This place is in a terrible neighborhood, off of a terrible subway stop. There are drug dealers and pick pockets everywhere. Just stay away. The staff member I dealt with named Victor is a scam artist and will take your money any chance he gets. He would not honor my reservation even though I paid a deposit. He would only... more

Nice!

It's nice, clean, and it's the cheapest thing you gonna find in Paris, plus it's located in Montmartre and next to a metro station more

Overall I am pleased with staying at "Friend's Hostel". For small price I had nice room, clean bed, common kitchen, separate locker room (called "looker room":) and friendly staff. Only problem was the noise. Hostel is located in very crowded area of mostly Arabic People (who were brazen few times) and next to crossing of 2 big boulevards with a... more

I've stayed in many youth hostels. This one is the worst ever, and I will never stay here any more. One thing is that you have to move around and around all the time. The second is that the staff are not very nice. It looks that their only purpose is to get money from you and don't care about... more

It is a cheap hostel, but I was a bit disappointed of the rooms. The room that I was in there were 6 beds. The room was small and there was also a small bathroom. I would not advice people who have claustrophobia to go there...it is really tiny. One of the best advantage is that it is near a... more

After having read some very critical comments about Friend's Hostel I feel kind of obliged to give my personal view as well. I did not have any of the problems that other travellers seem to have experienced. The neighbourhood is not a tourist area, it is rather one of those authentic city quarters that don't expose themselves to visitors but... more

Average hostel, I wouldn't recommend it if you are travelling alone: the neighbourhood can be quite intimidating. Careful if you are travelling with valuable items: no lockers, only one key per room... However, rooms are spacious, 6 bed dorms have a shower ensuite, the terrace is nice to talk to other travellers, and it is quite clean. You get the... more

The hostel is in a junky area, there are suspicious people outside and it is extremely noisy. We booked a room for 14 people and we slept in a garage, outside from the hostel with no windows and no heating. They have really big problems with organising rooms and are always moving people from one room to another. I will... more

I had read several reviews on Tripadvisor before I stayed at the Hostel and to be completely honest they left me terrified!! However, I was pleased to find it a lot better than I had anticipated. Don't get me wrong it is most definately basic and is not in the nicest part of Paris but for what I needed it... more

near the train station & centrally located. there's a basement where you get your rock hard bread. i stayed in 4 person room with 3 great strangers that turned out to be great travel buddies. it's very basic. if you just need a place to sleep and put your stuff for cheap, this is it. this ain't no fancy place.... more
