The location is fantastic with two metro stations within 400 meters (Commerce and Felix Fauré)! There are grocery stores, pharmacy, pâtisserie, Sephora, The Body Shop...even a church next door (if you want to pray)! They have a kitchen that's adequate, a storage (that's free if you are staying and €15/day if not) and very helpful staff. I stayed 4 nights in 6 female dorm before going to other places in France and then for 3 nights in mixed dorm. The 6 female dorm was slightly better and cleaner. I was lucky enough to stay with all females in the mixed dorm. For all this 4 stars, one added star for staff and owner attitude! The day I arrived in Paris after 11+ hours flight, had to wait another 2 hours at border control. Hence was extremely tired and was functioning on auto pilot mode. Managed to burn a store bought sandwich while heating it in the microwave. The kitchen was filled with smoke and it's a wonder that the smoke detector didn't go off. Anyone would have been cross with me, but not the owner! She was kind, emphatic and understanding. Said accidents happen and understood that I was so tired. Even the reception staffs were so helpful, jovial and funny. Don't believe all the negative reviews, it's not deluxe luxury accommodation but they don't claim to be. There is €5 deposit in cash for the key card, they issue a receipt for it. Don't lose it and then blame them for refusing a refund. Once again location counts. I had online ticket for Louvre entry at 9:30 AM and be at Paris Opera House at 1:30 PM for a ballet performance. In between I even went to the National Musuem of Natural History. In between dropped in to hostel to change for the ballet!
