The staff at the rooftop bar + the receptionist with long dark hair absolutely made my stay. While the location was extremely convenient, my assigned bed was already booked. When they rebooked me a second time, the bed I was staying in was not made/housekeeping never got to it. Due to the constant back and forth, I just made the bed myself so I wouldn’t have to go back a third time. Over all, the stay was convenient but staff needs to communicate a bit better so rooms are not double booked and clean for the next guest that arrives.

10/10 everything. Staff are some of the nicest people I’ve met and set a great tone for the rest of my trip. The sleeping arrangements were great, showers/washroom situation was great. The bar/eating area upstairs had the BEST view and you could see the Eiffel Tower. 10/10, would definitely go again! SO recommend for solo travellers, you won’t be disappointed 🤗

Really great hostel Great breakfast Clean and well connected My only annoyance was the ladder to the beds was extremely noisy and where they had repaired the wall it didn’t leave enough space for the door so every time someone left the room the door would scrape against the wood and be unnecessarily loud. But these were very minor problems and one very specific to just the room I happened to be in. A excellent hostel for a very reasonable price comparative to Paris hotels

One of my favourite hostels in Paris. Have stayed here number of times and never disappoints. Location, room and roof top are the highlights. I like how it's close to the station, supermarket next door and plenty of eateries near by.

Really conveniently located, well connected to key areas of Paris and some great food options nearby. Staff were really helpful and the quality of accomodation was great. Beds were comfy and facilities were clean and well maintained. Despite being on a busy roundabout, it was quiet inside. Would definitely stay here again.

The bed wasn't very comfortable, and the pillows were terrible. There was only one towel and no bathroom mat. It wasn't a very comfortable room, but the location was excellent, right in front of the metro. And from my room, I could see the tip of the Eiffel Tower.

Good hostel

The hostel is next to a perfect metro station and the rooms are super good. I stayed at a 6female dorm and the beds are quite private and with big lockers. The shared bathroom is not good. They could use a better cleaning service.

Comfy beds but steps to upper bunk are very loud and creaky, rooms are very cramped. Washrooms felt very dirty because water would collect on the floor and not dry up, causing a smell since there was no ventilation. No common area as well. Rooftop area is very popular with those at the hostel and locals alike therefore busy, so sometimes there was no seating. Location is great, lots around but not too busy and metro is right across.

The rooftop bar took too many reservations from people not staying at the hostel, so on multiple nights there wasn't any room to dine or to meet people staying there. The front desk staff were amazing, helpful, nice... the rooftop staff not so much. The rooms were great. The bathroom cleanliness depended on the day (clients at fault, just as it is with any hostels). The locations was amazing! The metro was steps away, market right next door, multiple restaurants, cafes, bar, and everything else you need.

Rooftop bar is incredible, everything else just OK

The rooftop cafe/bar is amazing. Everything else was, at best, satisfactory or average. My main complaint was that there's VERY little space in the dorm rooms - it felt very cramped. I know, it's PARIS and if you want space you're gonna pay big money for it. But given that there are lower-priced hostels in the city, I guess I was expecting a bit higher level of amenity here. The shower/bathroom facilities are nice and modern, but weren't very clean and there was water all over the bathroom floor from the showers. Still - the location of the hostel worked for me, given that I just needed a place near Gare de Lyon after a late evening train arrival. I was looking for a bed for one night and a place to shower before catching a flight home from Paris the next morning - so I suppose to that end my basic needs were met. Don't know that I'd book here again, though.

I only stayed for a very short night. Location is great, bed was comfortable and clean, as well as the shared bathroom. My only issue was with the man at the check in on my arrival: horrendous behaviour, unhelpful, unprofessional and seemed to be bothered with any questions I asked him. No explanation of the place, or how to use the lift to get to your room.
