  : The rooms are really nice, with showers and great space, apart from the shared toilet which is very small.
  : But one thing that changed all my plans for my trip was that the rooms aren't available between 11am and 3pm. You can't enter your room during this time. So if I had a night out, I had to wake up before 11am and be out of the room. Tired. If I wanted to change clothes, or have a pit stop at the hostel during my trip I couldn't enter the room at this time. It was very annoying and changed my trip experience. Wish they told me that before so I could plan my trip better.Another bad thing was that they only supply one key (I got a twin room with a friend), and you have to return the key to the reception every time you leave the hostel. Was also annoying as sometimes the reception was busy and hard to get the keys to get in.One last item was that when I booked the hostel I extended the dates one day later and asked to be in the same room, they assured me on messages that I would be in the same room, not to worry. When getting there, they said I had to change the room. Not only I had to change rooms, I had to checkout, and checkin, and packing and unpacking all again.Location wasn't the best, and there was no laundry available.I wouldn't come back to this hostel because of those items mentioned. But the room itself is really good. I really hope they see that those hostel rules can change a whole travel experience.

  : Was a good location and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
  : The room was very hot the fan was not working properly and we had an issue with our shower which made our floor wet which the kind staff did their best to fix. Paris is just expensive for what it is
