Les Piaules is such a fun place to stay! It was my first time traveling alone and I was a bit nervous about sleeping in a hostel for the first time. Les Piaules' location is 2 minutes away from a metrostation and has lots of nice restaurants in the neighborhood.
The lobby has a nice bar and live music every evening where you can meet people.
The rooms and bathrooms were clean.
I slept with 7 other people in the room and at the end of my stay they felt like friends! As a woman traveling alone I felt very safe and I didn't feel unsafe in the hostel.
I think it is also a fun hostel to stay with your friends if you want to meet new people easily :)
Definitely recommend this hostel!
