The location was central (only 5min train from Gare du Nord), and was just right outside a metro station, with close access to many restaurants nearby. I had some decent late night french food at 1am that was only a short 10min walk from the hostel. The host was very friendly too, and provided clear and prompt communication that facilitated the settling in process. The stay was comfortable too with decent living space, and was well-stocked with amenities. There was hot water too. I would recommend anyone visiting Paris to stay here for these reasons, and also definitely because its one of the best value deals you can get in the whole city! You won't regret it!
