   • There was a disgustingly racist french lady harassing a Chinese tourist, and the staff do not really care.

   The vibe here is not nice, and it is not clean. You cannot lock the 'lockers', and the showers do not have proper doors. The bathroom light did not work, and the floor was a swamp. There is no access to the kitchen allowed, not even to get some water yourself. The staff are dismissive, and do not allow backpacks to be stored there despite advertising luggage storage. There was a disgustingly racist french lady harassing a Chinese tourist, and the staff do not really care. I do not recommend.

   • On multiple occasions I witnessed very poor hygiene practices. For example, a new guest was once assigned a bed that had clearly not been cleaned after the previous occupant, with unwashed sheets still on it.

   The location is average: not great, not terrible. It is slightly far from my standards in terms of distance to the metro, but there is still a station relatively nearby, so the hostel remains reasonably connected to the city of Paris, even though it is in the city of Ivry. I stayed at this hostel in Paris for 9 nights and overall my experience was very bad. Unfortunately, cleanliness is the biggest issue. On multiple occasions I witnessed very poor hygiene practices. For example, a new guest was once assigned a bed that had clearly not been cleaned after the previous occupant, with unwashed sheets still on it. When this was pointed out, the staff simply moved the same dirty sheets onto another “clean” bed. The guest eventually had to request fresh linens and make the bed herself. In general, cleaning staff would every time place used sheets on clean beds in empty bunks, which made me request that my own sheets be changed in front of me. The bathroom situation was also problematic: there was only one shower for an 8-person room, which is far from sufficient. It was consistently dirty and poorly maintained. On the staff side, one male receptionist was overly familiar and intrusive. Every time I returned my room key, he would ask personal questions about my day, where I was going and if I needed anything. He also accompanied me into the room a couple of times and would open the door for me even after several days of my stay, when I was already familiar with the hostel. On a few occasions he even entered the room without knocking while I was resting (even when I just had a shower once), asked if everything was okay and then left after a brief exchange where I pretty much said nothing in order not to let him room for conversation. While likely intended as “helpful”, the behaviour felt uncomfortable and excessive. Security was also a concern. The luggage storage is a locked room, but access appears poorly controlled, with no clear verification of ownership when retrieving belongings. This made me feel uneasy leaving valuables there and I ended up carrying my laptop with me on checkout day for safety reasons. Overall, serious improvements are needed in cleanliness, hygiene standards, staff boundaries and security management.

   Don’t do what I did and not listen to these reviews on google and other booking sites, after booking a room and arriving at 11pm I was given some bulshit story that booking.com had cancelled my booking, I have confirmed with booking.com that this was not true and they have given me a refund with a 25 euro extra when this company tried to steal my money

   I didn’t love this place. Not a good hangout area, i didn’t even get a key to the door of my room, anyone could walk in at any time, no details or emails about the property, not very clean, didn’t smell nice. It is the cheapest hostel in Paris after all. I only stayed to sleep and leave.

   DO NOT BOOK. Dead mouse from May 13th until beyond my checkout may 16th AND I told a staff about it. Disgusting, uncleaned facilities. Broken showers. System issues - told upon arrival no reservation, was told on last night that I had no rezo & had to show my booking confirmation as proof. Was told that I changed my bed, I said no & staff insisted I was lying. Someone came back one night to someone else in their bed. Creepy men on loud phone calls all night. Door & window didn’t lock/close

   Nothing there was nothing likable and the pic on booking app are also fake or old it’s way too different in a bad way Everything , it was not clean, it was stinging. The staff charged us extra, no hot water shower, no locks on the washroom doors. In fact there was nothing good we were about to cancel our trip because of the accommodation. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

   Do not recommend to book this Trendy Hostel in Paris!!! Today 3/2/2026 after my bad experience here. I booked my stay via Booking.com website didn't show selections of Female or Male Dorm arrived early morning 7am+ but staff told me that I had mistake by booking the wrong dorm and right now no available for Female dorm. Are you ok to sleep in Male dorm? We say we are ok with it because no choices but around 2pm+ suddenly told us management not allowed Female to sleep in Male dorm. I also show him that my Booking.com just show (Single bed in Dormitory Room) didn't show any selections of Female or Male dorm. After all, I asked him then how about my paid payment etc? Can you refund me, he say no!!! What kind of logic...I'm thinking is it a trick for tourists. How can be no females beds and show availability in the website Yet my booking is non-refundable!!! Last mins 2pm+ faster searching hotel nearby here. No solution and glad I didn't go out & come back in the night to receive this bad news. Here attached my proofs of arriving and my waiting... Really hopeless and first encounter in our life.

    Horrible place. I had my earrings taken off while I was asleep and robbed. There is no privacy so you are sleeping with at least 10+ other people in the room. There are multiple people sleeping in the lounge area overnight as well. The price and reviews speak for itself and what type of people you are going to be surrounded by. I have more to say but my review was censored. You let people from other countries in and this is the result.

    The Receptionist or Employees were agressive and not welcoming and Did not allow me to get me in my Room that I payed for. I want to have my money back because Trendy Hostel, administrative who worked there for last 2 years Female was suppose to give me Room Door key enter Card but she did not allow me in the Room and my Bag was throwed outside the Room and my Mobile was robbed and also She started recording a video without my Permission. Very unprofessional employees it seems they are waiting to attack the Clients. I wish to have my money back. This is complaint i am launching to Booking.com please remove this Trendy Hostel from your Search List. In the End i Have to call the Police on 13 th Feb at 10.35 am from Trendy Hostel. Paris France.
