It would be more comfortable if the toilet was in the room. It felt weird to sit on the commode in a tiny space the size of an old public telephone booth.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Unfortunately i had to pay at the counter as there was some issue with the payment. The room was booked with bath, i only realised over there that bath doesnt mean toilette. I have an own shower but need to share the toulette. You have to rent beddings and towls as it is not included in the price and shower or soap, you have to buy outside as it is not at all provided by the hotel. Very surprising and i dont mean it the good way.

Rooms dont look like the ones on the pictures, it's kind of old and not really beautiful but if you just want to have a place to sleep in the center of Paris, it's totally fine. The location is perfect. Breakfast is below basic, but the people who work there are really nice :)

Lit superposé, simple couette pas de drap, pas de serviette de bain, toilettes sur le palier un étage en dessous, chaleur insoutenable avec bruit de la rue fenêtre ouverte. Possible pour une nuit à condition de savoir que c'est juste une chambre privative dans l'annxe d'une auberge de jeunesse, qu'il faut apporter sa serviette et que les toilettes sont dans les communs, mais pas à 160 euros la nuit.

El hostel está bastante bien situado pero está bastante viejo, desde luego que no corresponde en absoluto a las fotos disponibles en Hotels.com Muchisimo más viejo. Sin ninguna comodidad. No hay ni toallas en las habitaciones ni baño.

Very basic for the price we paid.

Rooms were spacious but accessing apartment was horrible. When we requested the room we wanted a downstair apartment as my wife had mobility issues. They gave us 4th floor apartment as they did not have downstairs apartment available. And they did not have any elevator. The apartment is not in the same building where we checked in. We had to walk around the block to enter the apartment. They did not have AC and it was so hot. They gave us only two really rough towels and no soap or shampoo were available. Luckily the apartment was decently clean. We ended up staying only one night, while we paid for five nights.

Kände oss som hemma.

Stor fin lägenhet. Tyst och lugnt. Fint område, nära… kommer bo där igen. Enda nackdelen är förfärligt jobbiga trappor!!! (Finns ingen hiss) vi hade tur och bodde bara på 3e våningen men fick mjölksyra ändå.

Bra men inte bäst.

Bagageförvaring är bra, men utan boxar eller lås kändes det lite otryggt. Rent och bra hostel, men sängen får 4/5, då den var en aning hängig. Hade varit trevligt med en servett på frukostbrickan, så man slipper slicka av fingrarna. Mycket bra läge.

Evitez cet établissement !

L’intitulé évoque une chambre d hôtel avec lit double, alors que lorsque vous arrivez sur les lieux, vous remarquez que cet établissement est collé à une auberge de jeunesse. (En plus c’est la même entrée, même accueil donc arnaque) On vous propose des chambres vétustes avec des lits superposés , avec une douche sans serviettes, lotion de gel douche, shampoing… Les toilettes sont à l’extérieur en fait accès commun à plusieurs chambres. Si vous tomberez sur cette annonce, un conseil n’y allez pas , très cher pour le peu de service et confort ( plus de 100€ la nuit…au secours
