Reviews of Caulaincourt Square Hostel

14 July 2011

Liked: It is just a normal hostel, nothing special.

Disliked: It is located in an not-so-cheap area, so be prepared if you find the food is expensive.

14 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Disliked: Very small rooms and very small bathrooms

Liked: The location was pretty good, near the metro, so you need only 15 minutes to get to the Centre. But you need to be careful near the metro at night time - not that bad, but just in case. The rooms are renovated and comfortable. The breakfast is OK and free.

Disliked: I'm not really sure that they clean beds well after every guest, but it looks like no. They have the TV in the rooms, but it's better to make wi-fi working there because it works only in the lobby. Although I selected to check-in at 1 pm on the site, I could do it only at 3.30 pm!

Liked: Was in a very good location close to the metro. Plenty of computers with internet and Breakfast was decent. The rooms are secure and fairly clean.

Disliked: The staff are pretty Parisian. They dont have baggage storage, you chuck your bag in the main room in a pile and collect it when you want too. So not so safe. All in all I would reccomend it.

Liked: several computers with free internet, good breakfast buffet, very close to Sacre Cour and the Metro

Disliked: no lockers in the rooms, room was small and a little cramped. we arrived late and our roommates had left some of their stuff on our beds thinking that nobody would be sleeping there, and there was not much space to move stuff.

06 July 2011 Avani would recommend this property

Liked: The breakfast was amazing, it was walking distance from Sacre Coeur and it was near a metro stop.

Disliked: The guys at the desk were very unhelpful and rather rude, the bedrooms were not very pleasant and it was a pretty long way away from sites like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Arc de Triumphe

05 July 2011

Liked: The breakfast is great, and it was a nice area. Very close to metro and it really is close to the S. Coeur.

Disliked: Horrible smell in the room, staff not as friendly, huge lockout times, computers always busy, beds shake too much, walls too thin... very loud!

Liked: The breakfast area and food was good and the location was excellent

Disliked: The hostel was very dirty. Holes in the walls and stains on the walks and curtains. The floor wad filthy and there was mould everywhere in the shower. The sheets on the bed had blood on them so we slept on our towels.

Liked: The location was good, easy to reach. The hostel was comfortable with internet access and nice breakfast to start a great day!! Worth to stay and I will definitely choose this hostel again if I am back to travel in Paris!

Disliked: Many stairs before reaching the hostel, not very convenient if pulling trolley luggage but can treat it as a good form of exercise.

Liked: Hostel was really clean and safe! Great location and very close to the Metro. Rooms were very clean and comfortable.

Disliked: The 2am curfew was outrageous. Wifi wasn't the best and after 2am I wasn't allowed a wifi username and password. Also the wifi didn't work in my room. 95% of the staff was friendly however there was one staff member who was totally out of line.

28 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Free wifi but can only used it at the lobby.

Disliked: The stair to our room is to narrow, with our backpack it's not easy to get down. Pillow is too thin. If you stop at Lamarck station you need to climb crazy high stair to get to this place.

Liked: Close to the metro, clean room and bathroom, cheap and free wifi. Being a female travelling alone, I felt completely safe, especially at night time.

Disliked: The shower head was pathetic. I think it ran out of hot water cause after a minute, it didn't work and I had to wait a few minutes for it to start up again. I would definitely recommend this hostel BUT beware of the shower :)

Liked: Typical hostel experience - my friends hung out in the lobby and met a ton of other travellers that way. The rooms aren't bad and relatively clean. The staff are very good!

Disliked: It's a little far from the main tourist attractions but it's very close to a metro station so it's not that big of a deal. The only big disadvantage is that that they don't have lockers, but you can keep valuables with the front desk (they have a safe) if you wish.

Liked: All clean, new, just as it should be.

Disliked: all was good except location. actually, even location is good enough, but pay attention when in the metro at night)

18 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel is in a great area - you could not ask for a better location! The included breakfast was a nice start to the day and the staff were generally helpful and kind.

Disliked: I found the hostel quite dirty - our room and bathroom were not cleaned until my third or fourth day there. There isn't really a good common area with lots of room to meet people, although the computer area by reception was frequently busy. It seems pricey (one of the most expensive hostels I've stayed at), but then again, that's Paris for you.

Liked: Meeting people, good breakfast

Disliked: no wi-fi in the room, curfew

17 June 2011 Eva would recommend this property

Liked: The hotel was in a brilliant location only 5 minutes walk from Sacre Coeur and metro station. It was surprisingly nice and clean, I expected it to be bit more messy. We had a shower in our room, which was better than the one we have at home! And the breakfast was a great bonus, it was simple, but very nice and gave us a great boost for the day ahead.

Disliked: The room we stayed in was the smallest room in the world and the walls were quite thin so we could hear everyone passing by. There was wifi but it only worked in the lobby. Also there was a bunk bed in the room, which would be the only thing to fit and it was very uncomfortable, which is not what you want after the whole day of walking around in Paris.
