Liked: The place was clean, within a walking distance to Gar Du Nord station, and the Sacre Coure which facilitates commuting between the airport and the hotel, and you can hang around late during night in the sacre coure area. Hot water all the day unlike other hostels in paris, and wifi internet for free for 3 hours in case you have ur laptop.

Disliked: There were three english speaking girls complaining about losing money from their rooms, and it wasn't taken seriously from the hotel management. There is no lockers to leave your bags in, however there was a storage room, and you can leave the laptops in the reception, however they just leave it on the ground behind the reception counter. The check in is 4.00 PM, I arrived at 11.00AM and they just let me in at 3.00PM. They gave me clean bed sheets to put it on the bed by myself.

Liked: Staff were incredable!!!! So kind and helpful, location was lovely, perfect to walk up to the sacred heart and have a bottle of wine on the grass. Very relaxing vibe in a busy busy city. If I ever visit Paris again even when Im not a broke student I would stay there.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: The 4 bunk bed ensuit room I stayed at was pretty big and clean. Liked the breakfast (2 types of cereals, 2 types of breads, 2 types of juices, coffee, hot milk, etc). Location wise it's close to one of the train stations that has trains to go directly to the CDG airport, so it was convenient to not have to transfer in Metro (Paris Metro sucks!), though you will you have to walk about 8 minute in an area that doesn't look too safe at night, so be advised.

Disliked: Internet has a 2 hr restriction..which's annoying! Once your 2 hour is up, you are allowed to go to the front desk to get another set of log in account and password and no staff has ever said anything, but it was just annoying to have to worry about internet being timed-out. Don't think there was any organized event. Area might not be the safest-looking, although i don't think it's unsafe.

Liked: The front desk gentlemen was very nice and helpful! The complementary breakfast was good (croissants, bread, jam and butter, cereal, juice, coffee and tea. The lounge area was cute and welcoming. The hostel is walking distance from the train station (Gard Du Nord) and walking distance to the metro. They have a microwave you can use till 10pm and a fridge you can store your food in. Check out is at 11am, but they offer this wonderful service that allows you to leave your bags/luggage in a locked safe room (where only the front desk workers have the key) for you to come and pick up at the end of the day:)

Disliked: I've seen other complaints on the website that says its dirty and well....it is a hostel. Sure, it is always a good thing for hostels to be cleaner, but I thought it was fine considering there are worse places.

25 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good ensuite room, confortable bed, free wifi, quick check in. Easy access to the airport but still in the city, surrounded by lots of restaurants, bars and supermarkets.

Disliked: Besides the lobby area with some tables, it lacks a common room to meet people like a TV room with sofas. Also not allowed to bring alcohol which is very unfriendly.

24 March 2011

Liked: Staff helpful and friendly.

Disliked: The room could use some cleaning. The bathroom had mold in it and I'm allergic to mold so miserable stay. It was very scary walking from Gare Du Nord at night to the hostel but since it was promoted and being close I walked but would not recommend to those traveling alone.

08 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was very helpful and accommodated all of our requests. Also, it is very close to the Anvers metro station and only a 10-15 minute walk to the Gare du Nord station, which was very convenient. It is also very close to the Sacre Coeur, which is a beautiful landmark. Our first roommate was kinda smelly but nice, and the rest of our roommates that were placed with us during our stay were also very friendly. I felt very safe in this hostel.

Disliked: There was a lot of mold in our room. We had seen a few comments posted about mold in the rooms, but this was really bad. We alerted the staff to it and the next day it was gone (they had the cleaning staff take care of it) but it was not a very good first impression. The shower curtain leaked and there were only two outlets in the room, both on one side of the room and one was halfway to the ceiling. Also, there were no lock boxes in the rooms.

08 March 2011 Dimitra would recommend this property

Liked: breakfast was great and free, the location was very close to 2 train stations you've got the RER, and lines 2,4 and 5 of the metro, the atmosphere of the place was really nice and the people who worked there were friendly and helpful. was not loud.

Disliked: wifi was aggravating slow turned off and on, made me want to chuck my computer at the front desk BUT it was free even though you can only get it in the lobby. bathroom in our room whenever you flushed the toilet water would leak but other than this stuff, pleasant stay at this hostel. :) loved paris...

08 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was really close to Gare du Nord, so easily accessible from the CDG airport. The staff was really nice and helpful and they spoke good English. The bathroom was spacious and hostel was rather calm and quiet. So if you don't have problems with an OLD buildings, it's a nice place to stay for a few days.

Disliked: The room was really dusty, so for a person with a running nose it was nearly impossible to sleep. Also, the bathroom had suffered of some serious moist problems.. The breakfast wasn't special in any ways: some dry bread and no cheese or meat to put on top of it, but the croissants were delicious.

Liked: The staff were nice and helpful. Good location and facilities for what I needed.

Disliked: The shower was really great, but small, so water leaked everywhere. Would be nice if breakfast ran until 10am.

Disliked: It was not exactly a party location, you weren't allowed to drink in the common rooms, but that was alright.

06 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: the staff was extremely friendly and helpful in terms of directing you around the city. i felt that myself and my belongings were secure in my room and free breakfast is always a plus. the hostel is more than a block away from Gare du Nord but its only a few minutes from two metro stations that can take you all around the city.

Disliked: the room was a little small for 4 people but that's it.
