I cannot recommend you the visit of this hostel. There are some reasons for it: - On the webpage it is said that it costs 18 EUR per night. But it is wrong. When I arrived they told me to pay 25 EUR per night. It is not that I don't want to pay this price. If the costs for... More

Although in a great location (right near Gare de Lyon and short bike ride from main attractions) this hostel is disgusting. The sheets were dirty (they didnt change ANY of the sheets in the week i was there, despite the fact that many different people stayed) The pillows didnt have removable cases so you were sleeping on dirty pillows The...

This is the most terrible place I have ever stayed. The location is fine but literally everything else about this place is awful. The staff are needlessly rude. The rooms are dirty. The door to the bathroom was off it's hinges. The internet access is stupid expensive and there is no Wi-Fi. There is nowhere safe to leave your bags... More

Quite dirty. Clean sheets not included in the price: you have to pay 2 E. for a single sheet (but without the pillow cover!). Fortunately we had all the sleeping bags. We booked a very small room for 4, where the mattresses were deformed and uncomfortable. The included breakfast consists of 3 coins with which to take warm beverages and/or... More

This is the worst hostel of the many I have ever stayed at. Rude staff, disgustingly dirty (particularly sheets), tiny dirty cold shower (only one per floor), no handbasin in toilet, only one key per room though its four or five people (three different groups in my case) per room. (They stole three euros from me; internet supposedly 30 mins... More

This place managed by a maniac, Celine, is so overly priced when taken under consideration, she runs the place as a jail house. Years ago was operating with the same mafia in the Tourist Information Center at Ave. Champs Elisses, (closed now). Which used to send everyone, claiming it was the cheapest hostel in Paris at only 18.30 euros per... More

This place was Terrible. The stairs are the only way up to the rooms,so prepare to struggle with your luggage. Some thing we worried about was the storage room which is not locked or supervised so any one could easily take your stuff. The rooms have no redeeming factors.Our plugs didn't work. My friend had some of her clothes stolen.Absolutely... More

The only reason I would recommend this hostel is if you have an early train and you need somewhere to sleep for a few hours. I highly recommend locking your bags in the train station before checking in, since the stairs are narrow, steep, and the only way to get to your room. (Make sure to bring up to 10... More
