The hostel was quite clean, well-organized and it had a friendly
atmosphere.
-We booked via fax and when we arrived a very kind girl gave us all the
information we needed: fares, rules of the hostel, possibility of leaving
our baggage in the luggage room and our valuable things in the safe (for
free); she also let us see the room, even thought it was lock-out time.
-The area of the hostel was very quiet and safe and it also had a lot of
facilities around: supermarket, backer's shop, laundry and internet point
(which was in the hostel too) I just advise you against the pizza shop in
front of the hostel: we're Italian and we ate the worst pizza of our lives
for 10 Euro (they put brie instead of mozzarella I think).
-The two metro stops are not too near (especially when you're carrying a 20
kg-bag) but there is also a bus stop closer where two buses pass
by.
-The room was clean, the hostel gave us a double bed as we asked, the only
problem was that the bathroom had no window. We didn't find the room noisy,
although it faced the street.
-Breakfast was not very various but baguettes were really good, jam was ok
and there were plenty of drinks: coffee, tea, milk, orange juice and
chocolate (which finished very early during weekends, because it was
delicious!) and the guy who prepared it was very kind and willing to help.
We never used the kitchen but it seemed clean although it was very small.
The only thing we didn't like was the elevator for it had a horrible violet
nap which made it seem smaller!
We enjoyed our stay a lot and we wish to come back if we'll return to Paris.
