A well run, well maintained, and clean property. For those who are party minded, it is truly top-notch: a spacious lobby and entertainment area with food, drink, scheduled activities, and live music at times. That said, it is no problem for those who are not party minded as the insulation is excellent and it’s plenty quiet for sleeping (except as noted below).

I booked a private room, which I knew would be small but had no idea would be that small - it was closer to a pod-like space. Also, the ventilation was poor so to stay cool at night, you have to open a slider panel into a small hallway that lets in light and noise. I wound up leaving the property early and forfeiting my payment for the additional nights because of this. I do not blame the property; just a notice to others who should consider this before booking there.

My stay at this hostel was quite literally perfect. I stayed for 4 nights as part of a conference I attended. For starters, the semi-private bunk bed rooms were great value for money. The hostel is also next to a train station and is well served by buses even at night. I felt safe at the hostel and everything was clean. There were a row of restaurants and fast food outlets next to the hostel, which meant that I could get a cheap meal there if I wanted to. Otherwise, there is a bar and restaurant in the lobby. Special shout out to the Irish member of staff working behind the bar who was incredibly friendly and willing to chat.

The best hostel I have ever been to in Paris, and possibly everywhere. Amazing decoration, design, common rooms, etc. Everything is well thought. I am honestly in awe. It looks like whoever created this hostel knew what they were doing, and put great love and care into it. The cabins are comfortable. They are mostly quiet and very dark. I would stay there again and have already proposed the hostel to friends.

I'd like some hair dryers in the common bathrooms area, as well as tissues. I know that in France they tend to avoid tissues/kitchen paper for sustainability reasons, but they make cleaning up after oneself easier , e.g. mopping the water around the sinks or the kitchen. It would be helpful in such a setting. Apart from that, I am very satisfied.

Location is a big PLUS. Only 2-3min walk to Gentilly RER train! Hostel has everything you need, and was clean and well thought out for guests. Plenty of space for socializing, and good eating options outside door of location. I had a cabin room, so it was nice having my own space. Bathrooms were plenty for guests to use, never worried about waiting! Staff keep hostel looking clean. The creative nature of building is an added touch! Last thing, there is a private room to store suitcases/backpacks if you need to leave belongings, only $4 Euros for 24 hour locker, great to have.

My ONLY complaint is that fellow guests were extremely rude when opening/closing their doors. Obviously, that is not the hostel's fault, but I recommend they post signs so guests do not disturb fellow travelers. Maybe remind guests as well when checking in. Oh, the cabins could use a small fan in it when temps get hot, not very good good circulation.

The property was big and clean. The outdoor area was large and they had a big screen up to play the Olympics which was great. The cabin beds in the hostel were a good size (like a double bed) and I loved the privacy the extra space gave me to spread my things out without others in the hostel seeing. Plenty of hooks to hang things up to dry. The cabin had a small sliding window which could be opened during the night if it got warm. The aircon in the dorm was great, nice and cold!

The bed was a foam material which was a bit uncomfortable at times. As much as I loved the privacy of the cabins I found that they took away a lot more of the natural and random interactions you have with your room mates. I was super busy so it wasn’t a big issue but if I wasn’t as busy I would have found it more of a struggle. Also the place is a little out of the way. There is a metro stop but not all trains stop there. If you get on the wrong train all you can do is stop at the station before or after and if before you have to walk through the university grounds to reach it.

Close to metro train tirect to Paris and all metros. Great food and chef. Lovely staff. Secure key system. 24/7 reception. Lift. Clean with hot showers. Clean bedding and bed. Allowed to sleep in late. Polite cleaning staff. Kitchen to use was very useful. Big windows, great views of Paris and they where open too. Very nice Security guard On a nighy and day bus route. Outdoor area is great. I felt relaxed there. Nice

No air conditioning in cabin so was stuffy and hot had to leave door open to sleep. Cockroaches in kitchen near sink. Possible bed bugs due to a couple of bites after sleeping. Would have liked more low chairs because I could not sit on the furnature as it was too high. The furnature outside was nice though.

I liked the space in the room, the general decoration and the friendly staff. I stayed in a mixed dorm and the beds are well separated, there is curtains for privacy, light and sockets in each bed. The bathroom was very clean.

It's a hostel for young people, teenagers in excursions, and university students. There is a bar just in the main entrance, which I don't have anything against, but it was just not my profile of hostel. Kitchen was a little dirty, but I guess people just don't have manners... nothing related to the hostel itself, just with the public that you will find. :)

The best hostel shower I had in France. There's space to put stuff and a mirror and sink in the same booth The room was good too. Make your own bed. Multiple power outlets USB and plug. A few sacks to put things in bedside. Mirror and a few hooks.Double bed. Keycard entry. Tiny window with lock. It does get kind of stuffy at night of you leave it closed. Location is has pretty much nothing nearby. A few kebab esque shops and other restaurants. Pretty much only good for if you plan to take the RER B later. The downstairs bar/restaurant is a nice vibe. They screened football, there's charging outlets, 5€ beers. Efficient staff

Not really the fault of the hostel. Just know why you pick this place don't expect much around the local area. Otherwise nothing really....a slight buzzing noise in the room...Not supposed to bring outside food in...

My short stay here was great. I liked the option of choosing a private cabin room! The hostel was located in a neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, walking distance, and 2 huge parks to walk around. The breakfast was great, and the staff was accommodating. The 24-hour access to the 4 euro lockers to store your luggage is a plus!

I did not like the description of the hostel of not mentioning anything about brining your own towels. But, I guess this is implied as it is a hostel.

Pretty good hostel, with a nice atmosphere. Beds are good and with a curtain, which I always try to search for (give more privacy when you are in a 10-12 beds shared room). RER station right besides.

The only problem, but that's Paris, is that the main transportation is RER. RER is always crowded (much more than the Metros) and it don't run 24h (last one is around 0h-1am). This can be a problem if you want to go out in Paris during the night. But for tourism during the day, it works very well. There are some night buses around, but it is not the easier thing to get/find.
