  : Staff were super helpful and friendly.The room and other facilities were cleaning and fresh.
  : At night it was a bit noisy by the the motorbikes and people shouting in the street. Even closing the window did not help much.

  : to be impartial, I must note that the location is conveniently close to the Belleville metro station, albeit a 50-minute walk to the main attractions, and the general cleanliness of the premises was acceptable. Nonetheless, prior to making a booking, I urge you to review the following issues that I experienced.
  : Unfortunately, the accommodation was fraught with numerous frustrations, making it the worst hostel experience I have encountered so far. However, to be impartial, I must note that the location is conveniently close to the Belleville metro station, albeit a 50-minute walk to the main attractions, and the general cleanliness of the premises was acceptable. Nonetheless, prior to making a booking, I urge you to review the following issues that I experienced.1st: the internet connection was slow, and despite my bringing this to the attention of the receptionist, who was abrasive and confrontational with guests. She claimed that no one else had complained and that it was working fine. This was simply untrue, as I spoke to several other guests who shared my dissatisfaction. Furthermore, I conducted speed tests that demonstrate that the connection was, on average, only 2-3 mbps and, at best, reached 6-7 mbps, a far cry from their advertised claims.2nd: the hostel does not provide a kitchen, nor is there any designated storage area for the food you purchase, which is an issue that resulted in substantial food expenses in Paris. Additionally, I was concerned that the cheese I purchased to bring home would spoil as the receptionist refused to put it in their fridge for even a couple of hours. Their inflexibility extends only to storing medicines.3rd: the window in my room was broken, and the staff had resorted to fixing it with Scotch tape. The room was cold, and the AC remote was not in the room.4th: the hostel does not provide a calm space, and the only place to work is the bar, which plays loud music that can be disruptive. Furthermore, the chairs and tables are not suitable for working.5th: the premises lack a communal area apart from the bar, which is less than ideal for guests who wish to relax or warm up.6th: if you are given a bed on the top bunk, be prepared to climb a challenging and high ladder and stay uncomfort

  : Lovely little place. The bar and music was great and family friendly and the room was fab too, although make sure you choose your bed before the kids do, as we felt a bit past it to be climbing up the bunks haha
  : Cleaners coming in every 5mins before the checkout time made us feel a bit pressured into leaving.
