WORST HOTEL OF MY LIFE!
The worst Hostel in my life! Even in poor countries as in Vilnius is comparable to a Palace!
Friend hotel's = - cold water - not heating - shabby home and staff unpleasant, rude, step commercial and learned barely speak French - horrible, dirty, poorly insulated room - no intimacy - flights in rooms - as a key while it is 3 in the House....

Good price-quality ratio.
However, the beds on two floors (3 bunk beds) are quite DESAGREABLES and DESADAPTES for adults. With 50 cm of height between your bed and at the top, you're guaranteed you knocking the front a maximum of times on the cu edge reads at the top and cannot read sitting on the bed.
More soon pretty much clean.
Staff quite courtoi.

Hotel frankly very dirty shower without lock, cold, and light, I caught scandalous buttons related to the dirt of this hotel, I have noted them my buttons, but they had fun then I will send the health services. Really outrageous.

-Horrible Organization (people fit into the rooms to spend the night) - permanent noise (door is not closed, people speak aloud all night at the home, in the corridor at the entrance or in the lounge) - comfort leaves to be desired - the temperature in the House was unbearable limit, it was cold... very cold - I left at 5 in the morning because I did not close the eye of the night, this was not possible - A good point for hospitality (the guy in the home is nice even though he speaks very) well to you

Auberge de jeunesse in face du métro Barbes rochechouart pratique mais bruyant du coup.
Quartier populaire voire craignos selon certaines la journée heures.
Propreté chambre, douche et WC commun douteuse.
Galère incroyable pour obtenir une check classique.
If votre seul critère est le prix c'est à conseiller mais pour tout reste le absolument pas!

Hostel El es muy sucio, las sabanas olian evil y nunca las cambiaron. Además de que no es mejor zona para alojarse ya that no. está cerca del centro is the zona in general es fea y no parece segura.

The hostel is very well located, just at the exit of the Metro barbès, therefore ready the stations North and austerlitz. The staff is very friendly and very varied customer. However, the place clearly lack of maintenance: there was a pipeline with a large water leak in the House (a cloth used to cover...) and not light in sanitary. The dirty dishes and outdated commodities dragging in the kitchen: the last day, there are cockroaches in the sink and fridge e!. The Court is nice as a place to eat, but there is no space for shelter during rain....
By patricia | The 11-05-2011
I wouldn't recommend it can't: it was loud, the triple beds meant that there was almost no space in the room, and on top of that not all meant to be en-suite rooms are actually in suite: some provide you only with toilet, and no bathroom. All windows of the hostel overlook the courtyard, so it's at night, hard and loud to get some sleep. In addition, I booked a 4 - bed room but it turned out that due to their messy I was allocated to bookkeeping was 7 - bed room for the same price. I saw some cockroaches in the kitchen.

the home is mediocre .the people are not effort to parler.lors for a reservation on the internet, print your ticket well, otherwise you will have to repay the deposit.... not clean sheets... instead of meal outside... Fortunately it was not raining...

This is the worst hostel where I had the misfortune to stay. Located in a relatively dangerous Paris (they are the smuggling of cigarettes in the face...), a band of thugs tore me my bag with a razor blade nearby. Cockroaches by scores in the kitchen, human rats eat food you leave there, we've missed during 2 days, a single key by Chamber which complicates much the vas and forth and security (it embarré me in my room accidentally one day...) and so on. Hostel Paris cheapest and certainly the most poor. We meet all of the cool people...

I have booked in the Friend's Hostel before reading all the negative comments, illogical tell me - you, either... I started to read all your comments and I began to be very afraid, but then very very afraid. Talked about me a little on district, I am a young woman travelling alone... I let you imagine my state of mind... And then frightening this bed story given to someone else, is it not? I therefore, about a week before my arrival, called the hotel to make sure that my reservation was well taken into account, that I was certified. And result: I have yet had no problem, when I returned to the hotel, a Friday evening, about 23: 30 the street was empty, at the exit of the subway, I just had to walk 3 minutes to reach the hotel, the home was the most charming, despite a slight problem of language, and I had a bit of difficult to find my room but staff eventually kindly lead me there. Good surprise, instead of a House that I had to share 6, I found myself with only 3 people sharing my dormitory. Bathroom was rather clean and the bed also. Only concerns at the level of it, I have to take the only bed that was left, was in height, and being small, I had trouble to used me to scale, but it is quickly. In conclusion, I would say that there is no fear to be reserved in this hotel, it just well think to send the security code of your credit card with which you have made your booking with your booking number and think to arrive to their which you said happen. If you arrive later than expected, think to call before the time you said or for if you do not want to see your bed to someone of another ' 3 = I wish you a good stay!
