17 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great location, literally seconds from Gare de Lyon. It was clean and our room had a private bathroom and shower.

Disliked: No lift; huge suitcase, fifth floor. Paying for the internet and no wifi. Breakfast is from a vending machine. You have to pay from linen. There is only one key per room and the door locks automatically so if you come in really late your roommates have to wake up to let you in

Liked: I am rather indifferent about it.

Disliked: The location isn't to great, but not bad either. If you can find it. Not even the Paris police knew the street it was on. Its a little over priced, and there is no wifi. The beds are tremendously uncomfortable, and there is only one key per room, which is unfortunate.

Liked: Good location

Disliked: only a microwave to cook with

14 July 2011

Liked: Absolutely NOTHING.

Disliked: The cleaning of bathrooms - everything was really dirty, everyday; staff was very rude; breakfast was ridiculous - they gave us 3 coins to use on a machine for bread and/or coffee; internet was absurdly expensive (3 euros for 30 minutes!!!); I had to climb my luggage for 5 floors WITHOUT ANY HELP.

09 July 2011

Liked: The location is quite good but that is the only positive thing about this property

Disliked: The hostel was dirty and the staff were rude. There is only one key for the room so if you do not have the whole room for your own group you are expected to deposit the key at reception whenever you go out, even though there is a sign stating a 23 euro fine if the key is lost. The breakfast was croissants and pain au chocolat out of a vending machine.

06 July 2011

Liked: It was better than the other hostel I stayed at the previous night.

Disliked: one key per room makes for a lot of headache and takes away my free-roaming ways. internet was expensive (3 euro/hr) and no wifi.

27 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very close to Gare de Lyon. Near the river. Great place to setup shop if you are trying to navigate around the city for the first time.

Disliked: Not a place to sit and hang.

25 June 2011

Liked: Fairly central location

Disliked: No lift and I was 5 floors up. Only one toilet and shower per floor - for about 40 people. Sheets cost extra. No towels. Only one key per room, so wake everyone if arriving back late. Only one recharging point per room and the one in my room was not working. Breakfast was "a vending machine breakfast" - a sad array of stale looking pastries. Bed was by far the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in, sagging and with very thin "mattress" and metal bars which press into the body . If prisons had beds like that, there would be riots...

25 June 2011

Liked: Great if using gare de lyon train station. that is it.

Disliked: Billed extra for everything

24 June 2011

Liked: I didn't die and my stuff didn't get stolen, I suppose I should be grateful...

Disliked: Staff were unhelpful, tried to tell me that my booking didnt matter because some existing guests wanted to extend their booking. Eventually they worked something out. Dirty bathrooms, tiny bedrooms, there were 3 of us in a tiny room with 2 bunk beds and a 3rd mattress hidden under the bottom bunk.. which we couldnt even pull out all the way because the room was too narrow. Very little hot water, had to wait for aaaages for it to kick in.. for 25 seconds. Free breakfast consists of 2 crossiants from a vending machine and a small cup of vending machine coffee. But, like I said, at least I didn't die and my stuff didn't get stolen.

24 June 2011

Liked: They let us keep our luggage there during the day before we checked in. It was very close to the Gare de Lyon train and metro station.

Disliked: They charge you for sheets and towels, there were dirty and stained cover sheets on the mattresses, they didn't let you drink alcohol in the hostel at all and if you get caught they kick you out, it was a bagged croissant out of the vending machine for breakfast, and there was dirty towels, sheets and someone's old clothes in our room when we arrived which they told us to just push into a corner.

23 June 2011

Liked: Nothing but the location.

Disliked: Everything else but the location. The most unfriendly staff in the world of hostels!

23 June 2011

Liked: Good location, really close to Gare du Lyon

Disliked: Cold water in the showers, really bad shower heads, It was very hard to take a shower as a woman with long hair. Internet access is not free and the room with computers closes at midnight

22 June 2011

Disliked: The staff can be rude, there are no wifi and the internet pc´s are ridicously over priced

22 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was near my arriving station

Disliked: The shower was disgusting, and the place smelled terrible. Especially the unsecured luggage room. (There is a video camera but it would be very easy for someone to just grab your bag). The smell in the luggage room will infect your bag and clothing inside.
