Auberge de jeunesse Fourcy - MIJE Marais

Wish we could have stayed another night and would definitely return. The location was fantastic. Clean and comfortable beds; nice ambiance and cool historic building. We had a private room which was spacious. Everything you need is in walking distance and the front desk staff are very helpful.

well location, nice staff, clean and reasonable price, suitable for both solo travelling and group travelling. Breakfast include but the room is a little bit hot inside because no fan. Everything is ok, and I like this hostel.

Very conveniently located in the Marais just around the corner of metro station Saint Paul (which connects you to many major sights in Paris) and Rue Rivoli with its miles-long bike lanes. Public bikes are easily available through various local apps. The hostel is located in a historic building, has a friendly & helpful staff with 24/7 surveillance at the entrance door. Bring your own towel or buy theirs for €6. Each room has its access card and there are no lockers available in the rooms. However valuables can be stored in safes at the reception. Toilets are on the corridors and would be shared with other rooms. Each room has its own shared bathroom with showers. Flip-Flops are strongly recommended. The rooms and shared facilities are cleaned daily. Despite that the bathroom of room 208 had a musty smell. Bring ear plugs if you need to cancel someone else’s snoring. The included breakfast buffet is very simple with a surprisingly bad coffee and each nearby bakery would provide better options. If you travel alone on a budget the hostel is a great option but I would instantly go for an AirBnB or hotel if you can share the accommodation cost. The hostel is apparently popular with classes from abroad so be prepared to hear (loud) voices of young students as they are gathering for their Paris trip in the courtyard in the morning.

Beautifully maintained historic building! Our family of 4 stayed in a room on the top floor amongst the exposed beams and curved ceilings. Easy walking distance to great food and landmarks.

The worst place you can stay, the smells are disgusting, the heaters don't work so it was cold all night, you don't feel safe with your things and we had to lock the door, there are no lockers in the room, they are not friendly at the reception and get to the room it is like a maze. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, you can really find something better for the same price.

Overall it’s a great place to stay, especially the area and building are wonderful. I traveled by myself and stayed two nights in a women’s three persons dorm.

Very very poor breakfast, alas. No soap, no shampoo, not even the simplest. The wi-fi doesn't work, it seems to be there, but it doesn't work. You see, travelers who are only 1-2 days in Paris rarely have towels, soap, etc. with them. Or who does not have a suitcase, but a bag and every gram on the account, a person will not bring a towel and shampoo)

When I arrived I thought it would be a great second experience in Paris, felt like the place be amazing, cause the architecture is really good looking and the guy that welcomed me in the reception (Louis) was so polite and friendly. Unfortunately I was terribly wrong! I couldn’t sleep because of terrible teenagers that were taking over the whole place, talking out loud xenophobic and mean stuff about me in french (That I do understand! Btw, you should know some brazilians are polyglots - and that’s my case!), those teens were pointless loud, disrespecting others personal space, they even tried to ENTER MY ROOM - and I do have it all recorded because I didn’t felt safe at all. And I didn’t felt like I could take a proper rest. That only stopped around midnight when one of the professors screamed at them to stop talking about other people because “even who speaks basic french understands what they were saying”. Well, that is on the hostel’s account, because they should let the guests know that there is a school staying there, it’s about honesty. I would never book my stay knowing there’s a whole school staying there in the same nights I’m there. And then, when I tried to talk with the security guard about changing my room to another building, he said there were school groups in all of the buildings 🤡 and they were booked a long time ago. So, why this wasn’t informed before? Let’s go to inconvenience #2? Woke up in the morning to have breakfast in the restaurant, it was before 9am. I couldn’t find any plates for me to eat, so I walked around the restaurant trying to find some. It was pretty much empty in terms of people, and there was some breads, cakes, cereals, coffee and stuff… but no small plates. So I only got black pure coffee and seated and waited for some staff to appear. When this guy appeared, I went on his direction and talked to him very quietly (once it was MORNING BEFORE COFFEE AND I AM POLITE) asking for him to give me a plate so I could eat, and then I pointed out for a pile of dishes but they were big ones. And this guy started to scream over me saying that the plates were only for dinner, and I should eat in the plastic tray 🤡🤡🤡🤡 (yes, not even my dog get to eat in such bad conditions! Someone page ANVISA). The few six people that were in the restaurant eating were starring at the situation cause it was bizarre, honestly! I was shocked first with such bad manners, and second how anti hygienic this is… I didn’t got anything to eat. But later that day I went on the reception to ask if the breakfast didn’t include dishes, and they said it supposed to have cutlery, dishes and stuff! Well, idk who is the wrong one. But, despite that, there was no fridge in the whole hostel, no clutery AT ALL - so one day I bought take away pasta and had to eat with my fingers 🤡, had to drink my stuff all warm! Oh! And the toilet? Omg!!! So disgusting, I think that thing haven’t seen a cleaning product in ages! 😮‍💨 I could write forever! You guys lie sooo much on your page… it’s crazy. Never recommending and NEVER staying there again. The only good thing was the Louis guy… In other hand, there is other hostel I stayed in Paris once - the name is Caulaincourt at Monmartre 🫶🏻 the staff is awesome, polite, everything is clean and they are AWESOME. Totally opposite of Mije Marais!
