MIJE

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.

I stayed here for one night and was pleased with my stay. This is a great place if you are looking for a quiet and calm place. I stayed in a dorm room which is pretty close quarters, but the layout is very cool and the one I stayed in had a bathroom and two showers and sinks within the room. I really liked how it is located in an old building with lots of history, and it had good vibes especially being in Paris. Sonya was working reception while I was there and she was very nice and helpful. The hostel also provides free breakfast which is simple but efficient. There are no luggage lockers within the rooms themselves, only a luggage room located on the first floor, so if you have things you really need to lock up, you have to go down every time to do so.

‼️There are many points which are very much away from truth like: 1) The interiors of the hostel is not like they show in the pictures , it is very old from inside. 2) No elevators. 3) They have weird rules like you can’t be in your room from 12 am to 3 pm which is absurd, I paid for the room for the whole day. 4) The breakfast is okayish , baguette, toast bread and sourdough bread with butter and jam . Marble cake , 2 types cereal. 5) fresh juice is plus with chocolate chaud and cafe. That’s it . No fruits no veggies no cheese. 6) If you are unlucky you will share the hostel with kids who run up and down and are very loud . 7) The toilets are out of the room for everyone hence it is shared by the rooms in the whole corridor and it stinks terribly. If location is your only priority then there is no worry but otherwise it’s an uncomfortable place to stay in.

Best hostel I ever stayed at! The interior is sooo pretty with bridges in between the rooms and a cute inner courtyard. The room was a two story room so it felt like there were less people in it than there actually were. I had a view on the Eiffel Tower from my room. The only thing that was bothering me is I was on one of the top floors which in itself is super nice cause the staircase is very cute too, but in the mornings when everyone was showering there was only cold water left. So shower at night or very early. Staff was super nice! Breakfast was included which is a plus, but nothing special. It’s good though if you need to have a quick morning.

There is nothing in the room, thankfully a bed to sleep on. I was living in a shared room space, the beds are literally merging into one other, so sense of privacy or anything. NO WIFI in the room, which century is this? when I asked they said its too inside, NO CHARGING ports only usb ports with slow charging. The front lady was nice but this is something she doesn't have control over, this is something for the hotel management to see. I was in another dorm for 2 nights and that were far too good than this at the same price.

The location is superb, and the staff is very helpful. But the rooms themselves are small. The hostel welcomes groups of schools students which can cause it to be too noisy at times. There is no shared kitchen or even a fridge/freezer where you can store leftovers etc.

Main question|Why a place like this is sold on website and open to bookings for individuals?|It should be a place for groups of students, young people. This is not a hostel for everyone. This is a place for students. And to them should be reserved.|Students house usually are not listed on booking for example. But it seems a greedy matter. Prices around the area are out of control so they charge you little less with zero services. |But If you charge quite high money for a single room be prepared to some critiques.|First of all:|Dear Jarek if I arrive some time before check in and i tell u “I know it’s early but in 10 minutes is gonna be the time” you don’t have to point that 12 minutes are missing because you incite me to be pedantic and unpleasant. And really you are talking to an adult, not a student.|No Lift/elevator in the building. Which is old beautiful outside pitoresque and bla bla bla but there’s no lift and i didn’t read written anywhere. Like it’s not pointed out very clearly that towels are not provided. You can buy them. But again, maybe who booked a single room could get one free of charge.|Pillows are terrible and uncomfortable. They seem made of some plastic ready to explode. |Breakfast: quite poor. No need to add anything more.|Place to avoid if you are over 18. And to be on a budget go to a real hostel.

Mixed feelings Stayed here for 4 nights. Loved how central it was to point Marie or Saint Paul station. The reception people were nice. However there was no towels, no hair dryer, the heating system didn’t work and the USB port didn’t work. Bring portable charger or an extension cord for multiple outlets. Breakfast was nothing sustainable. The bathroom had mould. Had to wait for showers and bathrooms. Downstairs shower had no door 😅
