Good stay, in the most convenient location

Great stay very close to the metro station. Staff was helpful and the room was clean.

The room we booked was supposed to be a king sized bed and yet it was 2 single beds pushed together. This was not comfortable. Also, the pressure in the shower was very low, it should be improved on as well as the temperature of the water to make for a better experience.

Good stay close to the metro

Great location close to 2 metro stations which was very convenient. In general, the hostel has good infrastructure, a bar, cafe, vending machines, activities etc.

The pressure in the shower was very low. Also, the water in the shower was lukewarm, could be better.

Exceptional hotel in Paris

The French lad on reception at night was super helpful and friendly. He spoke great English. Generally the staff were super friendly. The French chef in the kitchen was super nice and the make the best croque madame in Paris!!

There was a mix up with the beds on my arrival, but everything was sorted.

Was okay and cheap, but there are missing attributes to enjoy a relaxed stay in shared rooms

The young parisian flair

The female staff workers didn’t like their job You definitly have to manage more dryer. Just three of them aren’t enough for so much people in so many rooms.

Very good

I visited first in Edinburgh and now this in Paris. I really like the environment and design.

A towel was hanging in the clean bed and a chocolate paper inside the little net inside the capsule. Anyways, it's a great place, I will always reccomend.

good beds, electricity near bed, lamp near bed, a good system for keeping your luggage together with boxes underneath the beds, free soap in the showers, nice staff, good location, very affordable.

The breakfast is not worth the money. Luckily it's optional :)

Pretty good for the price

The location was nice given the price, and quite near the subway. Perfect for young people expecially if you're travelling with a group. Had some weird roommates but overall everyone was nice and I made some great friends there.

Some people at the hostel looked super shady not gonna lie.

It was a decent place for the price paid.

I liked the social was of the dining areas. It was a bit strict with the no allowing of food into dorms and no non-Generator Parks food in the cafeteria.

The closed rooftop bar during winter.

A good place to stay

The area is walkable, the metro is right in front and there are several bars and restaurants nearby. The hostel has very comfortable beds and the staff is just lovely and very helpful.

This is my problem because I didn't check, but the place doesn't have a kitchen, so be ready to spend money on dining in the hostel's bar or outside.

Great budget option

Great location with easy access to Paris Gare du Nord a 15 minute walk away. The facilities were serviceable and the bed relatively comfortable. My room was surprisingly quiet at night which was a welcome surprise. The staff were also friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.

The facilities could have been cleaner and the corridors are in particular need of refurbishment. Neither of these things impacted my stay too greatly and I would use this hostel again.
