Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    -Fantastic experience here! I travelled as a solo female and felt very safe and comfortable here. -Rooms were really large for a hostel. The bunk beds were all on one side so it felt nice and private. -Sheets were clean but the bottom sheet is laid on top not tucked in.. -Beds and pillows were comfy. -Can get a towel for a 10 euro deposit. -Service was friendly but a little slow. -Shower pressure and temp are great.

    Cheap and clean, good location and helpful staff. Unlike in most hostels, the beds were single beds and no bunk beds. It’s super nice that you don’t have to climb up shaking the entire complex when coming back later at night as your roommate. The street was very noisy and loud in the evening but at night when I came back it was extremely quiet and peaceful already, so it didn’t disturb your sleep.

    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.
