A few days ago I stayed in this hostel with a school trip and I have to say this was a very pleasant experience.
Since I didn’t had very good experience with hostels my expectations where very low but this place surprised me.
Rooms: The rooms were tidy ans neat. We had extra blankets and enough space to put or belongings. I slept on one of the big rooms with my class somewhere upstairs. The room had a beautiful view. And there weren a good amount of windows we could open for fresh air. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was in a neat condition. Even the water was directly hot. There were also enough charger points.
Lobby: I spend most of my time in the lobby because I woke up very early and didn’t want to wake up my classmates. The lobby was overall very good. It was al little bit cold tho but there were blankets on most of the chairs. Something I really appreciated. There was a strong wifi connection and I could even face time with my friends without any lags. The staff was friendly and there was a nice atmosphere.
Breakfast: Something I didn’t really like here was breakfast. the breakfast was very scanty. There where only croissants, chocolate pastries and old bread. I think it was not that of a deal if we could take more than 2 pieces since this breakfast left me hungry.
Location: The location was absolutely perfect. It lays in a fancy area in Paris. There where 2 close metro station and everything was in a close reach.
Overall i had a very pleasant stay here and I would definitely...
Read moreI do not recommend it. Poor experience for so many reasons: Very strict rules that are not communicated before making the booking: strict check-in at 4:00pm. I was at reception at 3:55pm and was asked to come back a few minutes later after checking in we went to our room and 10 minutes later another person opens our room door. They assigned them the same room and gave them a key. Crazy! they told us is not allowed to stay in the rooms between 10am and 4pm (even if we had a private double room). That is 6h that you are not supposed to use the room! Seriously? Bad attitude from the “Director” of the community that lives in the 4th floor. They talked to us in a rude way saying they do a private event and we are not allowed to stay in the sofas of the lobby. Bathroom has no electricity plug All lights of the bedroom including the bathroom are turned on with home switch. That means if you want light in the bathroom you also need to have it everywhere else. breakfast costs 7€ per person per day but only includes croissant, plain white bread, boxed juice and coffee. Too expensive for the value. You can make exactly the same using the kitchen in the -1 floor. The only positive thing is the location but this place does not welcome guests. I travel around a the world and very few times I had such a...
Read moreWe LOVED our time here. Four nights and then we stored our large bag here while exploring other parts of France and then five more nights.||The rooms are very comfortable. You have to put on your own sheets and bring your own towel and toiletries but the value is perfect.||We had their included (when you book on their site) breakfast of croissant, pain chocolate, bread, choice of spreads, coffee or tea and juice daily. They have a fridge where you can put other items and a kitchen to prepare meals at other times. They also have a 5 Euro laundry area. No a/c but the windows open to let in the outside cool air. ||The group area is great, the courtyard is such a treat.||Location - less than a 30 minute walk to most important things: Eiffel tower, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Champs Elysees & Arc d'Triumph. Very close to two metro stations and a bus station. A four minute walk to the Seine River where you can view the Eiffel Tower sparkle on the hour after dark.||If you want to be in the middle of busy cafes and shops, this is not it. It is surrounded by very posh shops and hotels, so that makes the street more quiet. ||We loved it so much and will always return here when we...
