Location, rooms, terrace

The staff was closing the entry to rooftop terrace in the evening although the people was still there, so people could no longer get it but the people that were already there could stay. During my stay 2 out of 4 showers in the bathroom were out of use.

The location was great. The Train station was just across the street. There's a supermarket just next door opened from 7am to 11.30 pm, which has everything you'll need. The neighbourhood has plenty of restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets and grocers. The staff were helpful with all my questions, even assisting me with an issue I had with my train reload. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and spacious enough for me to put my things and sleep in, but then again I'm pretty small. I would recommend bringing some hangers as there is only 1 hook per person in the room for jackets. There is a cupboard below the bed to store luggage and belongings. It's big enough to slot my whole 24' luggage in and more. But remember to bring a lock or you will have to rent one at the reception. I got the 6 bed room which allowed for a small bench area which was great as we could then organize our luggage there instead of the narrow aisle between the beds. Do note that although I got the female only room the floor is mixed. So no going to the toilet half dressed as there are guys walking the halls more often than not. The toilet is usually clean but the toilet cubicles are pretty small even for my size. The showers leak water everywhere as the doors do not close tightly and getting dressed in there can be a challenge. I usually just dress half in half out of the shower stall. There were 4 showers but 1 was not working, and 1 had issues with the adjuster. Once all I got was boiling hot water and no adjusting helped. The hairdryer was most often not working, I would be using it for less than a minute then it would shut off or just refuse to work. Breakfast only consists of croissant, baguet, egg quiche, cheese, fruit, yogurt, cereal, juice and coffee. Not exactly a spread but quite sufficient for the day. It's free flow for 10euro or if you added it to your booking, and 5 euro for coffee and 2 pastries or bread.

The only major drawback would be not having a kitchen/common area to eat and relax in. There is a cafe/restaurant on the top floor that is open to public, which is where we have our breakfast. However at night the only place I could get to eat my meal was out at the balcony as it would be full inside. Which would be ok in other weathers but I was there in the winter. Me and my food would be frozen midway through the meal which puts a damper on the enjoyment of the view. We have a nice view of the Eiffel tower in the distance, can even see the twinkling lights and spot light.

Even though the location is not central, it is right next to a major subway station so you can easily hop on the metro and go wherever you like. The rooftop patio has a great view of the central plaza. I also think the rooms had very smart designs that anticipated the needs of any guest. I especially like the light, shelf, and curtain for each bunk bed. The bathrooms were as clean as they can be in a hostel.

The showers are somewhat small and the drainage situation was not great so make sure you wear shower shoes because the floors were often wet in the evenings. Also, the service upstairs was sometimes slow-- it was never clear to me whether I should approach the bar to order or wait for the waiter to come to my table.

The location was amazing very close to the metro station called the nation. So very convenient to travel. Also you get a direct train to Disneyland Paris from there. Rooftop restaurant and the view was amazing especially at night. Clear view of the glittering Eiffel tower. The food was good, you get personal lockers, privacy curtains, AC. The best part was that they allowed me to check in early and the receptionists were very friendly and helpful. I was in the mixed dorm. I have met such lovely people and travellers from across the globe. So no complaints about the dorm. It was a great experience.

The only thing I didn't like was the toilets were very small. And the floor was wet all the time and didn't smell good. Also you don't have access to the kitchen. That means you can't cook anything. I like making my tea and cooking light meals like a packet of noodles. So that wasn't the option but they provide breakfast for a price. So make sure to check that before you book or you can buy there. Overall I would recommend it, a great option for solo travelers like me.

The staff is really nice and hostal has great location. The metro station (Nation) is located across the street and a grocery store next door, many restaurants, bakeries and pharmacy in the area. Clean bathrooms, and water pressure is great! Comfortable and spacious beds. There’s a restaurant/ terrace with nice views where you can hangout without needing to purchase anything, it’s great to hangout during the day, but it gets very busy in the evening as other people from outside the hostal go to the restaurant. I recommend to bring your own towel and padlock for the room locker, otherwise they’re an extra charge.

The bathroom floor gets wet during the evening after people shower, so bringing flip flops is a must. Other than the restaurant there’s no other common area which is a bit inconvenient. During the evening, me and other guests had to take phone calls in the hallway or the stairs of the hostal as there was no other place to do so.

Oh my god, it was so memorable for me as it was my last stop of the dreamtrip, thank god I booked this hostel it was so goooooood. I met so amazing people in the dorm who were very welcoming and friendly. I met Diamond from Malaysia, she was so amazing on my first day she showed me around and guided me with the directions as well. Then I met Koki from Japan he was also very good we had a very conversation about travelling. And on my last day I met Gesellie from Brazil then I showed her around as same Diamond showed me. It was memorable for me, thank you The People, nation Paris. Lastly, location is very good metro and bus station is nearby 2 minutes away. So highly recommended this hostel ♥️

There’s nothing

Very nice hostel! Felt safe, a little outside city center but not that far! Metro station was literally outside the door, and it took approx. 25min to Eiffel Tower by line 6, 20min to Louvre by line 1 or 30min to Sacre Coure by line 2. Decor was very nice, felt quite new/not used that much, true to photos. Everyone had big locked cabinet under the bed and every bed get big curtain (Love that! As it not a standard for that prince range), beds were quite spacious with own lighting and powersockets. Things for renting: towel and padlock, but shockingly dryer was for everyone in a toilet. Stuff was helpful and pleasant. Rooftop with phenomenal view of Paris at night! Good wifi Overall, very nice hostel, very good quality for the price. Would recommend

Biggest minus for me was lack of common area. There were restaurant/bar with a rooftop, but it was quite small and you needed buy something to just sit longer (also I think people from outside the hostel could come there). I just prefer kitchen-living room type of common area were you have fridge, can cook if want, left stuff and just eat food from outside. Also, everyone has card that works only for reception (0 floor), your floor and restaurant (6th floor). Not a minus, not a plus, just neutral.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, there are two outlets by the bed. The location is beautiful, and great for the metro, with good restaurants and groceries nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The bathroom was never fully clean. The floor was always full of puddles and there's no window or ventilation so it was usually hot, humid and did not smell good. One morning it was blasting loud music in the bathroom, too. There is no kitchen, and the on site restaurant is limited and overpriced (though the staff are lovely).

SO clean!!! And the beds were the most comfortable anywhere. The food was delicious and you couldn’t have a better view. The thing that makes this place truly extraordinary is the staff. I was treated exceptionally well by everyone at the desk. I am an older woman traveling alone and this really made a big difference for me. I will never remember everyone’s name but Lilie and Yamin and, although I can’t read my notes…😜one of the young men’s names starts with a V and one with a B. Thank you all SO much! I would have been LOST without you and your perfect directions!!!

Can’t think of a thing!

This is a great hostel. Bed was super comfy and the duvets were very warm ( I went in December). The light-blocking curtains for each bed was great and gave each person the privacy they needed. Bathrooms were clean and easy to use. The showers are individual and I appreciated that the doors locked to the shower, there was a little change area and that the shower was easy to use and had good water pressure. The upstairs bar and restaurant had a great vibe and was an easy place to meet people. Front desk was super helpful and getting a replacement card was very simple to do. The rooms were quiet and I couldn't hear people in the hallway or the other rooms. Transit is super close by, lots of restaurant and shopping options. I walked the 2 hours back from the Eiffel Tower and it was a really lovely walk giving lots of things to see along the way and restaurants to go to as well. I went in December so the Christmas lights that were up during this walk made it really memorable.

The ladders on the bunk bed are straight up and down (no angle to make climbing easier)It made it a bit tricky to climb up and down.
