The hostel is conveniently located near Metro Line 2, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and other facilities nearby. However, the surrounding streets felt rather dirty.
The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming, but the overall stay was disappointing. During the Paris heatwave, the room’s air conditioning was very weak. My bed was not directly under the airflow, so the cool air was barely noticeable and I could not sleep at all that night.
The dorm had bunk beds, and I was assigned a top bunk. The ladder felt unsafe to climb down, especially at night, and the handrail provided for shorter guests was not sufficient.
The common areas and bathrooms had a strong vinegar-like disinfectant smell, which was unpleasant. The hostel also does not provide any toiletries, towels, or shower products, so make sure to bring everything yourself.
Overall, despite the convenient location and friendly reception staff, it was a one-time experience for me. I would not choose to stay here again, mainly because of the poor sleep quality and uncomfortable facilities.
