Way better than we expected, especially after having read several reviews we then figured out to be untrue. The only real thing that was not that good looking is the borough though: definetly not the people you want to have around you when on vacations to be honest. Talking about all the rest, I've personally found the Hostel is a... More

Aside from it being right beside a metro station, there's really nothing positive about this hostel. It's gross, the staff wasn't very friendly and didn't speak english very well at all. Their "safe" was basically just a closet with little to no security. The cleaning guy just wasn't good at his job. The bathrooms were small and dirty and always... More

The neighborhood is really unpleasant: drug dealers, strange guys hanging around always trying to sell us smt, however they weren't agressive (we were walking in a group only). Location is great - metro station across the street. Staff was quite friendly too. Room: dirty walls, shower in a room was broken, however beds are pretty comfortable. We didn't use kitchen,... More

FRIENDS hostel is the most afwul, disgusting hostel you can imagine!!!! This for the following reasons: 1. The hostel is located in a very bad, dangerous neighbourhood. We saw a lot of drugdealing during day and nighttime. 2. The hostel is not hygienic at all!!!! The walls of our room were full of mold (see attachment); the matresses were covered... More

Do not stay here. Upon entering the crowded hostel lobby, our group of 5 was given 1 key and our knapsacks were thrown into a ghetto storage room. The different coloured neon walls are a poor attempt at making the place seem friendly. The room we stayed in consisted of bunk beds with missing rungs and messed sheets with hair.... More

If you are looking for a hostel in Paris on a budget, do not even consider this place. Why? Allow me to explain. -Upon arriving and as one of the first of my group (a group of 8) I immediately learned that there was only 1 key for every room. The guy at the front desk also encouraged me to... More

Don't go there. It's in a dodgy neighborhood, and there are constantly dodgy looking guys outside. I stayed here with a group for a few days and on our last night we actually decided to leave, lose our money and find a cleaner, friendlier hostel. The entire place is dirty, the kitchen was so disgusting that wouldn't have even considered... More

Dear travellers. If you are reading this, and have in mind to stay in this hostel, go away. I've been in Paris in feb 2013 and we found this hostel as the cheaper of hostelworld. Bad idea. I've read others reviews here and didn't give trouble, but maan! For start: the localization. Near from a metro station, but the area... More

By far the worst place I ever stayed in. It's in a dismal neighbourhood with a large crowd of dodgy looking guys constantly outside the hostel. The dorm we booked into was a garage/shed type building at the rear of the courtyard/common area. The smell when we opened the door was putrid. The bathroom was miniscule and filthy. We made... More
