Smart Place Paris Gare du Nord by Hiphophostels

We were helped very much by Lucie and enjoyed our stay in such a great position.thanks so much,

I stayed with my niece as we were in Paris partly to go to Disneyland, the staff were fantastic and so friendly. For those possibly going to Disneyland by bus the stop is just around the corner from the Hostel. There are a couple of small shops very close by and the kitchen area is equipped with most things you'll need. I'd definitely stay again if i return to Paris

Aside from it's location near Gare du Nord, relative security and friendly staff I experienced, unfortunately this hostel is not on par with the quality you can expect from other hostels in Paris. The rooms are very cramped and the bathroom showers even more so. I'm a small person and I struggled to use the shower properly. Although clean sheets are provided the bed mattresses are saggy and uncomfortable and I think they have an issue with bed bugs too. The beds themselves are old and noisy so it's hard to move in bed without making noise that wakes up others in the room. The lockers are tiny so they barely store many belongings safely. They have basic kitchen facilities with a microwave and sandwich press. However, I wouldn't stay here again.

You can hear the noise from the bathroom and the bed frame. Couldnt access to public bathroom at the -1 floor as you need the card after check out.

Place is quite cramped. The place is by the main train station so it was great to get to your hostel quick. But definitely not the best place if youre planning for a comfortable stay for over a week. It's also close to the Montemartre (15 min walk) which was nice. They have lockers, AC.. just the bare essentials. The elevator is enough for 1 person. They have a spiral staircase thats small. The people were kind though!
