Customer Reviews Paris - Le d'Artagnan

| Nice hostel! Location slightly far from the tourist attractions. | ||

| Directions are not perfect but once found, it was a decent location close to the metro. Security of our items were not the best however the since of security I had was very good. Had no feeling that I had to constantly check my stuff. Mattresses not the best but pretty quiet at night. Internet expensive for its poor quality. | ||

| The 'petit déjeuner' is way better than what you'd expect of a hostel breakfast! Rooms are good too. We stayed in a 2 person room with own shower for only 2 euro extra each. Sheets are included and only one of us had to buy the 7 euro membership card. Service is normal. A little far from the centre of Paris but that's solved by the nearby metro that goes until 1 o'clock and 'till 2 in the weekends. Good value for your money. | ||

| This is a great place to live for a budget traveler. We were there on the New Years eve and New Year day. The breakfast was great and the staff was very friendly. We paide only $140 for two of us for 2 days. It is only 20mins metro ride to the downtown. None of the food stores or cafe's are open after 8:00pm in the night. | ||
