paris for more sightseeing easily. Also a bar and cafe on the same street so easy to get brunch or drinks without straying too far. - Overall just a pleasant stay! If you’re not really fussy and like good value for money this is a good hostel to stay in: clean, well supplied and safe which is all you really need.

- Loads of stairs as our room was on the sixth floor, not a huge problem for us but as there’s no lift I wouldn’t recommend this hostel to anyone with mobility issues. - Toilet and sink/shower in different rooms - not a huge issue for us just a little weird! - No working AC so got very hot - we’re British so used to no AC during heatwaves but something to bear in mind if you’re coming during summer. - Having to hand the key to our room into reception every time we went out and collect it again whenever we got home was mildly inconvenient (although we understand that this helps keep the hostel secure)

Rooms were very clean, and big. Beds were comfortable. There were lockers for your valuable items. Washroom with soap, shampoo, towels and with a very hot shower. Both day and night staff were very helpful with 24 hour service. They Help us with language translation too. Kitchen was well equipped with a cooker, microwave, fridge, cutlery and toaster. Kitchen was open from 0700 to 2400. Breakfast time was from 0700 to1000. If your children are sleeping after 1000 you can take the breakfast tray to the room. Breakfast was very good. Breakfast tray was labeled with our names. Hostel was located near metro station, food stores and restaurants. Bring your photo 2.5 cm by 3 cm and buy Navigo pass for 1-5 zones from terminal 2E to use trains, busses and metro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mn-S_om21c

It was raining during our stay in Paris ,please take an umbrella with you. We did not have a necessity for an air conditioner. Orange juice and cheese were included in breakfast. You can by fresh fruits and eggs from food store for very cheep price from Supermarché G20 and boil eggs in the kitchen.

Really enjoyed our stay! the place of the hotel is just perfect and it is it's best attribute, 2 mins away from the metro station and 10 mins away from the Sacred Heart Basilica (which is worth a visit). Montmatre was the best place to stay in our short Paris trip and we really enjoyed the neighborhood. There are supermarkets 5 mins away and a kebab place that stays open til 3am some streets away. The staff was friendly and whenever we had a small problem they helped us. The room was a bit small but with a very comfy bed and it still had everything you need inside! We asked to be on a high floor and they fulfilled our claim. The price was very good for what we got! I would visit it again (but I would not choose to be on the 5th floor this time with all the stairs haha)

The heater wasn't strong and the rooms were a bit small, but finally these were not big problems. Be ready for a lot of stairs!

Excellent value for money considering how expensive accommodation in Paris can be. We booked a double room with a private bathroom and they ended up giving us a quadruple room comprising of 1 room with a queen bed and another with 2 bunk beds. Although we didn’t use the room with the bunk bed since there was only two of us, the room size where the queen bed was located at was relatively large for Paris. Rooms and Toilets were clean, and they even provided towels, toiletries and a hair dryer. There is a luggage storage room too in the lobby. Staff were friendly and made check in and check out very easy. Highly recommend this place.

The walls were thin. Since our room was located near the wooden staircase, we could always hear people walking up and down.

Location was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and adequate. There was a safe to secure valuables. The shower, while the doors leaked, had great water pressure and a lot of hot water. basic toiletries, towels and hairdryer were provided. They offered a small continental style breakfast/coffee in the shared kitchen area for 7€ starting at 7:30am. We never ate it as there are so many lovely local cafes to try but its nice to have the option. Free wifi worked great.

It was small, and basic. There was NOTHING extra in the room. bed, desk and 1 nightstand with no drawers. But for 2 nights we didn't need much. Any longer of a stay and it may have not been ideal. We were first given a key to a room that was occupied! Luckily the people were not actually in the room when we opened their door and the staff was very apologetic and gave us a new room right away. We could smell smoke I assume from people smoking outside our window so not really the hotels fault.

Location was great , close to metro stops . Plenty of places to eat & grab a coffee within minutes. Walking distance to everywhere . Beautiful view of MonteMarte from room 506. Lovely little balcony on room window. The bed/mattress was genuinely one of the best we’ve slept on. The family room was spacious,private bathroom with good shower. Yes the building is old but full of character & but clean and functional. Stay again no bother. For our family of 4 with 2 teenage sons the room was perfect .

Stairs was good fun 😀 we just had carry on Luggage . It would be a work out with bigger cases .

It was affordable for two nights, the staff was friendly, it was clean. The rooms weren’t as nice as in the pictures but that didn’t bother us. The Metro-Station was just around the corner. Montmartre and Sacré-Coeur were in walking distance. The breakfast was simple but very nice.

It depends on your expectations. We were happy to find an affordable place to show our children around Paris. And we really couldn’t complain. The only thing that rubbed us the wrong way was that nobody told us you needed to make a reservation for the breakfast. It wasn’t a big problem but still, somebody might as well have told us.

Montmarte is a gorgeous location in Paris. We loved walking around in the evenings, lots of eateries nearby and small supermarkets. The metro station was a few minutes walk away. Our room had bunk beds for the children and two beds pushed together for the adults. A toilet, separate shower and basin, then an additional basin in the bedroom. Basic, clean but all we needed. Please note that there is no lift in this property! We were on the 5th floor and lugged cases all the way up a circular staircase. There is a luggage room and lockers if you wish to leave items.
