MIJE

I took a group of university students for a film-centered study trip to France in early May 2025. I stayed there myself, as well. The location is absolutely unbeatable and seems quite safe. Our university has used this hostel almost every year for more than a decade. I find the personnel to be very nice. The only drawbacks would be lack of AC if in the middle of a summer heatwave (early May is lovely, no problem) and a few non-working outlets in the rooms. It's a charming building and has an elevator for accessibility. Like any hostel, there are groups of students who can be a little noisy, including my own students, no doubt, but the staff will help if it gets too loud after 10 pm. The WiFi was somewhat problematic -- easy to join but dropped the connection often. I'd love to see them address that as it happened to everyone in the group and to other groups that have come from our university. All in all, it's perfect for an affordable group trip. I'm a huge fan of this place!

This hostel is pricier than others, while the location is great they lack to provide the bare minimum. There’s no WiFi, only one charging socket and the ones by the bed don’t work. And on top of it, you cannot access your room 12-3pm everyday. I was sick and needed things from my room and I wasn’t allowed to do that nor do they have their own first aid or anything to help you. Quite disheartened with the quality of stay.

Stayed for three nights and had a decent experience. The solo room is enough for sleeping and recharging for the day. The wifi does not reach the room which is inconvenient. The breakfast is simple and does the trick. At the time I stayed there was an entire school there for spring break. They all slammed their doors late at night and were being very loud. It was a tough place to get a good rest and I felt like the staff didn't care. The location is central, which was great.

Beautifully located, lovely bars and restaurants right on the doorstep. We were four females in a private room, it was clean and just the space we needed for a one night stay. Efficient check in and check out process. Would visit again!

Very good location near the Seine and the city! But otherwise not that cozy hostel I have used to. The atmosphere is old and chilly. It's very quiet, no other hostel people anywhere in the public areas. Except loud middle school classes in the night speaking loudly for a while.

we booked for 3 nights and after paying they told us that due to a problem of theirs we would be in one room the first day and in another room the other two, telling us that we would have the second room from 3pm onwards and that the first room had to be vacated by 10am... even though it was their mistake they didn't even come to meet us. the rooms don't have a power outlet and to my complaint the answer was that they have USB sockets... too bad that now 80% of phones have USB-C... RUDE. place to avoid.

Originally booked at another place and on the morning of travel received message to say accommodation had been changed. Whilst this was nerve wracking at first with me being a first time solo female traveller, I was not disappointed. Rooms were clean, lady at desk was friendly, storage room for luggage saved me having to carry my backpack around everywhere with me, breakfast was a nice little addition, especially with the cost of food in Paris. Also lockers for valuable items available.

It’s dormitory for students. So it’s too noisy and crowded during breakfast and sometimes even the night as the floors are wooden.No locker in the room but you can leave your luggage on their luggage room at the ground floor which is I think safe especially if you’re on the 2nd floor & up. No lifts and elevator, it’s only stairs. The sockets near the bed were not functioning and no wifi in the 4th flr. They transferred me from 1st floor to the 4th floor on my last night..The free breakfast that’s included in the booking was just bread and juice or coffee. For me the location is very close to metro and 25 minutes walk to Louvre Museum that’s the reason I booked with them.

First of all, location, location, location, right in the heart of Paris and short walk to all the major sightseeing - Notre Dame, Picasso Museum, Isle de la Cite, Seine. Great place to stay if you are on budget, and in Paris for the first time. It truly helps the experience tremendously. The metro is literally a block down, AND it's the line you need to get to the Louvre. What else do you need? We had a private double room (a bunk) facing the courtyard, shower/sink in the room, bathroom next door - somewhat strange, but it's a hostel, so I don't have high expectations. There's a also a room with paid lockers to store you stuff as well if you end up sharing with a few people A couple things that take away a star, not everyone can stay here because there's an age limit, and there's also a curfew (1am). Otherwise, no better place to stay cheap and close to all the action. Book waaaay in advance (winter/fall) if you want to stay here in the spring/summer. Mije is a gem, and all who stayed there know it!

Staying at Mije Hostel has been rad! I won't repeat what others have already noted: the location is truly excellent; the rooms are simple but pleasant, the price is good, etc. The front desk attendant gives you a sheet of coupons that include discounts at restaurants in the Marais neighborhood (which has a great vibe, btw), and half-off boat tours! I think I brought a lot of my American prejudices to the breakfast experience. It's a very simple affair w/ coffee, juice, a pastry, and a segment of baguette, rather than the giant pancakes-and-sausage affair I'm used to. Also, when they say breakfast is from 7am-10am, they really mean it! 10am is not some kind of "last seated" time--they really expect you to be done and out of there by 10. We sauntered in at 9:57a and had to really wolf it down before they closed. Again, probably my own misapprehension.

My 5 star rating doesn't mean this place is the Ritz. It's a hostel. I've stayed in many hostels throughout the world and nothing I've experienced as far as hostels are concerned compares to it. My philosophy is that I prefer to spend my money outside of the place I'm using just to sleep and shower. As long as it's clean and in a decent neighborhood, I'm fine. Mije is clean, well run and centrally located. Mije is on the western end of the Marais a block from Rivoli and the Saint-Paul metro stop (line 1) which can connect you to the rest of Paris fairly easily. In a 30 minute walk, you can reach most of the well known sightseeing spots: Bastille, Notre Dame, Latin Quarter, Saint-Germain, Pont des Arts, etc. I first found this place in the 1980s. Booking was really not an issue back then but because of the internet, this place has become well known and you need to book months in advance if you plan to visit from April - September. Like all hostels, there is a curfew (1am). Though it is a youth hostel, there is no age restriction for adults. Those traveling with children under 6yrs will not be able to stay here. Some rooms have benches oddly placed next to the door. Be careful when exiting to avoid bruising your shin or knee. There is a restaurant onsite but since you're in Paris and you're saving a lot just by staying here, I suggest that you explore the city for plethora of amazing restaurants.
