The location was excellent. The establishment itself was very cute and quite cozy. In the room there was a vanity, a big mirror, a trash bin and a table. There was an option for using lockers, but I personally didn't use them. The room and beddings were clean upon arrival. The city tax could be paid by card with no problem. Toilet and shower were communal, but there was enough of them to never create a long queue and they were clean. The bunk beds were very ok to sleep in, although it did get a bit cold during the night with a thin blanket.

There was a great lack of surfaces in the toilet and shower area. There was only one clothes rack besides the shower so you could only hang your towel and maybe 2 more clothing items, but nowhere to put anything else you might have on you (cosmetics bag, underwear, pajamas etc) without them getting wet. There was also no way to dry your hands when you washed them after going to the toilet unless you had your towel with you or tried to use the hair dryer.

It was clean and cleaned daily. The rooms were big with lockers inside, you just need to bring a padlock. It's in a great location with lots of places to eat and bars. Has a great vibe about it. There is a supermarket right next door, which I used for my breakfast of warm croissants and pastries. The staff were lovely and helpful. I wanted a run locally and a lady told me about Les Jardins which were nearby. Beautiful too, so well worth a visit. There are also a few metro stations nearby too, do getting about was easy enough. I would definstely stay here again.

That there was only 1 double socket in the room for 4 beds. It did also get noisy at night so unless you sleep easily then you could be disturbed by the bar opposite. There is a small kitchen downstairs with a big fridge and a microwave but no other cooking facilities, which was a shame. That said there is plenty of places to eat in the area, street food and restaurants at reasonable prices. The crepes are gorgeous and cheap imo.

The location, the character of the building, the very helpful and friendly staff on reception

sadly the noise from the communal area travelled beautifully and directly to the room I was staying in however this was only on the second stay. Not the first so that really is dependant on who is in the hostel at the same time. And that can’t be managed really by the staff. Just unfortunate. Also. No communal kitchen. This is so helpful when travelling and the absence of this was a shame. Coffee machine however was pretty yummy and there was a large selection of drinks to buy plus a Franprix slap bang next door

Great Wi-Fi and location. Bed was firm and comfortable. Kitchen. Windows create a nice breeze in September. Staff were nice. I felt safe and secure as a solo female traveler walking and running through the area. Lots of restaurants on the block.

No sockets by the bed, but there are sockets in the room. No toilet or shower on my floor, stairs are spiral and very narrow to walk down at night with no light I could find initially. But I discovered a switch and turned it on after a few dark journeys up and down the stairs. Showers did not have adequate places to put clean clothes/dirty clothes/toiletries. My key card quit working several times necessitating a walk down three flights of stairs and back up to have it reset. A little loud at night with being on a very active street.

The lady that was working when I checked in was really nice! She even helped me with some information about the city. The place was good and there were a lot of confortable places and tables to sit. There was also music sometimes that gave a good vibe to the place.

There were no electrical outlets next to my bed. I think the other people had but I didn't. I asked the staff if they had an electric extension but they didn't. It would have been very helpful.

I don’t have breakfast. But I did check in in the morning when I was literally slowly understanding everything but receptionist was real nice and help me to make coffee and also help me to check address where came my uber driver. 1 things what sometimes happens it is I don’t have working showers on my floor. But I would like to say everything was clean. It is so important and bed was really comfortable. I really like we have opportunity to wash our hands in room because I wearing contacts I should have opportunity do that at room. I really would recommend that hostel in future. And price and location amazing. I can walking everywhere by myself.

My friends and I loved staying at this hostel, we were able to stay together in the same room, and it's great that they have rooms for a few people (ours with 4), another point is that the room had a shower inside which makes it more comfortable. The receptionist is very friendly and was very kind to us, in addition we were able to check in earlier and we were also able to store our bags on the check-out. The location is excellent, located in a charming neighborhood close to tourist attractions and within walking distance of the metro station. I loved it, I highly recommend it!

nothing, everything was great

Great location surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars. Super clean (had daily housekeeping), staff were so lovely (I extended my stay and they were able to move things around so I didn’t have to change rooms), price is great! You’re able to store your luggage before check-in and after checking out if you need. There is a sink and mirror in each room which was handy.

Only minor but on the 1st floor there is no toilet, you have to go upstairs, or to the very bottom floor (two flights). Electrical sockets are by the table in the room not the bedside

The staff was really friendly, the luggage storage was secure, and the room was spacious. The location was in a safe neighborhood, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and clubs nearby—perfect for young people looking to explore the nightlife. Plus, they had affordable coffee and soft drinks in the lobby.

The downside was the black mold on the ceiling in the shower, which definitely needs attention.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We got lucky and had great roommates! Location was excellent with many restaurants and bars nearby, and walking distance to Ile de la Cite/Nortre Dame/ Parthenon/ Luxembourg Gardens and only a couple of blocks from Place Monge metro stop. Great to have a sink in our room!

Would have loved to have a kitchen area with sink, microwave, etc. It could have been a little cleaner. Lots of hair in the showers.
