This was my first experience staying at a hostel and I loved it!! Traveling Solo woman I googled and read every review I could find and to make sure it was clean and safe and it was! For someone who only really was there nights, it was perfect! They held my suitcase all day in their safe so I didn't have to leave it in the dorm. They also have lockers you can put 50 cent in, create your own combo and leave for the day! It made traveling around Paris so much easier, knowing I didn't have to haul all the big things with me! Staff was amazing! They remembered my name so every time I walked by the staff would greet me by name! If youre wanting something thats clean and safe I would 100% recommend them!

Overrated hostel and never choose it again
Absolutely overrated. The staff and common area there are great. But the dormitory looks quite a different from the website. Then I checked with the previous comments and some said that there are bed bugs here. I don't know if it is true. But overall the dormitory looks horrible. Besides, there is no escalator here and I have to take my luggage uptairs with a lot of efforts. If I were going to Paris again, I would rather spend more money to find another accommodations. But I believe that I could find another better hostel with such price.

The reception staff was friendly and helpful. A set of clean sheets was placed on each bed and the bathroom was cleaned in the morning by employee. What I did not like is that there is no elevator and the wooden stairs are very narrow and winding, and difficult to manage with a heavy suitcase. When in the lower bed, one gets disturbed each time the upper bed occupant turns around as the whole bunk unit shakes. There were only 4 lockers for a 6-person room, and they were good only for valuables due to their small size.

Everything was unique Very clean, friendly, comforting, the staff was so nice and professional yet very attentive to the guest. The only bad thing about this property is you can’t stay longer than 7days per year which sucks because I stayed 7days and was leaving for Venice and was coming back few days later to Paris and wanted to stay there again for 2 nights and they told me I couldn’t which sucks. So there goes my year stay there I guess I won’t be going back maybe one day

The only reason I am not giving this hostel the lowest possible rating is because the staff were helpful and the price is good for the location. HOWEVER, IT IS INFESTED WITH BED BUGS!!!!! My bites did not appear until half a week after my stay, but after reading reviews from other customers who also got bitten, and seeing the lack of hygiene in this hostel firsthand, I am convinced that the bites came from this hostel. It is clear that the rooms, let alone the beds, are not regularly maintained, and there is this dank mustiness to the room the moment you step in. In addition, the bathrooms and showers are only located on ONE level of the hostel, and there is only ONE sink there (although there is one sink in each shared room). As such, going to the bathroom in the middle of the night is a feat, and if you're trying to get ready during peak bathroom hour in the morning, good luck. Also, on my first night, one of the showers did not drain. It was disgusting. Thankfully, it seemed to have been fixed after the first night. I should have read all the reviews before I booked this. It is a good price for the location, but the lack of cleanliness and subsequent trauma from bug bites is NOT worth it!! Stay somewhere else.

Rue de Mouffetard is a fabulous location if you appreciate historic neighborhoods. Dragging luggage up cobblestone medieval streets however is a challenge, if you are a backpacker - no problem. Tiny, narrow, winding staircase up to dorms, leave your bags in storage on the ground floor! Love this lively location but will never stay here again in the warmer months - horrific heat on the upper levels, no fans, minimum ventilation and noisy street below. Sleepless night due to heat and noise from open window ( due to summer heat ). Do NOT purchase their breakfast which is a rip off. You will get a much better meal & deal - elsewhere in just about ANY cafe or boulangerie. Staff was friendly, helpful and professional.

They canceled my reservation
I had a prepaid reservation with a confirmed late check in. There was a train delay. I emailed the hostel and looked at my reservation to make sure a late check in was guaranteed. It was. So I didn’t worry until I got there and I had no room. They canceled my reservation and there were no rooms. They couldn’t do a refund because the manager was on holiday. I’m still waiting to hear if I’ll get a refund.

Blame Corporate
The place has kind workers and decorations giving it a fun vibe, but despite this policies made the property function like a love-less factory and they have monitored everything possible. Not the place to be if you are averse to rules. The breakfast was a joke - just bread and juice/coffee. The bunk bed in my room had less than 2 ft of clearance, so you'll hit your head. The bathrooms are only on 2 of the 5 levels - no elevator. The Latin quarter/5th arrondissement is a great place for stree-side restaurants, bars, and cafes. The hostel is kept very clean, workers are helpful for trip planning, and there's a few places to congregate.

Great location, great room and great staff
This hotel is great for its own decoration and the transportation nearby. At least in my single room, I feel very comfortable and nothing could match the joy of totally relaxing inside the room after an intensive tour trip in Paris through out the day. Many famous destination in Paris are easy to reach because of the hotel's great location. The staff were wonderful and English-friendly. If there was anything left to be desired, it could be the noisy pub down the street at night sometimes, as well as the sound from the toilet next door could be clearly heard whenever someone use it at mid-night.

I loved the atmosphere at Young and Happy and the room was also comfortable and clean. The staff were very nice and I found that the hostel provided everything I needed. The location on the Rue Mouffetard was buzzing every night with activity. There were many wonderful restaurants and sites nearby, and the hostel was easily accessible from the airport from the Luxembourg stop on the RER line B.

This hostel is in a great neighborhood, close to many restaurants and bars. It's also only a few blocks from a metro station that puts you five minutes away from the heart of the tourist area.

Nice hostel, but just one thing....
I had a very good experience in this hostel, i met a lot of people from another contries, friends for the rest of my life. All the experiences was good! just one thing that really made me mad.. I stayed in a 6 shared room.. and there was only two PLUGS in a room, and only one was working. That was really terrible because everyone wanted to use the plug to charge their cameras or phones. that was the only bad experience i had, but the rest was very good !
Response from sabine on Dec 19, 2015
hello, thanks for your feedback. We are aware of this and hope to include more plugs for a next refurbishment. se you son ! In meantime, many ones are at your disposal in the lounge or lobby room. See you soon !

Very small and too few toilets
The major positives about this hostel are the friendly staff and the great location. Other than that I wouldn't recommend it. It is in a tall, narrow building and the rooms are very small with many beds. There is no where in the room to really store your things and the bunks are close together and very flimsy. There is only 1 level with toilets in it. Since I was on the 4th floor I had to trek 2 floors down to go to the toilet and the same for the shower though they are on both 1st and 2nd floor. My bed was in the corner of the room in the top floor. Because the roof slopes my face was inches from the ceiling and I hit my head a lot. It was very cheap but I will not be staying there again.

dear guest thanks for your feedback it is very important. sorry you didn't enjoy more your stay. in fact the narrow building is a Parisian one and very difficult to have more space. however in some dorms we managed to add lockers and ensuite bath for your comfort. At this time and all along the year, you benefit from special prices and we are a good value for money in the Latin Quarter for many guests who want to spend a night in the heart of the city. Let us know if we could do something for you and we'll be happy to make your new stay more enjoyable. The Manager

Hello thanks for your review. In fact, the building is a typical Parisian one with no lift, no lift in Paris in such a flat. I understand you were in room 1 (we don't have 101) so on the first floor. Now wifi workd into the dorms. We hope to welcome you once again. The Manager

Disliked: Cleanliness
I only stayed at Young & Happy overnight while I waited to meet up with family, but I had a great stay. The people were fantastic and it has a great atmosphere where it's easy to meet fellow travelers-I certainly met some characters! It's true that in a room for 6 there is only one outlet, but in the basement hangout/breakfast space there are power strips. I can't rate the showers because I was there for such a short amount of time, but the bathrooms seemed decently clean. Also, can't forget, GREAT neighborhood with plenty of places to eat and drink, and right next to a grocery store. It's also not far from the main tourist attractions.

Great little hostel
This hostel had a great atmosphere. The staff were great and knowledgable about the Paris attractions. The small nature of the hostel was perfect for meeting people. My only complaint is that they had a bit of trouble keeping the communal washrooms stocked. Overall a great place to stay!

Only Location and staff are good
Only Location and staff are good. However, the hostel has no elevator. Also. the building is old. there is no power outlet. Wifi is available only close to the reception counter not in the whole lobby and not available as well in the rooms. There are no fans in the room, just open the windows. Also, the rest room is filthy all the time. No mix water in the showers only hot.

Hello Thnaks for your review. In fact the building is a Parisian one and you won't find any lift in that kind of flat. We now have wifi into the dormitories and i assure cleanliness is done from 11am to 4 pm everyday, so sorry if you didn't enjoy more your stay with us. The Manager

nice, friendly staff, but extremely noisy
The staff is very friendly there. I've overslept check out time and checked out an hour later than it was expected and everyone was fine with it. The location is good - it is easy to get to the very centre and there are lot's of pubs and restaurants on the street. BUT it is extremely noise at night, because of this pubs and about 6:30 a.m big vans come to collect the garbage and they actually make unbelievable noise. So, if you care about the quality of your sleep or have any sleep disorders I would not recommend to stay there. However, I'm quite a "heavy-slepper", so the noise disturbed me partly. Also, there was just one plug in the room for 6 people, which was obviously not enough. Despite all that I had a pretty lovely stay in this hostel.
Response from sabine on Jan 3, 2015
Hello In fact plugs are more in the lobby where you cand find many ones. Then, we are located in the Latin Quarter and Rue Mouffetard is one of the most student lively street of Paris with bars and restaurants so that's why our guests come here to enjoy the city night life Let us know if you come back.

El personal se equivocó en ubicarme en el Hostel y aún así me trataron mal. Además de tener una mala experiencia con las compañeras de habitación que me atacaron a mi sin yo tener culpa. Además del mal momento y de reubicarme a altas horas de la noche (23.30) no recibí una buena atención como recompensa de su error.

Super pour passer mes examens.
Situé à proximité du lieu de mes examens, pour mes études. Bon accueil, ambiance très sympathique, musique de qualité variable au guichet. Réveillé par mes camarades de dortoirs qui rentraient tard, mais je m'y attendais. Chambre vide en journée, idéal pour réviser. Wi-fi très bon, même au dernier étage. Plein d'endroits où manger à proximité : supérette bio, marché, vaste choix de restaurants. Quartier magnifique à deux pas du Panthéon.
