Liked: There were showers inside the rooms.The staff was helpfull.The bad things about this hostels are: The street is not really safe. People are constantly geting robbed outside the hostelThere is only one key per room so you have to bother people to get in.They don't give or rent towelsThey say there'sno corfew but they close the kitchen and the common area at midnight, so you have no other choice but go to your room.

Liked: Das Hostel ist ziemlich basic eingerichtet, aber sehr sehr sauber! Für 15 €/Nacht kann man sich nicht beschweren. Vom Gare de Nord, wo der Airport Express ankommt, sind es 5 - 10 min zu Fuß zum Hostel.Das einzige Manko am Hostel, es gibt pro Zimmer nur einen Schlüßel. Der letzte aus dem Zimmer gibt ihn an der Reception ab.

Viktor Varga

28 April 2010 Viktor would recommend this property

Liked: The location is quite bad, it looks like a getho at night but it's like 15metres to the metro station, so not a big problem. The hostel itself is good, for that price in Paris you won't find anything better I think.

22 April 2010

Liked: Extremely basical hostel. Doesn't have WIFI internet, breakfast or individual lockers and there is only one key per room. Bedrooms, kitchen and living room are TOO small. And the worst of all, the neighborhood seems dangerous. It is not a place you would like to walk at night. Also it is a bit far from the city center. The only positive point is that it is very very close to the metro station.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: This hostel is located in a sketchy area of Paris, but it is right by the Barbes-Rochechouart metro stop, so that was convenient. I don't recommend it to girls staying alone, but for groups, sure. Also--no lockers are provided in the rooms or elsewhere.
