If you find yourself feeling ill they have a kit with cold,headache,stomache meds etc. which they will give you at the front desk. The receptionists Eve and Carlotte were especially helpful. They show movies at night for free and have got pretty good food. By metro, get off at Bonne Nouvelle station. 100F per night per person, includes breakfast.
Entire hostel is very clean, bright, and cheerful.
The manager, Michel, is very friendly and warm. He likes to be phoned first and books up quickly in the summer and holidays. If we had made a reservation ahead of time we likely could have been in all women's quarters both nights. We felt quite lucky. It was a good city neighborhood.
