This place managed by a maniac, Celine, is so overly priced when taken under consideration, she runs the place as a jail house. Years ago was operating with the same mafia in the Tourist Information Center at Ave. Champs Elisses, (closed now). Which used to send everyone, claiming it was the cheapest hostel in Paris at only 18.30 euros per... More

This place was Terrible. The stairs are the only way up to the rooms,so prepare to struggle with your luggage. Some thing we worried about was the storage room which is not locked or supervised so any one could easily take your stuff. The rooms have no redeeming factors.Our plugs didn't work. My friend had some of her clothes stolen.Absolutely... More

The only reason I would recommend this hostel is if you have an early train and you need somewhere to sleep for a few hours. I highly recommend locking your bags in the train station before checking in, since the stairs are narrow, steep, and the only way to get to your room. (Make sure to bring up to 10... More

Dirty, very unfriendly, they wake you up and walk into the room WITHOUT KNOCKING (I happened every morning!!!). Just bad, bad. More

This is a breakfast inclusive rate, which we did not have. Climbing 4 floors... More

I was cornered, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a male STAFF member at this hostel. Prior to this incident, my friend and I felt stuck having to stay there after we already pre-booked. Shortly upon arrival we discovered... More

I stayed at the Blue Planet because I had caught a plane from Liverpool to CDG and I needed to get to Dijon from Gare De Lyon. As I arrived very late, I had to wait for a train in the morning. I had done some research and the only Hostel (in fact any kind of accommodation not charging 50+... More

This hostel is a mess. a) My sheets had been washed. I found out from a roommate AFTER my first night that either bringing or renting linens to go on top the fitted sheet is mandatory. The only reason I can imagine it being mandatory is that the fitted sheets are not washed. Furious, I went down to the desk,... More
