Reviews of Young and Happy Hostel

02 March 2011

Liked: good location, on a street with lots of good restaurants and bars, easy to get to and from places thanks to the metro stop 2 mins walk away

Disliked: value for money was poor and not many toilet/shower facilities per person

13 February 2011

Liked: Pretty central location.

Disliked: Noisy outside due to construction.

09 February 2011

Liked: Location only. Everything else was poor. Dirty and old bathrooms, smelly mixed room, rubbish kitchen facilities (two hot plates between 28 bedrooms, no oven, tiny fridge). Infruriatingly slow internet.

Disliked: most things

Liked: I loved the location and the atmosphere. Met some great people here.

Disliked: It was pretty dirty in the bathrooms and kind of pricy for a hostel but overall a nice stay. No lockers, which made me feel a little unsafe at times, but you can check valuable items at the front desk.

Liked: The location was great, in a nice area close to transport and sites as well as to good and cheap food. Even the included breakfast was quite nice.

Disliked: There are not enough bathrooms for everyone and you have to go either up or down two flights of stairs because all the toilets are one the middle floor. The internet is not included and it is expensive, one euro for half an hour. But you dont really get half an hour because it takes a while for the computer or device to notice that the internet is no longer being used and it doesnt log you out straight away which uses up your minutes. There was rubbish in the room, piled up on the two desks, just things that people have left behind, but it made the room cramped and no one could use the tables. The cleaners should put them into a lost property box or something.

Liked: The atmosphere and friendliness of the staff and it´s location

Disliked: The size of the room. You couldn´t open the door completely because it would hit the bed. I asked for some sheets for the bed and they didn´t fit.

Liked: The location was good

Disliked: The rooms and bathrooms were dirty; no toillets in the room...sometimes, no hot water in the shower

08 January 2011

Liked: location close to metro, supermarket and snake shop, but not to any attraction.

Disliked: crazy water in bathroom, never gets hot enough. wierd stairs, plain breakfast. kicking you out of the room everyday by 11 a.m.(not so nice if you went to bed late) "ensuit" means only a toilet in a incrediblly tiny area of the room, the shower is located on the floor of the other side of stairs. the room was freezing, the window was too old to be properly closed and the heat never work. the kitchen facility was not sufficient to cook anything.

Liked: Good atmosphere, friendly staff and clean facilities. And they served beer in reception. That for me is a big plus point.

Disliked: The Latin Quarter is perhaps not the interesting area of Paris it once was. But it's close enough to walk to more happening neighbourhoods.
