I really liked the area/district/environment the Hostel is in, I really liked that the rooms are actually really soundproof on one hand regarding street noise and on the other hand regarding noise from the bar in the evening. The rooftop Terrasse is a great feature!! The service was super good. :) I think it's def. worth it, just for me it is still expensive, but I think that's just because I'm cheap 😂

The room was really small but actually well designed to even fit 8 beds & lockers in there! Quite impressive tbh. I just think if it was fully booked it would have been packed!! Lucky for me it wasn't. :)

There were lots of little things that I wish were there, like curtains next to the bed, a shower with a lock, hooks and a stand for luggage in the shower, a stand to put shampoo and other things, hand paper in the restroom, etc. It was the most comfortable hostel I've ever stayed at. The showers and restrooms were all clean, and it was also helpful that the personal lockers under the beds were large. Towels were also free to use. It was also easily accessible from the station. The staff were friendly and I felt secure.

My bed was at the top of a ladder, which was a little difficult to climb, and I was a little scared that I might fall when I got down. It seems difficult to climb if you have bad legs, so it's better to contact the hostel in advance.

The breakfast! Yum. The beds were comfy. Nice common area to sit in.

Pretty expensive, the doors to the rooms close loudly, a staff member came in to unplug a light on a bed which broke the side of my bed and send all my toiletries down into the dirt, she then got a stick with tape for me to one by one pick them up. Obviously didn’t do it on purpose but it was quite frustrating and she could have communicated what she was doing as I was left to clean up the mess.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Room 501 has a balcony which is a bonus. If you're staying for a long time and need to hand wash a few things, you could bring one of those compact air-dryer hangers with pegs on to use on the balcony. I think bed C is the best - even though it is a top bunk, it has plenty of head room. The lower bunks (B & F) have the disadvantage of having the lockers underneath them, which can cause your sleep to be disturbed when people are rummaging about in their lockers late at night. The ladies' bathroom on the 5th floor was cleaned regularly throughout the day. I really liked Belleville - although down-at-heel, it is quite central, well connected on public transport, very cosmopolitan, and there are great, reasonably priced restaurants - Korean, Vietnamese, Caribbean, African, Tunisian, Algerian, Kurdish, Jewish. I got back to the hostel around midnight a few times and felt safe as the streets were still busy. Ménilmontant, a stone's throw away, has a great vibe in the evenings.

I didn't like Bed B, the lower bunk bed on top of the lockers. Some guests would return about 1-2 am and use their lockers beneath me, which would disrupt my sleep. There was an unpleasant smell of drains at times in the bathroom, but I think that was due to the plumbing in an old renovated building rather than due to a lack of cleaning. The grouting in the shower cubicles could benefit from a machine/electric scrubbing tool, rather than manual scrubbing, which I saw the cleaning ladies doing. The showers have been set to reduce the water flow, to save water I guess, so don't expect a power shower.

The beds were comfortable and felt private even though I was in a 6-bed dorm thanks to the privacy curtains. The lockers were plenty big for my bag and locks were sold at the bar to keep your belongings safe. The rooms and bathrooms seemed decently clean and I saw the cleaners multiple times throughout my stay which was reassuring. The bar was nice and had good drinks and delicious croques/toasted sandwiches. There was a Halloween party the first night I stayed which was fun and the other hostelers I talked to were friendly. Most people were pretty quiet which I liked as an introvert. The reception and bar staff seemed nice enough. There are a lot of good restaurant options around as well and not in a super touristy area.

A bit out of the way but very easy to get to central Paris by Metro. Area is not touristy and felt a bit unsure walking at night as a solo female traveller but that’s par for the course and I wasn’t bothered by anyone. A slight smell of sewage in the bathroom at times but not noticeable elsewhere in the hostel.

The room was very pleasant. the beds were comfortable The bathrooms were always clean and the showers had enough space to change clothes. The sector had a lot of trade close to the city's metro stations

the distance from the center

Perfect location just a minute walk from coronnes metro station, clean rooms, comfortable beds

Just the door opening and closing was a little bit disturbing me

Free small beer when arriving, very nice staff attitude

Streets outside the location don't give the idea of safety . I checked out at 5 am and even at that hour i was approached some 100 meters from the hostel by a guy asking for money

My stay was very pleasant. I am especially happy with the night shift staff - Santiago and Christian were very kind and easy-going. I was pleased with the rooms and the facilities. I also appreciated the food options and the activities that the hostel provided.

I would have given a top review if they could help me with a wake-up call. My phone was stolen in the metro tunnels, and the staff unfortunately wouldn't assist me with a wake-up call because of the shared room. It was quite important, since it was for my trip home and I needed to wake up in good time to get to the airport. Luckily, I had bought a digital clock on my trip, and even more lucky - it had an alarm function. So everything turned out fine.

I liked very much the location, it was near the metro with easy access to the centre. The room was quite nice on the last floor with great view. Breakfast was ok although i was expecting more variety. The area downstairs was cozy and warm with special events some nights. The staff was nice. Special thanks to the receptionist who was late at night at the reception, i think his name was Gabie, who helped me before my trip to find the easiest way to get to the airport.🙂

The room although nice it was a bit small but it was ok. The room was cleaned everyday but during my stay the sheets were not changed. Only changed when another person a new customer was coming. Breakfast as i said was ok although small for the price. I was expecting more variety for the XL breakfast. During my stay someone from the room stole my bottles of shampoo, body shower gel and hair gel but the reception was kind and she offered to give me something similar from the lost and found.
