For the money this is a good option. The single and double rooms were a good size, clean and had everything you needed. For sure I would recommend it.

In the description of the property air conditioning is included, but the air in my room steadily ran and never cooled off. It was very hot. Only one window would open, so we couldn’t even get a nice breeze.

It’s kind of a nostalgic visit for me. There are so many great memories from here. From walking the sunset at night on the roof top to partying downstairs. And the staff is amazing.

Top quality hostel

It´s not close to the city center and it's around a little bit sketchy area but this is a top quality hostel, perhaps the best hostel i've ever been.

elevators not working- understandable. but they closed a stairwell and only told you at the bottom, so you had to walk back up to exit. this can’t be safe for fire hazard reasons. €7.50 to rent a towel.. that should not be the case. the rooftop was also closed for a private event which was a main reason why I booked

Well located but very average stay

A well positioned hotel for exploring the city. Don’t be fooled by online photos, not especially accurate for our room. Beds were uncomfortable with metal bed frame slats that made the mattress slide around. We asked everyday for some fresh towels but never received any; excuse was either ‘someone will bring some’ or ‘we have run out and are expecting a delivery’. Food in the restaurant was average but very expensive. Drinks were ridiculously priced!!!

Pretty good stay. Not in the best neighborhood of Paris but super close to the metro. Bed was comfortable, warm showers, cold AC(once I figured it out), welcoming staff, great bar. Food is okay. Didn’t eat breakfast because it looked super simple. I’d stay here again!

You get what you paid for, should’ve been cheaper

This came recommended to me by my sister who had stayed on a school trip. Which should’ve been my first sign to just book a hotel instead. I had booked a 6 day stay, and only 5 days too many. Was accidentally given a room that wasn’t ready, so we embarrassingly had to quickly shut the door on a room with somebody still in there, who hadn’t respected check-out time at 10. Curtains offer no options for letting light in and having privacy at the same time. Only light bulb in one nightstand lamp and one night stand was screwed shut so the logistics of using two of them made no sense as the beds covered the third option No room service card, so no option to get new towels or a general cleaning of the bathroom and shower. Though we tried ourselves to keep it clean We were also placed underneath the floor where they have their table tennis etc, so every evening till 11pm we had the pleasure of entertainment on our phones AND the sound of stomping, running and dropping balls upstairs The entrance to the hall also has a very creaky door and that shouldn’t had bothered my partner and I, if it wasn’t because we had the room right in front of the doors, a simple WD-40 could’ve fixed that annoying sound. I didn’t get a picture of the roof flaking off or the spray paint covered spots on the walls

Generator for Gen Z

Reception and Bar/Café staff were very friendly. Could do with much more cleaning, particularly the floors where the rooms are located, as well as the bathrooms. Despite being situated in a busy area, it was quiet.. Couldn't hear the traffic or any noise from the streets.

Can do much better

No towels in the bathroom when we arrived, empty shower gel and shampoo dispensers, broken A/C so we had to leave the window open and dealt with mosquitoes and loud noises in the street. Avoid if you can. Nice decoration, vibe and receptionists.
