This was my first time staying in a hostel and it was very comfortable. The individual lights on the beds and the net to put your personal stuff in is a very nice touch. The people in the reception were always very helpful and friendly. There's a metro 10-15 mins walk but not the safest up north, there's a bus station right in front of the hostel which i used a lot. As a solo woman traveler, it was a great experience.

Boasting a restaurant, a bar as well as a shared lounge, JO&JOE Paris - Nation is situated in the 20th district of Paris, close to the famous Père Lachaise cimetery. This property also provides guests with a 100m² rooftop open to all with a large choice of drinks and cocktails. The accommodation features evening Entertainment, lot of events and live concerts.

The hostel offers a continental breakfast with à la carte options.

This hostel offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. Its location just behind the train station is particularly advantageous, especially for those with heavy luggage. However, I would recommend leaving unnecessary belongings in lockers available at the main station, as the train station itself has numerous stairs and lacks elevators. There is a supermarket beside the train station as well, which adding value to this place. The hostel's lobby provides a relaxing area to socialize with fellow guests or work. The staff members are cheerful, kind, and always responsive to any inquiries. The check-in process was swift, even though we arrived a bit early, they still accommodated us and allowed us into the room. They also offer private lockers downstairs at a reasonable cost (around 2 euros) for those with early arrivals or late departures. The rooms are spacious, and they also provide a female dormitory option. The bathroom facilities are sufficient for all guests and conveniently located next to our room. They also supply shower gel and shampoo for guests' convenience.

    Good location close to Père Lachaise cemetery. Easy to reach by subway. The neighborhood looks a bit gloomy by night in the middle of the winter but the room and its facilities are great. The staff is very friendly and the breafast is wonderful. The place feels like a vintage youth hostel and is totlly unlike many contemporary hostel run to maximize profit. It was just perfect for a one night stay when you travel alone for work and on a tight budget. It's also great for families and even dog friendly.

    The hostel is a fantastic budget option for Paris. While nothing is cheap or in the city the hostel is a more affordable option. I stayed in the female dorm which was clean at most times, but more importantly quiet and private. The dorms are very clean and built to have privacy and safety. One of my best hostel experiences while travelling not as a backpacker but as part of a city trip.
