What a treat. I was traveling in Europe, so made a stop in Paris and I needed to keep it frugal. I started out rather skeptical about Les P given the location and price, but upon arrival I was a convert!
It's such a fun place to stay. Belleville is a lovely quartier, super diverse population, enormous market, and a twenty minute walk to Pere la Chaise.
It's not always easy to sleep in a 4-bed dorm, but my roommates were considerate and earplugs allowed me to sleep soundly.
The staff were professional and competent and friendly. I enjoyed coming "home" to an active cafe in the evenings. It felt very alive and vibrant.
Oh, also, the terrace at sunrise? Unbeatable. You can see Sacre Cour and the Eiffel tower and Montparnasse.
Highly recommend, will stay again. Thanks, Les Piaules!
