great hostel, the rooms are clean, the staff is polite, delicious breakfast. thanks to Mohammed, as always very friendly, lifts the mood in the morning. Thank you Mohamed. Hi from Kazakhstan ❤️ I love meininger. your regular guest Assel. 🤗🤗

Fantastic stays again. A great city option, a mix of hotel and hostel. Lovely comfortable room and great breakfast. Mohamed and Apu both so helpful and very good hosts at breakfast. Location good for public transport options. Look forward to exploring other Meininger locations.

We already stayed in an excellent Meininger hotel in Germany, so we thought we can book this one in Paris we both eyes closed. But it was a very different experience: although the room was large enough and clean, it lacked the most amenities you just expect in a modern hotel. It looks and feels very industrial, and it has neither any charm, nor did anyone pay attention to the room outfit. There‘s for example no cabinet, no freaking fridge!, and the single beds are just 80 cm. wide, you can‘t open the window in your room (not even a gap), the room felt VERY overheated, and despite trying many times, there was no way to influence the temperature in the room. Many things in the room are sub-low price quality, like all of the lamps, the coat hooks on the wall (for the lack of a cabinet), and overall, iI couln‘t escape the feeling that I was staying in a gloryfied jail cell. Add the constant bad smell in the reception, probably from the guest kitchen, I don‘t know, but it permanently smelled somehow putrid in the ground floor. Location: it’s in a safe district of Paris, you can walk there at night without feeling threatened. At the reception I was told that the Metro-station (Porte de Vincennes) is 5 minutes away, however this is only valid for a hardend narathon-man. I‘m a fast walker, but it took me 15 minutes, each time. All in all, I‘m pretty sure it was a one-off experience for us.

Private bathroom rooms with four beds. Blankets on the bed were small size. Cold rooms and heating not working. Very noisy rooms around with school people on school trip. Breakfast was more like a school cafeteria. Oh, and my room was not made… The only thing similar to a hotel was the price.

Charged €12 to store luggage, absolutely ridiculous. Have used Meininger a few times in other countries and never been charged. When I contacted them I was told oh it’s normal… sorry I’ve been around the world and never had a hotel charged for luggage before and after check in! The room was like a prison cell. Mattress like cardboard. ZERO ventilation. Literally ran out at 9am to get air. Window could not be opened and NO air con. It was 25c while there - be wary if you stay in summer. Man checking us in was incredibly surly. The only upside to this awful stay was it was close to the park. Oh and also the pillows are tiny and you only get one

Still waiting for update for our complain from management, keeping silent does not stop anything. It's was un-humanity act from all 3 F&b staff for treating guest for paying their salary
