For
context:
I
am
an
upper-20’s
solo
traveler,
experienced
in
backpacking/traveling.
I
stayed
here
for
4
nights
in
one
of
the
“individual
cabins”
of
5
square
meters.
Here
are
my
thoughts/feedback:
1.
I
arrived
early
to
the
hostel
-
around
09:00,
and
the
reception
person
was
EXTREMELY
helpful
and
gave
me
access
to
my
cabin
much
earlier
than
the
check-in
time.
I
was
exhausted
and
extremely
thankful.
2.
The
location
of
the
hostel
itself
isn’t
anything
noteworthy,
but
it
IS
very
close
to
the
Gentilly
train
station,
and
you
can
easily
get
into
Paris
on
the
train.
3.
I
would
say
the
average
age
of
those
hanging
out
in
the
common
areas
is
quite
young,
likely
in
the
teens/early
20’s.
4.
I
only
ever
ate
at
the
hostel
restaurant
one
time
-
a
salmon
salad,
but
it
was
really
yummy!
I
was
surprised
at
the
quality
of
it.
5.
There
is
no
laundry
on-site.
If
you
want
to
do
laundry,
you
must
find
another
facility.
6.
The
showers
closest
to
my
cabin
were
absolutely
disgusting.
There
was
nasty
yellow/green
grime
all
over.
It
made
me
feel
filthy
despite
taking
a
shower.
7.
The
cabin
I
stayed
in
was
disgusting
as
well.
There
were
crumbs
on
the
floor,
stains
on
the
sheet
I
was
given,
dried
dark
liquid
stains
on
the
walls,
etc.
I
was
uncomfortable.
8.
If
you
get
one
of
the
“individual
cabins”
-
do
NOT
expect
that
you
will
feel
like
you
have
your
own
room,
or
any
privacy.
You
do
not.
You
are
in
a
group
of
4
total
cabins
that
share
a
room,
your
“cabin”
is
crafted
by
basic
plywood.
You
can
hear
EVERY
little
creak,
movement,
etc.,
from
those
around
you
-
and
they
can
hear
you
too.
This
is
NOT
a
private
room
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination,
so
please
do
not
think
that
is
what
you
are
purchasing.
Also
note
that
my
bed
was
on
the
floor-level
because
the
cabin
next
to
me’s
bed
was
ABOVE
mine…
in
it’s
own
room.
They
are
stacked
beds
to
save
the
hostel
space.
9.
You
have
to
make
your
own
bed
upon
arrival,
which
is
something
I
was
not
previously
made
aware
of.
Overall,
I’m
giving
this
hostel
2
stars
because
of
the
amazing
reception.
The
lack
of
cleanliness
is
really
what
lowered
the
stars
for
me,
as
I
felt
everywhere
I
went
I
was
disgusted
by
the
dirt,
stains,
etc.
