"A 15‑minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, 3 Ducks has one of the best locations in town: friendly staff, small but comfortable rooms, clean showers and one of the cheapest, most social bars in Paris. The beds have thin mattresses and no curtains, but there are plenty of outlets, lights and small lockers; it’s super affordable, social and a great place to meet other travelers—my second‑favorite hostel in the city." - Matthew Kepnes
