This hostel was very fun. I suppose it is mostly in part to the great people staying here, but the atmosphere encourages socializing. The rooms also felt fairly safe. The location is prime. It is near a Boulanger, supermarket, and Laundromat and Internet café. Also the Sacre Couer is about a 10-minute walk away. The kitchen is small, but very nice to have, and the courtyard is awesome. The lockout and curfew can be annoying, but generally aren’t a problem and they are pretty lenient about it. The showers are pretty gross too, and usually there was a line up to get in, but otherwise this was an awesome hostel, and I definitely recommend it.

This was the first of many hostels I stayed at in Europe and I must say it was one of the best. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is prime. The hostel had a very laid back, easy-going atmosphere and was not too expensive. The courtyard is small, but festive and the free breakfast bread and coffe was nice. Thumbs up.

Well, its a pretty cozy set up, but honestly it seems like the employees hate backpackers. I guess it's a cool place to meet people. But the breakfast in the morning... don't be fooled. It's just bread and jam with some really bad coffee that tastes like reheated coffee fom the previous day. The kitchen too is totally not sanitary, but hey, it's a hostel. The location kinda sucks. The only thing close is Montmartre and that can get boring after a while. If you wanna get anywhere you gotta take the metro and make like 1 to 3 transfers. So all in all, I would say the least flattering thing about it is definetly the location. Would I return? Nope. It's one of the cheapest places to stay in Paris, and I can see why.

Fabulous location--easy access to metro and everything you want to see. Friendly & helpful staff. Great courtyard area where you can hang out and talk story with other travelers. Fun vibe. Not too loud--just bring earplugs and an eye mask. Fairly clean...great little breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. Montmartre is the most wonderful area in Paris! Fifteen minute walk up the hill to the gorgeous Sacre Coeur--in the evenings you can walk up there and sit on the steps with both locals and travelers--listen to music & drink cheap wine as you look out over Paris. Beautiful!

Except for the curfew & lockout (which when you stay long enough and get to know reception, they are really cool about) this place was one of my fav hostels in Europe. Small place w/ small rooms. Showers a bit dodgy w/ that timer bit, but otherwise the place rocked. Right in Montmartre and close to Anvers Metro and Gare de Nord. Fresh baguettes at breaky and cheap beer at the "bar" (aka fridge behind reception). Highly recommended.
