I was here with my class on a study trip to Paris. The hostel is not in the city center but it's close to the public transportation (metro) and it's easy and quick to get wherever you want to go. This is the best thing about the hostel. The staff was friendly when we arrived and we could put our... More

It is accessible easily by the metro but very far from anything you would want to see or do in Paris. The metro also does not run all night so it would be hard to come back here if you were to go out late unless you wanted to pay for a taxi. Lots of dodgy looking people hang around... More

We were in a group of four, and stayed here for three nights. You are greeted at the hostel by a swarm of smokers, which you have to pick a path through. Nice. The staff at the desk weren't too bad, which is probably the only good thing about this place. The room we had, while it was clean-ish, had... More

I was concerned after reading other reviews, but will go back. My room had 2 beds, and a view of the Eiffel Tower. It was clean. No chairs, no lockers, has open shelves and a sink. I purposely left a few hairs on the sink and a few bits of paper on the floor. They were gone when I returned.... More

The most bizarre thing happened here in April 1999 Ok it was over 10 years ago but I guess this is an interesting account... In April 1999 I was staying at the Leo Lagrange as I was working in Paris as an intern temp for a magazine and didn't have much money so Youth Hostelling was my only option. I... More

Although it wasn't terrible, it was my least favourite hostel during my month-long backpacking trip through Western Europe. It's an old building so the washrooms and rooms are grungy. What I did like about it is there aren't many beds per room. The breakfast was the worst I've had at a hostel, but at least it was free. The location... More

Well I was there 3 days and it wasn't as bad as some earlier comments might suggest. The room was ok, we did have a closet, and toilets and showers were alright as well. True, breakfast is easy to improve, especially in a country that is famous for good baguette and croissants. Why then only those unappealing rolls? All in... More

we stayed here as the other hostel we found was fully booked. there was noisy building work outside which did not give the best impression but the staff were polite and helpful when we got in. Our room was very shabby: the floor tiles were coming up, so much that i tripped over one. The sink was covered in grime... More

I arrived at this hostel with my friend on New Year's Eve because our other hostel (the d'Artagnan) didn't have beds available for the one night. We had a very hard time finding the hostel based on the map available on the website as there were streets missing in between major ones. We walked for about 45 mins and finally... More
