Auberge de jeunesse Maubuisson - MIJE Marais

Central location. The house is very run down. There is a shower in the room, but toilet is in the hallway, it would be much more sensible the other way around. Toilets are not equipped with sinks, and you have to touch several door handles before washing your hands in the room, which is not hygienic. No soap available. Some of the toilet doors are so warped that they don't even close. The bathroom is only covered from the room by a curtain, which was very dirty in our room. The light switch in the bathroom was already hanging halfway out of the wall. From 10 p.m. onwards, a night watchman monitors the quiet in the house. However, due to the old building structure, even going to the toilet is "too loud". The breakfast and common room is far too small for all residents. The breakfast is very meager, there is no cheese or cold cuts. One positive point is that the rooms and hallways are cleaned daily.

Such an impractical hostel, truly the worst Ive stayed in. I initially booked at a different Mije. I confirmed the address at the time of booking AND when I showed up. The address they give you at confirmation MAY NOT BE WHERE YOU STAY. When I show up to that location THAT I BOOKED, they instead sent me here with worse reviews. Be prepared, because this was without doubt, one of the worst hostels I have ever stayed in. There is no storage, locker, box, closet, whatever to store your items during your stay. So the room is cluttered constantly. The beds are small for bunk standards. There is ONE OUTLER PER ROOM of 7 people. And ours was located in the shower (no toilet) so you have to intrude on someone's shower to plug in or grab your device. There is no door for the shower room, just a curtain. No soap. The only soap is located in the toilet which is down the hall and the TOILET HAS NO SINK. so you have to get the soap next to the toilet and run to your room touching multiple door handles to get to the sink in your room. All just to wash your hands after using the toilet. So gross. NO WIFI IN THE ROOMS. NO KITCHEN TO USE. I understand this is an old historic building but for the price it is to stay here and how uncomfortable and inconvenient it is and how deceiving the booking experience is, the price should be MUCH LOWER. I cannot get over how ridiculous this place is. Seriously. Also, I'm noticing they keep mentioning a renovation to address these issues but I saw no renovation happening during my stay so be warned this place will continue to suck for quite awhile.

I enjoyed a very nice cozy little room for 80€. Exactly what I needed for a night in Paris. Clean and quiet.

Great hostel! Rooms are cozy and simple. Facilities were clean. Building is old but in a cute way, not a gross way. Was a chill and quiet vibe I definitely reccomend this place for introverts who want a relaxing place to decompress after a day about the city. Is tucked along a private side street in one of the most amazing parts or Paris!! Transit is super acessible, so many options for food within a short distance, and staff here were very nice!

One of the worst hostels I’ve ever been to. Was told on the day of arrival that the elevator was not working and that my room was on the 4th floor. Next the WiFi only works on the ground floor, and is extremely spotty. There is very little privacy in the rooms themselves (even for a hostel) and no locks or reliable outlets. No air conditioning whatsoever. Staff was unhelpful. The location is great and the building is rustic, but I would not recommend staying here.

very unhygienic, not cleaned and the whole room full of bed bugs. for 2 people only one plug to charge the cell phone. generally very unfriendly service and the food is below any standards, never had I eaten as bad as here. the location is good, but that's where it ends, you'll never see me again.

Thank you for a good time and breakfasts lol The mattress I got was lopsided tho lol one side way lower than the other… the bunk beds are hella squeaky Their kitchen/common room is very nice. They have no lockers in the rooms tho which is pretty risky. Their luggage room is also accessible by anyone. Also no charger sockets in rooms, you have to leave the light on to charge via USB at each bed, meaning you can’t charge overnight (unless you fight your roommate for the single wall socket lmao) But still would recommend for solo travelers, mostly for the good vibes and breakfast xD And very cute building and quiet location (yet still accessible to the busy le marais areas)

I slept two nights at this hostel and I enjoyed the stay. The bed might be too short for very tall people but the mattress was fine. The rooms are all cleaned in the afternoon which means one cannot stay in the rooms during that time. Would recommend this hostel! The street is very old and everything is close by.
