My third or fourth time staying at this place. Still fully enjoying it :)
Confortable beds, clean showers and decent facilities.
Nice and cosy bar downstairs, where you can also enjoy a nice and affordable breakfast in the morning.
The location is probably not the best, but there's a subway station not far from the hostel, so it makes it easy to access the city center.
Go for it !

Fantastic hostel for a solo female traveller! Cannot recommend enough. Location is a little removed from the main tourist areas. Personally, that wasn't an issue for me but it's definitely something to consider if that's important to you. Even if it is, there are two metro stations within a block of the hostel! I would highly recommend staying here when you come to Paris!

더피플 마레랑 오지게 비교하다가 여기로 골랐는데 위치는 11호선이나 3호선?타고 중앙까지 바로 갈 수 있어서 낫배드하고요 밤 11시좀 넘어서 다녀도 크게 위험한 느낌은 없었는데 역앞에 노숙하는 사람은 좀 있어요 샤워기가 5초마다 꺼지는 그 짜증나는 샤워기 아니라서 진짜 마음에 들었고요 해바라기랑 코브라 샤워기 둘다 있고 샤워부스 상태는 나쁘지 않아요 그리고 화장실에 드라이기 비치되어 있어요 호스텔 치고 비싸긴 한데 파리 숙박비가 다 이모양이라서 그냥 납득하렵니다 앞에 Franprix 있어요! 칸막이에 커튼달려있어요~

People who say that it is in the middle of nowhere need their head examined. Yes it isn't next to the Eiffel Tower, but not everything in Paris is near each other, in fact most things aren't!
The bar on the first floor seems to have a bit of a cult following, with regulars coming in that are always good to give advise on what to do or see.
Only thing to criticise is probably the second bunk being too high, the lockers should be moved from being under the bottom bunk, and both bunks lowered.
If I am ever transiting through Paris again, I'd definitely consider revisiting.

A 20-30 min ride to the city. Not many amenities are included and you’re charged for everything. I did not love the social atmosphere.

The staff is good, very helpful. Bed is comfy.
I think though I am not a hostel kind of person anymore. Used to be a go to when I was travelling but I will think again for next trips (the rest of my bookings are not in hostels). I know I should not expect to sleep well in a dormitory but still, being woken up at 1am to 2am is not very nice (mostly in jetlag). I could have chosen something better for jetlag but I was looking for a cheap accommodation for my first night. And it is no longer that of a cheap option! Thank you.

Spent 2 nights here, and in between I woke to find about 12 bug bites on my arm/neck. I know that they are bug bites, as I am allergic to bug bites, and now they have swollen the size of half dollar coins. Seeing how they were in a line and how itchy they were, I'm guessing bed bugs. I'm thinking it had to do with my pillow, seeing as how there was a blood stain on it and had to request a new one...

The staff were not friendly at all. The location is very dangerous. Some one tried to mug me but I escaped. The area is very shady in general. Though the rooma were clean and the beds had some privacy
