Young And Happy Hostel

El hostel tiene una excelente ubicación, está en pleno «Barrio Latino» lugar ideal si sos joven y te gustan los bares y restaurantes.
Los servicios están bien, a la habitación le falta limpieza debajo de las camas y enchufes en los baños el desayuno bastante completo y la atención es genial.
Cuando hacés el check in te dan unos tapones para los oidos ideales para no escuchar los ronquidos de otros compañeros.
Te recomiendo el hostel si tenés pensado visitar paris!

Really cheap and clean hostel with a 24 hour bar open downstairs. The rooms are small but provide enough space to sleep and shower. In the middle of the Latin quarter so there are many bars and restaurants nearby. Close to the pantheon and notre dame!

Paris hostels are notorious for their lack of comfort and extreme efficiency but I have to say this place barely lives up to the amenities they offer. WiFi is slow and goes in and out. Bathroom toilets do not flush, smells foul.
Half of the staff was friendly while the other half was not. I would never book again as during the rest of my travel’s I found that although standards of hostels are low in Paris, they are not this low. Book this place if you only need a place to crash as the neighborhood is great and close to metro.

Good, not great. The place is cheap and very well situated. The strong smell of cleaning products every day was not so good.
The receptionists were all very friendly. The kitchen area was quite dingy and the 10 bed room was a real trek up four levels.

Its a cheap hostel in the Latin Quarters. Its a 5 minute walk from the metro station, Place Mongue. Its 10 minutes away from the Pantheon/​Notre. You cant expect a 5 star treatment or atmosphere because its home to students, backpackers and people who are staying for a while and need a cheap arrangement.
The front desk person (I forgot his name) is very cheerful and knows a ton of languages. I checked-​in with him and he told me where my room was and about the WIFI (only access on the lobby and ground floor where the kitchen and lounging area is). Toilets are in every floor and there is a shared shower in your room (but I think they have different options as to what kind of room you are sharing or staying at). The prices vary according to that. I stayed in a bunk room with three other room mates and it was a good decision on my end since I befriended one of the roomies and she really helped me out figuring out my way across Paris metro and different places I wanted to visit. I definitely recommend this place if you are on a budget and want to meet people.
P.S: They serve breakfast from 8:30 to 9:30 which is really nice (croissants, orange juice, coffee, cereal — a good mix). They charge extra for towels and you can store your luggage for a small fee even after you check-​out and want to explore the city without having to drag your stuff around.

My favorite budget place to stay in Paris.
Ideal:
In the Latin Quarter
Near plenty of non-​pricey restaurants and cheap drinks with locals
Minutes from the Metro — Place Monge
Kitchen downstairs with a supermarket next door but a generous breakfast in the morning.
Remarkably well-​spoken-​English-​staff (for those who don’t trouble to learn the local — beautiful — language)
Inexpensive

Looks can be deceiving, especially in the case of Young & Happy Hostel.
By the look of the charming little lobby, accompanied by an equally adorable surrounding neighborhood, this hostel seems to be everything you could ask for for a quick stay in Paris. However, quality seems to decrease as the floors rise.
Small and sparse are a few words that come to mind when reminiscing on my Parisian place; very few bathrooms and showers (along with transparent windows!) are found between the incredibly narrow staircases, and faulty wifi and overall service also amplified my ever-​increasing disappointment. Moreover, my friends and I had paid ahead for an mixed 4-​person room for the three of us; however, when we arrived, we were told that we would have to be split up between two different 4 person bedrooms. If we had known this would have been the case before we had paid for the room, we would have booked stays in cheaper, 8-​person mixed rooms; unfortunately, we were told we had no say in this after we had paid. Moreover, wifi is sold for a euro/​half hour, 2 euro/​one hour, and 3 euro/​two hours — but, reception will not tell you that wifi only works in the lounge. I was able to get my money back because my wifi did not work at all, even in the reception area!
When the rest of our traveling friends joined our three person party our second day in, the five of us moved to an 8-​person mixed bedroom. This room ended up being a decent size, but had one big set back: the lock for the door was broken. Therefore, we could not enter our room with our own room keys, but instead had to either keep the door propped open when going in and out, or have a receptionist come and let us in to the top-​floor room. Needless to say, one thing that is highly valued in any hostel is safety and security. a faulty door lock, with all of my valuables — not to mention myself! — at risk?! I don’t think so!
Besides the simple breakfast buffet that was offered for an hour and a half, I was not very impressed by our accommodations. However, one receptionist was helpful, and allowed me free wifi for a half hour once I finally did get my network diagnostics all figured out. And, the crappy quality did push me to explore the streets of Paris more — can’t really complain about that!

Great location — right along the metro line, and the hostel itself sits along a cute little street with a market and lots of cafes. The people at the checkin desk speak very good English too.
However, they did not provide us with bed sheets at first (even though they said they did), and there weren’t enough bathrooms so the line to use them got fairly long in the morning. They could be kept a lot cleaner too. Also, I wish they had lockers in the rooms so I could secure my things better.
The low cost was good, though, and they provided a free breakfast in the morning (consisting of bread and coffee).

A pretty standard hostel with nothing too special about it aside from its locale and godo price. My sister and I ended up here because it was our only option after wandering around Paris with our backpacks looking for a place to stay. We were going to pay to use their internet to try to find another hostel when we happened upon a group of our friends from university so we decided to stay the night. They technically don’t allow you to bring your own alcohol into the rooms and it was not the cleanest place (especially the bathrooms). Being in the Latin Quarter right off a picturesque Parisian square, a quick walk from the sites and next door to a little market makes up for most problems you may have with the place (my sister and I lovingly called it Young and Crappy).

4 stars and these are some of the reasons why (if not all):
— In the Latin Quarter
— Cheap
— Warm showers
— Kitchen
— Line 7 is a few minutes walk
— Small mom and pop stores, bakeries, boutiques, flower shops, meat shops, as well as café and restaurants along Rue Mouffetard.
— 10 minutes from the Pantheon/​Notre Dame/​Luxembourg Garden by foot
— 15 minutes from the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay by foot
— Minutes by Metro to Tour Eiffel/​Arc de Triomphe/​Champs-​Élysées
— Very warm and knowledgeable staff (Joaquin).
I was in the 3^rd floor when I stayed here. I roomie with Punky from Estonia, who’s taking her masters in psychology and she was in a conference when I met her. We only had two beds in the room, which was perfect. Our room was overlooking Rue Mouffetard so we see the action that lasts in the wee hours of the early morning.
The showers were a little bit unkempt, which is expected in a coed shower. I bring flip flops when I travel, so this isn’t a problem to me. The showers are a bit small too, but when you’re like me traveling from Southern California to the cold regions, your appreciation is satisfied only by a warm shower.
The kitchen is very clean. They had free breakfast — croissant, hot chocolate and orange juice. There were supermarkets, meats and fromage shops as soon as you step outside. They didn’t have wifi so that could be a problem for some, but not for me. There’s a bar at the lobby area, and they have a storage room for luggages. Bare necessities of a backpacker. I think they charge you on towel rental, but I usually bring my own towel.
I would stay here again if I were to return to Paris.

Cette auberge de jeunesse est l’une des première à s’être installée à Paris, elle figure dans la plupart des guides, c’est dire.
Gros avantage elle est dans le quartier Mouftard, une vraie carte postale pour les touristes de passage à Paris.
Evidemment il y a une cuisine à disposition, des draps et serviettes sont en location, le petit dej est inclus, pas de couvre feu, mais les chambres sont fermées de 11H à 16H. L’accueil est bilingue et très sympa, les prix tournent autour de 25 euros.
