Good location, easily accessible by metro. Rooms were super clean, bathroom and toilet included.
The beds were confortable (more than in other hostels located in the center and that are more expensive).
I didn’t try the breakfast but the bar area was nice.
The place felt pretty secured as well.
There were a few school groups in the hostel while I was there. Something to be aware of, but it didn’t bother me.
I would definitely go back !
Nothing to complain. The staff were extremely friendly and beds were comfortable. The only thing is that the toilets have a sewage smell and they’re not cleaned by housekeeping daily.
The bed was amazing, the room a bit stuffy. Toilets maybe can add refreshers. The food was amazing just more promotion will be good

A Queen Size bed in this hotel means your bed is 130x178cm. Which simply isnt queen size (those should be at minimum 140x180, even in a ho(s)tel).
A huge amount of objects in the room were broken (chair, bedside table, lamp, fan).
When adressing this with a staff member, we got laughed at and ended up calling hotels.com, who gave us good assistance and help.
Eventually management switched us to a better room. Honestly this was notnworth the almost 800 euros it costz including breakfast. Which is also a waste of money. Do not get the breakfast here. Just go to a boulangerie, or the shop downstairs.
We stayed in a private room and private bathroom. It was great for a family of 7.

Disliked: Amenities
This hostel was very aesthetically pleasing — the rooms were spotless and well-organized, and the showers were equally clean. However, I was disappointed by the amenities, especially considering the higher prices. There was no self-serve guest kitchen, which I’ve come to expect from hostels, as almost all I’ve stayed in provided one. Overall, everything felt a bit overpriced, and the setup didn’t offer much flexibility for guests to prepare their own meals. While the space itself was lovely, the value for money just wasn’t there for me.

This hostel is well located and the rooms are big with bathroom inside the room. Unfortunately when I was there the elevators got broken so I had to climb all the stairs many times. And some staff don’t speak english getting the communication a little bit difficult
I always try to stay here whenever I am in Paris. This time I had a single room with a balcony and a bath which I highly recommend.

They checked me into a pre-occupied room with stuff in the locker, used beddings and extremely smelly washrooms. I got moved into a different room after I talked to the staff. Staff is friendly and helpful.
My room’s locker was in the corner that I could not open it up all the way as it would hit the wall. Not very functional and extremely noisy to use.
The breakfast buffet is not really a full buffet as they would only let you order the main breakfast dish once, which is also to pick one option out of 4/5.
Both the staff and my roommates were very courteous during my stay. A cosy environment and respectful and friendly staff.
Suggestion: The food and beverage part can be made a little more affordable. I had a smooth and peaceful stay. I would prefer it again, thank you.
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.
Good location just a short walk from Gare du Nord and close to Metro stations. Staff welcoming and friendly. Convenient to have lockers for luggage as we arrived before check in and could leave stuff there for the day after check out. Had a twin room with private bathroom. Spotlessly clean
I was sceptical being a hostel but staff were friendly it was quiet ,room was large clean and comfortable with outdoor space with views food was good. Good location close to transport underground trains and main train station
