I travelled alone and stayed here in a shared room for one night last month and it cost me around 40 euros. Transport to/from the hostel is easy as it is a short distance from the local metro. The room was cleaned and beds for the hostel are clean and well-maintained. Each room has 4 beds and you are allocated your room and bed upon arrival. Your bed has a reading light, a charging port, USB and USB-C charging port and a curtain for privacy and light blocking. There is a shared kitchen/dining area on the lower ground floor where apparently complimentary breakfast is served before 10am, however when I went down on the morning there was no service. A problem with the kitchen I faced was that there were a lack of clean dishes, however I would not put that down to hostel staff as the kitchen is labelled as being communally managed. There is a private, secured locker room within the hostel where you can leave valuables if you will be exploring the city thoughout the day. Wi-fi is available to residents and is speedy; I was able to join a zoom meeting throughout the morning with no difficulty. The lady on the reception was kind and friendly. Overall, for the price I paid, I have little to complain about, and if in Paris again I will be staying here. 4/5. Pros: Easy to transport to/from the hostel to Central Paris/ CDG Airport. Easy Check In Clean facilities (toilets, showers, beds) Good price Speedy Wifi Friendly receptionists Cons: The lift in the building can jutter and feel rather uncomforting at times. The kitchen is not very clean. Did not receive complimentary breakfast.
