Stayed there in february 2012. Highly enjoyed it. . Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful and remembered my name Close to lots of great cafes, bars and restaurants Quiet area Clean rooms Cons: The building is old and narrow The included breakfast is limited to bread, croissants and coffee

I have traveled all over Europe in hostels and bed and breakfasts, and NEVER have I seen an establishment in such poor, unkept condition. My boyfriend and I had a tough time finding accommodation in Paris, so we figured what the heck, lets give this place a try. This decision was the worst one made of our entire one month... More

The location was good, nice area, lots of bars, near to metro. The showers and toilets were very, very dirty...and could also use a renovation. Otherwise fine to stay a couple of nights.

We stayed here for 3 nights. It was in a great location, and the light breakfast was nice. However, the staff was pretty difficult to work with and not very nice. The lobby smelled like urine. There are no lights on the spiral staircase which is very narrow and hard to bring bags up. Bring your earplugs, and shower shoes... More

My travel companions were not thrilled at all, especially because the heater in their room was broken and the staff was unable to give them additional blankets or do anything about it.

I left early the next morning, but slept well despite being in a large room with many guests (who observed lights out) and noises... More

Had such a great experience at the young and happy! Such a good location and the man on the front desk is very friendly and helpful! Breakfast wasn't very exciting but it's a hostel!

I've never written a review before, even though I've stayed in at least 50 other hostels, but this time I just have to say something.This was the worst hostel I've ever stayed in. I'm surprised the sanitation and/or safety department doesn't shot this down. I've stayed in many hostels all over the world and five other hostels in Paris and... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found the location to be great. The rooms were clean, and the staff was very friendly. We were in a room with 8 other people each night, and they too were very friendly. They were doing some renovations when we were there, but we weren't there during the day, so the noise didn't... More
