Do not stay here if you value your sleep. My husband and i booked a private double room, which was at the front of the building. The hostel is in the Latin Quarter, which means a raging party directly outside the room every nught until 4am. Obviously there is no AC, so in summer you have to keep the window open to avoid suffocating to death. Earplugs can only go so far. I barely slept for 3 days. Also, the hostel is very full of other guests, so using the kitchen facilities isn't easy, and breakfast (which is bread, cereal, and tinned fruit, nothing else), is always crowded. The room is also incredibly small, even by European standards. There was nowhere to put anything except the window ledge, so we were on top of each other any time we were in there. The bathroom is also little more than a closet. The shower operates only by pushing a button, which gives you 30 seconds of water, so you have to keep pushing it. And it was the most expensive accommodation during our entire 20 day trip. Really not worth it. Spend your money elsewhere.
