Reviews of Caulaincourt Square Hostel

11 December 2011

Liked: Nothing actually.

Disliked: I can't compare with other hostels in Paris, but it's the worst hostel I've ever been to. First, they tell the guests to leave rooms for cleaning time, but rooms are so dirty, like nobody ever cleaned it. Linens look yellow-grey. Better take linens with you. Just disgusting. Kitchen is so small for such a big hostel, and so dirty and stinky. Second, "impolite" is not the right word for the hostel staff. They are just EXTREMELY RUDE. I was really disappointed with their attitude to people.

14 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I loved the decorations and the welcoming atmosphere. The hostel has a real nice feel and the place is clean - cheap too! There is Wi-Fi in the lobby (Hooray!). The only thing better is if it would be in the rooms. I met lots of people here at the hostel and we ended up traveling around Paris together.

Disliked: No Wi-fi in the bedrooms. Also, even though it's close to the Sacre Coeur, it's on the other side of the hill, facing away from Paris. It's also a ways out from central Paris, but the metro line (line 12) is nearby so it's not too much of a problem.

Liked: The breakfast was great. Loved the computers in the lounge.The metro was only a 5 min walk so that was really handy. The Dinning room was nicely done. Overall it was good value for money

Disliked: It was a bit stink that didn't get wireless in the rooms, only upstairs. The bathroom was really small and in the rooms there was no where to put anything just all on the floor but there was one table shared between 4 girls so didn't use as much

Liked: The location is good-right on the Montmartre hill, few minutes walk from the metro station, 5min away from Sacre Coeur. The staff was friendly, the rooms were decent. It was 4 of us travelling and I booked a 6 person room, but they put us in a room for 4, with no extra cost. The breakfast was very good. Definitely a money's worth.

Disliked: Nothing special really...

12 November 2011

Liked: Clean, good breakfast, my room had only 4 beds and a nice wc-shower. Area with lots of bars, boulangeries, patisseries etc.

Disliked: 1st" wifi access only in the reception(5chairs, the others on the floor), 2d reception (with the wifi) and door of the hostel closed at 2am. I mean, i'm not a kid to send me to my room by 2am. 3d, too small rooms, almost asphyxiating, 4th indifferent stuff, almost rude. Personally, i had a really scary incident due to another client of the hostel during the night and nobody cared.. HOSTEL moments in caulaincourt.

11 November 2011 Carolina Yael would recommend this property

Liked: El hostel es muy lindo y está bien ubicado para quienes quieran establecerse en el barrio de Montmartre. Está a pocos metros de la salida del metro, por lo que tiene fácil acceso. El staff, siempre amigable y colaborador. Mucha tranquilidad en la noche, se podría dormir perfectamente.

Disliked: Las habitaciones no las limpian mientras estás establecido allí, de hecho se olvidaban de poner papel higiénico en los baños y había que reclamarlo. La cocina, muy poco higiénica, muy chica y no tenía utensillos para comer, sólo un tenedor, un vaso, y un cuchillo. Se complicaba cocinar ahí.

Liked: Great location, it feels like a good hotel was converted into a great hostel, provided Breakfast is always nice, right next to a Metro station

Liked: the rooms were comfy and the room i had pretty views of montmare. the hostel had great decor and the breakfast was great, but i love croissants. the bathrooms were small but the is typical Paris. the staff spoke English and were nice, even attempted to teach me some french to help them out for next time. It was a great stay i had in Paris. and i felt very safe in the hostel.

31 October 2011

Liked: There was a free breakfast (breads, cereals, and orange juice or coffee), there was also free Internet and computers available. SOME of the staff is really helpful and nice, where as the other half is rude and doesn't pay much attention. The hostel is in a nice part of town (10 min walk to the Moulin Rouge), and pretty close to the Metro.

Disliked: When we first got to the Hotel/Hostel we checked our bed for bed bugs, and the mattress was black and we found a couple of bugs. We told the Hostel guy who gave us a new room but was kind of a pain about it. He said that we didn't pay for a two sermon room, which we did, and when I went to show him my reservation he wouldn't look. So he made it look like he did us a huge favor by giving us a private room which is what we payed for. The Internet only works in the main room so you have to sit with loads of people to use it.
