SCAM - It's a proper scam! A place to avoid fully. Pure lie and lack of ethics. Pictures and descriptions during the booking don't match at all what you discover when you arrive. They're currently doing some work inside the building, with no consideration for guests, including dust, noise, and hazards everywhere, with no care for customers' well-being. Therefore, no kitchen or workspace. No baggage/ luggage service [reception opening only after 1pm]. No linen provided [only a disgusting blanket the client has to put directly on the skin]. No lockers for your belongings. No Heating. And the list is going on and on. I had to wait Hours from 7am to be able to check in and had to check out right after witnessing such ineptitude. Still waiting for my refund after a week and proper compensation. No response from the property who showed full dishonest behaviour. Once again place to avoid as they just want to make money without providing any service.

Nothing!
This was the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. When we arrived after around midnight, I discovered that my bed was already occupied. Instead of offering us another room, the receptionist started waking up a guest and asking him to move to a different room. That guest refused, and we had to stand in the hallway watching the whole situation unfold. It was very unpleasant to witness such a conflict in the middle of the night.
When we asked for another room, the administrator told us that everything was fully booked. However, in the morning we met other guests from different rooms, and several rooms were actually only half occupied.
On top of that, the bathroom was dirty and there was no soap available.
I strongly advise everyone to avoid this hostel. It is much better to pay an extra 20 euros and stay in a proper hotel. The administrator will not help you; even worse, he may wake you up at night and tell you to move to another room. This shows complete disrespect toward guests. He will ignore your requests and will not offer you another bed even if there are free places available.

Close to Crimée métro, but this is a long way from city centre. Very close to large Monoprix supermarket. They kindly gave us top sheets for our bed. Light and phone port at bed were good.
It was all somewhat dirty, and the room was dirty and smelled of stale sweat and near the bathroom it smelled of urine. Having to pay 7 euros for use of 2 towels. The other 2 roommates were always sleeping and uncommunicative. The toilet lid was broken and very sharp on one side.

for the price is pretty good, the location is next to a metro and walkable to other sites.
the room was really tiny but i was alright, usually you spend toy day outside. the bathroom was decent and clean.

Fair and relatively clean. I was lucky and had quiet and decent cohabitants. The shower worked well. I liked the neighborhood in Crimée. Many restaurants and Aldi and Lidl near by.
The room is reduced to the absolute minimum including a small locker and underneath the bed. Very modest and simple but good value for money.

The kitchen does not have enough Plates, spoons, forks and cups.
the reception is only open 9 hours a day.
the location is far from the famous tourist places.
the bathroom tissues were of very poor quality

Bed was comfortable and they clean everyday. Toilet is clean. They provide you with body soap only, although I used mine. Carry a shampoo if you need. Most importantly it is close to Métro (M7). Internet speed of the WiFi is excellent.
People in the desk are often absent. If you come early in the morning then it will be troublesome. I recommend to keep your luggage using Bounce app and travel around. At 3 pm only you can check in.

close to metro and grocery store. they have elevator.
bathroom floor was dirty and wet. soap and shampoo dispensers were empty and there only was a soap with pubic hair on it available in the shower.
The in room storage was too small for my small carry on. there was no sign in the bathroom explaining common sense rules for people without common sense. roommate left wet towel on the coat hanger both days, so I had no space for my cloths durinng shower. and he didnt have anywhere else to hang his towel like many other hostels. key card needed to be activated everyday by noon, but it was not mentioned during check-in. the blanket on my bed had a large white stain,
I'm not sure if it was washed after previous traveller. website pictures dont match the room.

I like everything about this hostel. My room has 4 beds with a window overlooking the street. Each bed has a universal socket (which may fit every kind of plug, but still bring your adapter), a reading light, and CURTAINS. Air conditioner is on all day and the room was cleaned daily. The bathroom is inside the room.
It is near bus 54 and Crimme metro station. There are many food stores nearby (Phở, sushi, pizza, etc,.) and supermarkets.
Maybe the broken reading light in the bed and we need to activate the key card every day after 12:00. This is not the thing that I did not like, but people may wanna know.
The kitchen is equipped with full utilities but nothing works except the fridge and microwave.

Mattress comfortable. Well located next to Crimée métro stop and 54 bus.
Was a bit disappointed with facilities, no bar and apparently a kitchen but didn't see one. Bathroom was very basic with no provided soap although it was cleaned daily.
Was very warm so had to have window open but the street is loud, so sleep was somewhat disturbed. For the price though, it was good.

My brother called me and he left the place immediately.
Was smelly, not safe, dirty and he was offered to pay extra 12 euros to put his backpack in a safe storage room.
I requested a refund, and I never got an answer, he didn't sleep there, he left the first night.
Awful experience.

It was easy enough to get around from here. Near to several busses and trains. It was quiet and there were restaurants, bakeries and such nearby. If I were just sleeping there, it would have been fine.
It was dirty. The hallways had stuff like old mattresses in them. The kitchen was unclean and had limited dishes, etc. You had to pay for a towel and had to stop to have your key card reconnected every day. It was one of the less expensive options so I guess you get what you pay for!

We knew what to expect in terms of location so found this acceptable for the price. The building from outside looked clean and refurbished, welcoming.
It was a very disappointing experience. The place was very dirty and the state of capets in the communal areas and room was appalling. I was horrified.

Quite a few issues here. I booked back in feb and had breakfast included in my booking, yet was repeatedly told I didn’t and they had stopped offering it for hostel guests. Had to argue to get what I booked. Bunk beds are not adult sized, had to fold myself in. Location is about a 30min walk from gare du nord. Metro is close by. They have a 2am curfew where they will lock you out until 5.30am if you aren’t back. Went out to watch the rugby and had a few to celebrate afterwards. Ended up having to sprint back across town to get in. This strikes me as wrong, if you pay to stay at a property your access should not be controlled/limited to certain hours.

Lift access and bottom bunk bed confirmed which is great for disabled travelers. Lovely staff.
The room is extremely cramped and clearly didn’t get cleaned at all in 4 days. There is no room for luggage so when people put it on the floor you can’t move.

Curtains for privacy across your bed
Bath rooms are needing a refresh. They are old and no ventilation.

The location is not that bad since you have the metro in 2 minutes walk, or even less. The room is nothing that special, but for 20€ a night is okay. The matress is quite comfortable actually. There is a locker room were you can leave your bagage with no cost. The thing is that everyone in the hostel can access it very easily since it's one code for a room. Relationship between cost and quality in relatively good, especially when your looking for something cheap.
We felt safe in the hostel. Keep in mind that there is a curfew between 2 am and 5:30am, but the is a security gard and if needed he can open the door for you. This is just a security check that they have. Anyways it's better to warn if your gonna be in the hostel late, so that he can count on that. You have a card to access the room that has to be activated every day on the reception.
In 3 nights that was our stay, I think they didn't even come once to clean the room. The bathroom was a mess with hairs all over the floor. Keep in mind that the towels are not free (cost 3,5€). There were no loockers in our room so we had to leave our bagages in the room with no protection. The room seemed much smaller than in the pictures. There was little space for 4 people to move around the room. Everyone had to wait for the other person to get ready and leave, so another could do something. The room was very hot so we had to keep the windows open since the is not air conditioner.
The elevator was very slow and tiny.
The place were you eat breakfast is kinda weird because its in a cave, tiny and not very pleasant.
This is not an hostel to meet people, but a hostel to spend a cheap night in Paris.

Everything!!! To begin with, location is fab; 1 min walk from the metro. Almost each and every thing was within walking distance. The entire area was filled with different restaurants giving lots of options to try something new.
About the stay based on my personal experience, the staffs were very friendly and helpful. Things were quite systematic. I arrived at 7 am, could Keep my luggage in the common locker room and go out. They give a light breakfast like tea/coffee toast butter jam ( not mentioned during the booking), it was a good surprise. About sharing the bathrooms (I am not personally comfortable) but it was pretty clean, they clean every day. Mine was a room of 4 beds and bathroom inside the room. Everything was spacious, well maintained.
Overall, not advertising😅, I'd love to stay here again next time.
Nothing to be honest. Everything was lovely.

It's close to the subway and has an elevator.
The staff is not friendly, they don't explain enough about the room (it was summer and they didn't tell us about how the ac worked until i had to ask them), the breakfast is terrible and in a very strange place. The bathroom really tiny.

The hotel was in the middle of construction and we found bugs in the downstairs bathroom. Seems strange they didn't close during the renovation. Also our last night, we woke up to shouting in another room and the staff was slow to respond. Great price, though not a good experience.
