Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 18th October 2008 Choose one Age Group 3/5 Comments: We stayed in October and it was like sleeping in an inferno. The blankets are not washed, so keep your blankey from the airplane on you. Located right across from a Metro so that was convenient. Other than that, not real impressed.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 30th November 2008 Male 18-24 1/5 Comments: This was the hostel that didn't try and cared even less. It wasn't in one of the cleaner, safe-feeling, or beautiful neighborhoods of Paris, but that didn't bother me as much as how inhospitable the staff was and how run-down and dirty the rooms were. Don't plan on sleeping well or smelling nice in this place. And they need to get some pillow covers - the drool and sweet stains aren't attractive.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 29th November 2008 Male 18-24 1/5 Comments: Cheap, but so horrible that it's still not worth the price. DO NOT STAY HERE. Staff are not friendly nor helpful, lockout from 9AM to 3PM, rooms and particularly the beds are disgusting. The light in the bathroom did not turn on, located in bad neighborhood, extremely dirty. Worst hostel I've ever stayed in.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Mexico 29th November 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: este hostal se coloca como uno de los mejores de París y en realidad no lo es. En las fotos aparece una serie de imágenes que no tienen nada que ver con lo que es el lugar. Está en un lugar muy inseguro de París y no es nada cómodo y mucho menos limpio. Realmente decepcionante.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 31st August 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 1/5 Comments: A somewhat late commant but important still. This is the worst hostel I have even stayed in. Not only did the hostel increase the price on previously made bookings without any warnings. So when you got there you had two options - pay more for a booking already made to a said price or leave - which can be hard when you arrive late. They also hired a poor guy to act as a \"goalkeeper\" to handle all the people getting angre when they checked in. He started the same day.. poor guy. Avoid at all costs until they change owners which might take quite a while...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Sweden 24th November 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: The location is good in the city but the area doesn't feels safe when you come home at night! Only one key to each room was really really bad and made it hard to lock the door. It would have been nice if you could close and lock the toiletdoors in the corridor too! Dirty sheets and bad pillows.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 29th October 2008 - Age Group 1/5 Comments: It was pretty dirty feeling (due to things like pillows with no cases placed UNDERNEATH the sheets and some mattresses being wrapped in plastic which was also noisy) and the area is really sketchy i.e. my friend gave a police report on a theft the first night we were there. Buuuuuut it's hella cheap. Up to you.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 23rd November 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: rooms clean every day (bed is ok) multilingual staff my opinion is price/services ok

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 23rd November 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: The staff was more than unfriendly, it was down right rude. From yelling at us upon arrival because of unforseen travel problems, yelling at us about or keys, despite their only being one key per room, and then kicking us out of our room at 8:30 in the morning without knocking, the hostel was a disaster. Not only is it in one of the most unfriendly and scary areas of Paris, but it lacks even a basic common roomand other regular hostel ammenities. Overall, I give it a very poor ratings.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 23rd November 2008 Female 18-24 1/5 Comments: Good price, terrible hostel! Dodgy area with lots of sketchy people hanging around out the front. No lockers, one key for the entire room so if someone comes home at 2am u have to jump out of bed to let them in. Heaters on 24/7 very overheated. Lockout is way too early must be out at 9am. Don't stay here!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 23rd November 2008 Male 31-40 1/5 Comments: I definitly do not recommend this hostel for anyone in Paris. It placed in a dangerous area, the atmosphere is really bad. The accomodations are so poor and the the staff is not much friendly. Besides, I booked in a 4 beds room, and I was placed in a 5 beds room. I will never stay there anymore.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 23rd November 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 2/5 Comments: The location was scary, but it was nice to be so near the Eurostar station (1 stop). I didn't feel safe going out at noon, let alone at night. I would recommend paying a few extra euros to stay in a better location. Also, lights were burnt out, mirrors missing from rooms and locks were broken.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 22nd November 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: crap. glad i only stayed one night. there is only one key for your whole room! small "common room". location is ok becos you are right across the road from a metro station but the street is pretty dodgy, especially at night.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 19th November 2008 Female 31-40 1/5 Comments: This hostel is always in overbooking - no matter if you have a written confirmation of your booking with a late arrival. They will also change every nights of bed (like that they can "dispatch more people). The location is the baddest of Paris with a lot of drugdealers and gangs.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 16th November 2008 Female Age Group 1/5 Comments: ho prenotato un letto in una stanza da 4 mista con bagno in camera e mi sono ritrovata la prima sera in una stanza da 9 e la seconda in una da 5 senza bagno. se volete mangiare all'ostello dovete mangiare all'aperto: sai che divertimento fare colazione alle 8 del mattino mentre pioviggina col feddo di Parigi.l' ostello è sporco, i bagagli si devono lasciare in un deposito dove hanno accesso tutti, una sera addirittura ci ho trovato un ragazzo che dormiva lì dentro e la zona nn è male (vicino a Montmartre) solo che lì davanti c'è uno strano traffico di sigarette e profumi ed è pieno di questi ragazzi che se sei una ragazza sola...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Brazil 16th November 2008 Male 25-30 1/5 Comments: At the moment I arrived there the guy from the reception told me that there was a problem in the bedroom and I couldn't stay in hostel because every other rooms were full. He could have called me or sent me one e-mail before I go there. DON'T GO to this hostel! And the location is TERRIBLE! At night, it's a really dangerous neighborhood!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 16th November 2008 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: nice staff and there is in front of a metro station, but also you can go walking to the centre 20 minutes. The only problem is that there are 2 showers for all the rooms and you have to calculate where there will be empty.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 16th November 2008 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: The location is handy for Gare du Nord, there are a lot of street sellers outside but were not a big problem. Good to have luggar store and linen included

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 16th November 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: the receptionist was a complete stupid, they had OVERBOOKING, he proposed us to share one bed betweed 2 people, he didn't want to assure the reservation for the next day in the same room, they didn't clean up the room and bathroom the 2nd day, the kitchen is dirty, the area is one of the worst in paris, the railway track is in front of your window... try to avoid it!!!!!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 12th November 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: I think it is very good hostel for this price. It is very near to Gare du Nord so easy to get to the airport CDG. The staff was quite friendly and helped me in every aspect. The luggage room is very suitable for storing your luggage and then exploring the city. I think you will enjoy it.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Hong Kong 12th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Pros - excellent location just opposite to Metro Station Barbes-Rochechouart - people who you can meet in the hostel are nice & friendly Cons - space of the bathroom is too limited - the door of one of the WCs is broken - air circulation in the room is not good - rooms with 5 beds are too packed - there is only 1 electricity plug in a room, for 5 people In short, Friend's Hostel is okay if you just stay there for a sleep. The price is just reasonable.
