    bar quite loud but shouldn't be a problem if you bring a pair of earplugs, the beds are squeaky if you're on the bottom bunk

    staff very nice, the guy at the check in desk was very lovely even when leaving and coming back very late or early in the morning, shared bathroom but very clean and almost always empty so no queue to get in the toilets or shower, bed was comfy and the rooms are clean and warm, bar is very cute and they give you a welcome voucher for a free drink which is a lovely touch, close to the centre and several metro stations in close vicinity, you are able to come and go at whatever time you please, as long as you're quiet and if it's late a staff member will be there to let you in

    I had booked a women-only 8-bed dormitory but was moved to a 6-bed mixed dormitory. This didn't end up being an issue as the people in my room were lovely, but I would have liked to be informed earlier than at check-in.

    The room was quiet. The bathroom was clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

    A guest gets the impression of secret expenses which show up for the stuff that should normally be included. Like having to buy a lock for the room locker, slippers, towels, toothpaste, etc. There is only 1 toilet and 2 showers in one floor so this can create a queue and the noise isolation is bad, and no one likes to feel uncomfortable there.

    The bed was comfortable, there were enough power outlets, decent WIFI and friendly staff. The area if full of immigrants, thus foreign restaurants and shops, but still feels pretty close to the center. The atmosphere and interior is nice and there is a cafe with events at the ground floor. A welcoming drink which doesn't include a lot of drinks.

    The bar had a "local hangout" vibe which made it harder to meet other travelers--would have preferred a social space mainly for guests. There was no guest kitchen or laundry facilities, and I didn't like charging for luggage storage the day of check-in or check out. Having paid laundry facilities or offering wash and fold services for guests would be helpful so you don't have to waste time trying to find them. I had a D bed in a 6-bed dorm. The bed was basically on the floor, and I had to crawl around on the floor like an animal to get in and out of the bed. At least once, I got hit by the door while crawling out of bed because the bed is at floor level right next to the room door. The next bed overhangs the end of the bed and I stubbed my toes multiple times. There were also two straps for the curtains which were relatively narrow together, and made it harder for me to get in and out as a bigger guy (that won't be an issue for most people, but the other things certainly would). I would reject being offered this bed, and I felt a little upset as I had requested a bottom bed for accessibility and received this, which was not particularly accessible. Staff should keep that in mind if anyone requests a bottom bed and give them a bed which is a normal height Because the bed was so low, I really had nowhere to sit in the room--there were no chairs--which made it harder to pack. The room was far too small for a 6-dorm, and the lockers weren't really big enough to put a suitcase into (even carry on size) which made the room very cluttered. The heating in the rooms and public buildings was very, very high--probably upper 20s or low 30s Celsius. I could not find a thermostat or way to lower the heat in the dorm, and opening the window made the room very cold. The 5th floor men's showers smelled strongly of mold, although the showers themselves looked clean.

    The bar was fun and affordable, and the location was great--very close to Couronnes metro stop and the 96 bus which goes by most major tourist locations. There were lots of affordable food options nearby. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great music at the bar including jazz night and DJ sets.

    I did bot like the fact that to use the basement luggage room, you have to pay the machine to open and close the door of a locker for you. There are other systems in which guests can deposit a 2 euro coin to be able to use the locker, and when they bring the key back and open the locker, the deposit coin will be released (it works Mecanically- no electricity/computer involved)

    Bedroom was a bit tight on space. It was 6 bed but as only 4 in it was manageable.

    The position was good. Easily walkable to many sites, 2 metros, Gare du nord. Reasonable locker storage too, 4 euros for a day.

    The picture of entrance door did not match, in fact the entrance door opened in the bar، which caused trouble for passengers. The elevator wasn't working early every morning! At the reception has a guy with curly hair was not very interested in his job, for example, I asked him to stay one more night, he told me my bed had booked with someone else and quickly put me in another room, and he took the room fee two times expensive than before. During I was going back to the room suddenly he said made a mistake that put me in the girls' private room and canceled it and said there were not empty bed (he was very confused, he looked drunk or something like that). Also, asked him address of someplace, he acted as if he was a tourist.

    The location was good! The people at the reception have a good attitude, having a few good-natured ladies and a person named Christine (if I have said his name correctly) is very polite, kind and helpful.

    Very uncomfortable beds, even if there is a lower bed, you need to make an effort to climb onto it, not to mention the beds that are higher. I would like to drink hot coffee for breakfast, which you buy extra, and not cold coffee.

    The room although nice it was a bit small but it was ok. The room was cleaned everyday but during my stay the sheets were not changed. Only changed when another person a new customer was coming. Breakfast as i said was ok although small for the price. I was expecting more variety for the XL breakfast. During my stay someone from the room stole my bottles of shampoo, body shower gel and hair gel but the reception was kind and she offered to give me something similar from the lost and found.

    I liked very much the location, it was near the metro with easy access to the centre. The room was quite nice on the last floor with great view. Breakfast was ok although i was expecting more variety. The area downstairs was cozy and warm with special events some nights. The staff was nice. Special thanks to the receptionist who was late at night at the reception, i think his name was Gabie, who helped me before my trip to find the easiest way to get to the airport.🙂

    I was disappointed that there was no kitchen, I asked to put a container in the fridge overnight and they refused. There’s also no shower products in the bathroom. The rooms are quite cramped and small. The bottom bunk bed was oddly high because the lockers were right underneath my bed (not all bottom bunks are designed this way though). It was a bit uncomfortable to get on and off of my bed. The light in the room is terrible, after sunset even when you turn the light on you can barely see anything.

    The mattresses were really comfortable and the bathrooms were very nice and clean. The water pressure in the showers were great and there is a hairdryer in the bathroom too. They also give you a towel for free. It’s great that the hostel in only a few minutes walk from the metro and they also give you a few local places that are good to visit (e.g. bakeries).
