Property could do with a bit of an update - clean carpets and Barth rooms a bit better so more hostel like but perfect location and staff and bar men very friendly

Bar is not open 24hrs as advertised. The hallway rug on level 2 was old and dirty. No shower curtains. It is a family oriented hostel, lots of kids. The kids playground is next to the bar. Breakfast for sure not fancy but ok. It is in a residential area. Only 2 small restaurants across the street, one of them no alcohol. Close by train station north.
We appreciated the early check in but there’s no AC in the room, which made it difficult to sleep. Not safe keeping the window open (it’s ground floor - someone can walk in!). Btw the lobby bar didn’t have a wine opener for us to enjoy our French wine in our room before we left. I had to walk to the Standard to get the bottle opened, which was awkward. Not penalizing them for that but odd.
Great room and service. Very affordable for comfort provided.

The hotel is very good, spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable, the room was spotless, and the shower was excellent. However, the breakfast was very disappointing and not worth paying for. The reception staff deserves 4 stars.
Room was spacious, staff was excellent and helpful. Breakfast had heaps of options.
The only downfall is that the hotel is located close to Gare du Nord station which is a red light area where thieves operate. Highly recommend to take a taxi. Apart from that, the hotel is excellent

Clean and spacious room , good value for the money
Lively lobby area, great rooms - family room at two toilets which was great! The surrounding area is quite vibrant - some restaurants, lots of local community shops, playgrounds. public transport options nearby.
I feel like the reviews on Hotels.com aren’t to be trusted at all. I know this is a hotel turned hostel but it really shouldn’t be described as a hotel in any way. The bed was comfy and the location was great - that is the two positive things. Close to walk to train / bus station but also city centre and Tour&Taxis.
The bathroom was really old and tatty and didn’t seem clean and I’m not even fussy. The plug in the sink was pushed in so the sink didn’t drain but filled up so I had to brush my teeth in the bath tub. I told reception about this 3 times and they fixed it the night before I left - not an emergency but annoying and inconvenient. Staff was nice enough most of them but the service again is not of hotel standard but the price of the ‘hotel’ is.
