- Excellent location just across bridge from city centre and a short bus trip to the train station - Bed was comfortable and had reading light and charging port - Toilet and shower were separate in the room which was nice as didn’t need to wait much to use them - Restaurant and bar downstairs - Wifi was good - Clean

- Shower water pressure wasn’t great - Expensive for what you get in the room, very basic - No lockers for belongings in room - No privacy curtains - Room was quite small - No A/C or fan in room so got quite hot

The hostel is clean and has comfortable beds. Good location a tad out of the main centre (10min by foot, maybe?). Breakfast is buffet style and has a wide selection for being a hostel. Even more variety on Sunday. Only not so great thing: it didn't have a social hostel vibe and the people working didn't seem to be too motivated. Also, we were told by one of the staff the bar will be open all night and later, at around 22h30, the night concierge, told us it was closed. After telling this to the same guy the next day, he was like :"naah, the bar is open all night but you won't be served alcoholic beverages after midnight, of course."

No hand towel in the private three bed room.

Clarius was a perfect place for families with small children; I was surprised because it was the first time I slept in a hostel with a small child. The location was in a quiet street and not too far from the center, you can enjoy a walk along the river. The staff was nice and ready to answer any request. The breakfast was very good. The room was cleaned every day. The best part for my child (2.4 years old), very curious was the piano area, the staff never asked him not to touch the piano (even though he doesn't know how to play the piano.)

I liked the feel of security in the hostel. There was good storage in the room and for early check-in and late check out. I was able to store my bag for the day because my train was in the evening. I liked the feel of the room and the climate control. The bathroom was spotless and cleaned every day. The room was cleaned and was nice to relax in. I also took advantage of the communal spaces to read in and enjoy. The accessibility to downtown and major tourism spots was good, about 10 to 15 minute walk from Les Halles, the cathedral, Place de la Republic, trams, restaurants and shopping. I liked that it was a quiet and more residential part of town.

The bed was very uncomfortable and too firm. The pillow was very flat and unsupportive, maybe it's just me, but I prefer a softer mattress and bigger pillow (I've had both in other hostels so I know they exist with the plastic coverings)

This time, the shared room is big for just three people. Cleanliness, friendly and welcoming reception, nice lobby, common Tv room, central location are all positive

This nice room does not have lockers, it just has shelves. I know they also offer luggage storage slots outside the room. But it would be easier to store laptops and some valuables just in the room without requiring a large luggage space. Also, I don’t know why this is the case for just the 1st floor. The previous week, I was in the second floor and lockers were equipped.

Great location, very clean, very friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast with many options. Walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go.

It was a bit more expensive than I would have expected for a hostel. We had a private room for 3 people, which was great, and then paid extra per person for breakfast. If breakfast were included in the price, that would've made a difference to me. Still overall a good option for us as the more traditional hotels were already booked at the time we planned our trip.

In general, the room or the common area are clean, way better than the other hostel I've been to. There is also a foyer to go into the bedroom, which really useful when someone go back late without disturbing others. The counter staff is also really helpful and approachable.

The counter staff in night shift was not that friendly, when I ask if there's any hair dryer that I can borrow, he seemed He indifferent and said that all our hair dryers have been borrowed, not even trying to help me to find one, so turns out not blow dry my hair before going to bed, and even woke up the next day with a slight headache... I really recommend to provide hair dryer in every room or at least make sure you have enough item to lend.

The common areas are really nice and well decorated. Near the city center. We got an upgrade for the family suite with 3 bunk beds. There are two pianos (but only for professionals), a mini foot and a ping pong.

Few easy fix: Room 316 some lights not working. No soap in the wc room. No presence of cupboards or a furniture for the clothes. The bins not with a cover. No toys or playroom for children between 2-7 years old . The floor in the room had some white spots. No pain au chocolates for breakfast.

Great location. Very central but in a quite residential area. The structure has been recently refurbished so everything is quite new. The room was spacious for 4 people sleeping, plenty of space to put the luggage. The bed was quite comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped and the shower was large and with a good water pressure. The room was really warm. Maybe even too much.

The only issue I had was with the pillow.

The hostel was clean, light and comfortable. The shared space and room looked new. The rooms are big and the one I was in had two bathrooms which is always a plus. Every bed had their own shelf, light and socket. There are free toiletries and a towel. The matress was good but the pillow is too flat. There is a bar and common space in the ground floor as well as a restaurant and game room. The vibe is more business than homely.

The only thing I was missing is the laundry room. Besides that I liked everything else.
