easy to get to great people restaurants in walking distance had an enjoyable experience.

This really recommended in a good budget. They have a good staff and space is also good. But I didn't like a weird pictures every where in the hostel rooms and toilet doors but otherwise everything was spot on and very smooth.

Location in particular

Over all nice

Will be back

V nice

Pas la première et sûrement pas la dernière visite

Ma cabine était prête à mon arrivée en matinée j'ai pu y avoir accès et laisser mes bagages dès mon arrivée. Cabine douche toilette propres déco sympa. À quelques minutes de marche du RER. Cuisine et aires communes au top.

My favorite night was when hen there were breakdancers in the lobby - amazing!

Good for what we were paying for. Was charged twice by the staff and was not very accommodating and had to wait 40 minutes for the employee to issue my refund.

above and beyond..excellent

Ok

Comfortable stay

It was good comfortable stay, Staff is friendly.

Great stay, recommended and would come back.

Highly recommended. Great staff and facility. Location is in Gentilly, a fair distance from the center of action but it is very close to the metro station. Food outlets nearby. I had a "cabin" which I consider unique. It's a small enclosure so you have a tiny but private room. The bathroom is shared. I liked the facility and the cabin a lot and would stay here again.

The room was clean and spacious, bed was good too. Good breakfast!

Good

The area was good. It is only 1 block away from the metro station. Did not have a laundry room.

The staff made us wait at the lobby for over two hours to check in. They did not give us an estimated time on when a room would be available for us even though we booked our private room well over a month ago.

First hostel I’ve stayed at so I was a little nervous, but this hostel made me feel very safe. It was in a great location (close to the metro) and was very clean which were the two things I was most worried about.

The most unfriendly staff ever, from the front desk to the bar, not wanting to help and really rude. The building is nice though you can hear everything thats going on. Not thought for digital nomads (phone boot, isolatiin of sound)

This was surprisingly one of The best places I’ve stayed. I stayed in the double private room with the private terrace and it was awesome. The room was extremely clean and the terrace was huge had a really nice view of the Eiffel Tower, amd has a large day bed on it. The staff is very nice and helpful, there’s a great party vibe at night but if you’re not into that, you can retreat to your room and not hear any noise at all. The metro is a 3 Minute walk From the hotel and takes you very easily to the main attractions. Breakfast is continental and has a lot of options. My only complaint is that the bed was extremely, extremely hard which is a pretty important part of your stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again as long as I called before and

I’m not usually much for a hostel stay kind of person, but I didn’t want to pay $200 for one night stay in Paris before my flight, so I decided to try out this hostel. The photos looked cool, so I went for it. The place itself is very modern and stylish. I appreciated having a cabin room all to myself, having no windows makes it very dark and claustrophobic, but for one night stay it’s good enough. It can get noisy at times, but nothing unbearable. The shareable bathrooms/shower facilities are nice and clean. Best part was that it’s located 3 minute walk from the metro. I was taking the train yo to Charles De Gaulle airport and it was super fast and easy. Overall, great stay for a low price in Paris.

Really enjoyable solo travel experience

I stayed in a cabin which was ideal for a solo traveler although it is a bit of a hit or miss whether you get roommates who are like you (quiet or party etc) as with any hostel. I liked the cabin concept and the staff were very friendly. Despite the events going on down at the bar you couldn’t hear them upstairs. My only suggestion would be for the hostel to add a vending machine by reception for late night snacks and water.

My husband and I stayed for one night and were very disappointed in our stay. Upon arrival, we requested (and paid) for a late check out. We got to our room to find that it wasn’t clean and there were no towels anywhere. The room smelled strongly of urine. It was, frankly, disgusting. The front desk did help us with clean towels, but that was it. The next day our key cards abruptly stopped working. Come to find out, no one put our late checkout on our room. My husband had to stop and spending 45 mins getting new keycards. Finally, we were informed upon departure that our room would normally be about 45 euros per night. We paid over $100 usd. No one could (or would) explain the discrepancy in price. All and all, we were very disappointed in our experience and wouldn’t recommend or stay here again.

I was supposed to say about 6 nights but ending up staying none. When I arrived the staff were very nice but once I got up to my private room it was a sauna with no running air. I got a private room but had to use communal showers that were very dirty. Every toilet stall had no toilet paper, the floor and the seats of the toilet were filthy. It’s a long walk to get to the hostel from the metro with nothing to look at. It’s in a more residential area so you have to walk a good distance to get to the more major stores.

Can't rest well

Often very noisy even after 11pm. Difficult to sleep well. The security guard didn't act as he should when he found 2 people in a cabin room doing..

Convenient location

Like the area surroundings to explore, staff is attentive and courteous, room was too warm at first but when I had an upper floor room, it was nice, cool and quiet, away from everyone

Openness; ease of communication

Five stars!!!

This place is AMAZING. This is the weeworks of hostels.

A place confortable 👌, perfect ubícate, great service, good breakfast, I liked 👏👍

It was a great stay.

Happy

Happy

The property had a different event planned most nights and the onsite kitchen served amazing food.

Trendy old bird!

Loved it, refreshing and fun. The only comment I have is that we stayed as a family in one big room and my elderly mother could have done with a chair and the beds were very low for her to get up and down. I appreciate the hotel is not geared for ladies in their 80's but she's a trendy old bird!! Thanks again, Lindsay :)

I stayed in the Cabin one night and couldn't stay there any longer. It wasn't clear how it worked. I thought it was your own room, but it isn't at all. It's like being in a dormitory, only worse because there's no room to move around. There's also no privacy whatsoever as there's no sound barrier. I heard the guy in the cabin next to me talk on the phone for five or six hours (to 2 am in the night) to some girl. I used ear plugs, but that wasn't enough. There is also no anything about any return of funds. People were friendly and I think it would be a fine place. I just expected a private room with the cabin, but it isn't anything close to a private room.

Good for quick stays

I opted for the 'cabin' style room with a queen bed. I would strongly recommend packing your own towel and a pillow. While the bed itself was comfy, the pillow offered very little support or comfort, I ended up placing some folded clothing underneath it so I wouldn't have a sore neck. There also wasn't any temperature control so I ended up being quite hot.

Rad

It was a tad far for just walking around but the train is suuuper close. Totally would recommend this place for great price and over all stay.

Absolutely fabulous & amazing first

Everything was lively and fun! The rooms were clean, the staff was nice. Overall great service!

Very modern concept, clean place to stay. Great staff and service

The train station is just 2mins walk and evening show at the hotel ground floor/ Bar is very entertaining.

Terrible experience. Good bed and huge structure but lacks the backpacker experience.

One of the most beautiful and cleanest hostels I have ever been at. Definitely will come back.

This hostel sucks! The food and drinks are expensive AND the staff rarely picks up the phone when you call!! And the bed is nice BUT it’s made of wood and be careful so you don’t hit your shin on it cos it hurt! The kitchen is horrible! Backpackers please avoid this place! There are no activities! And you get easily bored if you are traveling alone!!

the card key problem....

Basically it is very nice. If you pay 5 euros, they can keep your luggage in the safety box and you can relax in the restaurant area or in the garden even before check-in time. But the problem can be the card key. We can use it for the electricity of the room. You insert this card and your room will gain the power. But imagine, if you stay with other strangers in the dormitory room, each schedule is different. So while you take shower, the one who has inserted his card left the room (of course, with his card, without it, he cannot enter the room), all of the light just goes off. You are left alone in the black shower room. I think that it might be for the environment, but it is too useless.........other than that this hostel seems perfect, so it's pity....!

Highly recommend!

Super convenient location, price and comfort. Very attentive staff. One of the best hostels I stayed.

Wonderful experience

I couldn’t have been happier with my hotel choice! My room was spacious, clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, AIR CONDITIONING and absolutely amazing staff. They were very helpful, and relatable. Definitely coming back for sure. Thanks for the excellent service!

The property is crazy. I liked it a lot. The ambiance is extraordinary.

Nice hotel with easy access to city center

Nice and new hotel very close to the RER train wirh direct and fast access to center. Given a new hotel the kitchen could need a cleanup and fixing.

Staffs are friendly they are trying to help me anytime the location is bit far away from the center which has many museums but it’s okay coz the RER line station is just 2minutes away. Amenity looks bit short They provided me sheet, blanket and pillow. So I highly recommend you to bring all you need to use in hostel. e.i. Body gel, shampoo, padlock(a locker’s default is open in there. You need to lock this yourself, if you want), towel, tooth brush&paste etc. But you can still buy these all at the reception, don’t worry. Dormitory beds have a curtain. Inside of it, it has light, power socket(usb,plug) and small net pocket. The hostel is pretty good in sanitary but in weekends it’s not. I recommend you this hostel It’s worth it

Great Hostel and Low Budget Hotel

This is a very affordable hostel on the outskirts of Paris. Secure on-site parking and easy access to the subway system. This is geared towards the young and single crowd, but our family felt welcome. Don't expect too much in the way of service, it's simply a clean and simple place to sleep. Also has a bar in the evening and breakfast in the morning.

We had a hard time finding a place for the 5 of us in Paris given the time that we were coming (Women's World Cup games), so we gambled on this hostel. We enjoyed our time and it was very different from places that we normally stay as a family (parents, kids 8, 11, 14). It had nice space for each bed (we had a private room for 5 with an individual bed for each person, locker/cabinet space, and a toilet/shower space) and would be great as a student or younger person traveling alone or on a budget-I'd recommend requesting bed 1, if I were an individual traveler as I think it had the most space. Cool vibe and fun environment; aimed at 20 something trendy crowd. Not sure if we would stay again as a family with children, but would recommend to younger, single friends looking for a good hostel recommendation-was clean and staff was very friendly.

Modern hip and family friendly

Super fun place to stay! Close to trains. A short ride to the center of the Paris action. The kids loved it!

The design of the rooms and walls was very unique The kitchen had been left quite dirty as the dishwasher was broken and people hadn't used the sink instead.

Location is not convenient

Location is not optimal. Need to use public transport to get to any tourist location. 0.30 to 5.30 - no public transport is available

The air_conditiin was working in my room so I could not sleep all night.

Positive : Is near to the RER (train station) with lift and the RER goes direct to the CDG airport. Negative : The common corridor is too dark. Paintings on the common corridor and bathroom is not visually appealing. Bath towels, shower foam & shampoo are not provided. There's no table in the cabin room. The power points are at the far end of the bed.

New, clean room but lack of some basic amenities

The hostel is new so it's very clean and has a youthful energy. However, I expected more for the price I paid. First of all, the check-in time is 15h but have to wait for 1 more hour to get to our room. They said due to some problems but didn't explain and tell us when we could have the room. We had to ask several times about it and were really tired because we couldn't just go and come back without clear information. They didn't show any effort to help either (checking out on the guest to see how they're doing or offer a drink could be nice). Secondly, the room has nothing but a bed and a bathroom, no shelf, no chair, no table, not even a hook to hang our coat. We booked a private double room, and even with the very basic needs, a sole bed is not enough for a room. The room was very spacious with some weird, empty corner which can be easily filled with a shelf, but no, nothing. We had to lay our stuff on the floors and around the bed. The good parts are the room is soundproof (quiet), the shower is good, but the sink is terribly small (even washing hands can make the water splash to the floor), the location is close to centre (but be careful with the RER system, the T+ ticket cannot be used in zone 2, you should use the Mobilis ticket, much more convenient)

New Concept Hostel, Wonderful!

Amazing new Hostel Hotel concept Wonderdul Staff a d atmosphere! I was their first client and they help me alot after I got rob at the Charles De Gaulle airport waiting for my plane to Mexico. It definitely worth to sleep there and enjoy their Fantastic roof top terasse! A place to see and sleep in Paris Jo & Joe Hostel Magnifique!

Nice place

Awesome place to stay in Paris if you are traveling solo or with friends. The decor is over the roof and the staff were really helpful. A pleasant bunch!

Very very cute!!!! Trendy and nice, very very comfortable. Staff was also super nice and easy to communicate with as a non french speaker. Only things I found kind of annoying were silly little things. Lights in the rooms are aesthetically pleasing but not super functional, however daylight made it easy to see. Strongly recommend.

Gostei tanto que voltei pra mais uma noite! Lugar excelente

Quarto cabana

Foi otima, fiquei no quarto cabana, e foi maravilhoso, ponto negativo é ouvir o povo se mexendo, mas isso ai é ok, o hotel em si é otimo tambem, tudo muito limpo e organizado

Un excellent séjour

Service au top pour un accueil pourtant tardif. J’étais en « cabine » c’est vraiment une formule intéressante qui évite la promiscuité des dortoirs. Je recommande

Boa

Nao tive nenhum problema, ficaria de novo

Accueil agréable mais évitez la fonction parking c'est de la sous traitance et oubliez la proposition de recharger votre voiture électrique sur place. Privilégiez le chargeur de la 1ère rue après la station RER.

Sehr schmutzige Betten mit Krümeln, Papier und Haaren von vielen Menschen vor uns. Abflüsse die verstopft waren. Staub sehr hoch und sehr schmutzige Fenster. Das erste Zimmer war belegt und wir haben die Schlüsselkarte für ein 4er Zimmer bekommen. Waren auch zu viert. Geht gar nicht. Nie wieder und nicht zu empfehlen. Frühstück 10,80€ für Mini Croissant und Brötchen sowie 1 Wurst und Käse. Nein viel zu teuer dafür. Wir werden dieses Hostel nicht noch einmal buchen.

リーズナブル！ 暖かいパンの朝食はgood!! メトロの駅から近く満足です。

ホステル自体は清潔だし、スタッフもフレンドリーで快適でした。 加えて駅からもそう遠く無く駅からのアクセスは悪くありません。スーパーマーケットの類は少し離れています。 一方で、周辺はパリ郊外らしい治安で、僕自身は危険を感じなかったものの、夜中は男性の僕ですら出歩きたく無い雰囲気のエリアです。 また、パリ市外エリアという事でメトロの料金が市内が4€なのに対して6€かかるし、時間も中心部からは30分程度かかる点は考えようです。 でも立地を除けば、トイレもシャワーも綺麗だし、外には出れない代わりに中庭では皆楽しそうに遊んでるしで、何を優先するかではありますがとても良いホステルでした！

Nice, modern hostel / hotel. We had a family room which is ideal for family of five persons

Très bon séjour

Très bon séjour chez JoandJoe Personnel accueillant et aimable. Toujours serviable

J’y ai séjourné que pour la nuit pour prendre l’avion de Orly au petit matin, mais j’y retournerais pour un plus long séjour. Très bien. À 10-15 minutes de marche de l’arrêt du Orlybus. Seul petit bémol: il n’y avait pas de lumière dans mon cubicule (en dortoir).

Super

Bon séjours

Séjours très agréable comme d'habitude. Personnel aimable et serviable

The bathrooms could have been cleaner. The showers had small specks of mold especially near the ceiling. The cabin was nice but I wish the mattress would have been a little more comfortable.

Très bien 👍.

Très bon séjour. Bonne expérience dans cet établissement. Restauration sur place grande terrasse et Happy hour.

Très bon séjour

Très bon séjour Je reviens régulièrement pour des séjours car très pratique avec accès proche RER et Paris

Escapade à Paris

Séjour parfait, hôtel propre. Bon accueil. Ambiance sympa

Good personal and good space, very comfortable, close of the train station and pretty ambient

Paris

Accueil correct Mais bruyant dans les chambres manque de civilité des autres clients parlant fort ou écoutant leur telephone films ou autres sans ecouteurs en pleine nuit. Pas de papier wc dans les toilettes de la chambre . Petit déjeuner tres bien .Bien placé géographiquement

Easy all and good stage

Très bien

Je passe régulièrement sur Paris juste pour dormir. C'est confortable. Personnel aimable, sympa et souriant. Proche du RER B

A refaire

Tout était parfait, je n’ai rien à redire. Je dormais dans un dortoir et j’ai été agréablement surprise du confort. Il faut par contre, en formule dortoir penser à avoir en sa possession: cadena, savon, shampoing, serviette et séchoir. Le tout peut-être acheté par contre à l’accueil. Les gens sont respectueux des aires de repos, j’ai super bien dormi. A refaire!

Convenable (habitués au luxe passez votre chemin)

Convenable, original, couloirs sombres, murs noirs, peu/pas de mobilier, juste le nécessaire.

J'ai adoré l'ambiance, la vibe! Je n'y ai pas été longtemps puisque c'était seulement une nuit de passage, mais je recommande. Confortable, employés sympa et souriants. à quelques minutes du RER B.

Solo reiziger

Was harstike goed geregeld snelle hulp ook fijn dat ze 24/7 open zijn want als je laat aan komt en heb zo veel nieuwe vrienden gemaakt van over de hele wereld om alleen te reizen daar teverblijven ja is leuk en bijna elke avond is er wel wat op de behandeling grond

駅から近く、歩ける方なら散策しながらパリ市内まで1時間くらいでいけます。英語出来ない方は、文章変換タイプのアプリを使って会話します。チェックインする際はCode(確認番号ではない)が必要みたいです。エレベーターは、ルームキーをかざして使用します！トイレやシャワーにいったん部屋を出て、戻ってくるとルームキーが使えなくなってるハプニングがあったので、いったんでも部屋を出る時は、携帯を持ちフロントへ行ける状態で出た方が良きです。部屋は広くUSBのコネクタ差し口も2つ付いてます。初心者バックパッカーでも過ごしやすかったです！

Lo recomiendo por duplicado.

La atención, la mejor, desde el inicio hasta el final. Hablan inglés, español, italiano y francés (obvio) hasta donde pude escuchar. La parada del bus y del tren están juntas y a 4 minutos caminando. La limpieza muy correcta, tanto de los cuartos como de las areas comunes. Tienen un bar, un area de comida, un espacio al aire libre dentro del hotel y un rooftop accesible para todos. Se hospedan viajeros en solitario, en grupos, familias con hijos y hasta quienes hacen viajes de negocios. Su amabilidad me hizo hospedarme por segunda vez allí a mi regreso a París y no me arrepiento. Lo recomiendo dos ✌ veces.

Es un hostal algo retirado del casco viejo de la ciudad, pero de fácil acceso por medio del metro, tanto al centro de la ciudad, como al aeropuerto de París

Strange

All was excellent

Excellent stay. comfortable beds, silent rooms, and great service.

Un séjour Roland Garros

Excellente nuit dans cette auberge de jeunesse avec des jeunes d'une section tennis d'Alsace. Auberge au design apprécié et à l'accueil chaleureux. C'était notre 2eme séjour

Ganske fint overnattingssted, det er moderne og rent. Ligger i et meget spesielt område. Sikkert derfor det er billig kanskje. Likte ikke at man må betale ekstra for håndkle, det syns jeg man burde kunne inkludere i prisen. Men for en kort natt i paris var det veldig greit og rimelig. Kunne nok fint kommet tilbake hit.

Formidable

Excellent séjour ! Endroit très agréable et que dire des employés, très accueillants !

Différent, conviviale, serviable, agréable

C'est pour moi une totale découverte. Pour la qualifier, de surprenante, dépaysante, joviale, conviviale, serviable, agréable, vous aurez compris j'y retournerai. Tres bien situé aux portes de Paris bruyante. Même si séjourné seul, cest a vivre en famille, entre amis ou groupe. Nécessite un état d'esprit sociale, même si de nombreuses personnes étaient venues seules.

Horrible experiencia

Reservé seis noches, me quedé sólo una, y con enorme pesar. El lugar es sucio y las habitaciones compartidas no tienen ninguna comodidad. El bar y los espacios comunes cierran muy temprano. El desayuno no tiene gracia alguna. A esto súmele la distancia al centro de Paris y el estar, literalmente, al lado de una autopista. Hágase un favor y reserve en otro lugar.

Excellent

En général l accueil et la prise en charge sont géniaux l’ambiance est fun sincèrement une expérience à vivre si vous êtes du genre ouvert aux expériences nouvelles jo & joe it ´s good cosmopolite et ouvert à tout types de classes célibataires,couples,familiaux avec ou sans enfants le personnel de l’accueil est jeune et dynamique pouvant vous comprendre quelque soit votre nationalités note 8/10 sans abus

Séjour agréable, gens sympathiques et pièces communes agréable et propres. mais chambre plus que succincte…pas de placard, pas de porte manteau, pas de chaise, tout doit rester dans la valise posée par terre… pour une chambre double à 95 euros la nuit c’est un peu juste ! De plus la VMC fait beaucoup trop de bruit et pas moyen de la baisser ou fermer…impossible de dormir sans boules quies, dommage car ça avait l’air par ailleurs bien insonorisé . Et enfin, obligé de dormir avec les lumières au plafond en veilleuse, impossible à éteindre complètement ?!? Sans enlever la carte d’entrée, ce qui veut dire plus de chauffage ni de lumière quand on se lève ?!? A se demander qui peut aussi mal penser une chambre ?

Expérience à ne pas renouveler !

Une nuit bruyante, jusqu’à 1h du matin, dans une chambre « nettoyée » de façon succincte (coton tige et emballage de gâteau retrouvés.

Um hostel ok.

A cama é encontrada desforrada. O hóspede que, se quiser, arrume. Toalhas são fornecidas a 4 euros (um valor muito alto para a qualidade da peça). Mas a ideia das camas dispostas em uma espécie de “contêiner” é interessante e dá privacidade. O hostel é um pouco longe da cidade. Não sei se há transporte público disponível para acessar a região do hostel, caso se queira voltar de madrugada. Por fim, o hostel tem uma vibe parecida com night club, o Que dá um ar jovial ao estabelecimento.
