Caulaincourt Square Hostel

Fantastic location. (as long as you don't mind steep hills and steps) Bus stop right outside. Metro one minute away. Resterants on your doorstep. Sacré-Cœur 10 mins walk with many many more restaurants.

Rooms was fine for what you pay in Paris. I stayed in a single room with a shower. But shared toilet. Clean room, sheets and towels. Enough space for one. TV, safty deposit box, a few hangers for clothes and a small table and chairs. The shower was hot and powerful. It's a bit of a tight squeeze to get in and out. I was given a few toiletries. Shared toilet was clean and never really had to wait long if at all. I asked for a hairdryer and extra pillow. Both were provided with out any hassle. There were a few marks on the walls which I would clean to be fair.

Breakfast was provided. Basic but handy. Teas, coffee and juice. One bread and one croissant per guest with butter and jam. I think there were cereals too but I didn't work that out.

Friendly and helpful staff.

General atmosphere was was more budget hotel than hostel. Not the kind of hostel to meet other travelers but perfect if you want a budget room and your own space. Reception and breakfast room were really smart and modern. Could be a little noisy at night as the walls are thin and you csn hear everyone passing by to their rooms.

Overall a very lovely little place to stay in Paris and I highly recommend.
