The price is great for Paris but beware there is no kitchen so you end up spending more money on food. One shower is shared between a lot of people which can cause an issue of long waiting times and the shower not feeling clean. The location is great in regards to Paris attractions and the metro but the immediate area outside the hostel does not feel safe. It is a shopping centre type thing full of men. The rooms are mixed and there is no age limit, we felt the minority as young girls travelling. The rooms are warm and loud but beds are fairly comfy and a decent size. Hosts speak very little English but are friendly and welcoming, although the check in was a little complicated as you cannot get to the hostel without a key and must wait a few minutes away for the host to collect you. We did all feel ill when staying here and one left with a bad cold and the other with a swollen stye, both of which have now cleared we are staying in a new air bnb. Good price but does have major drawbacks.
