    • THIS HAS A GOOD GALLIC FEEL AND WAS VERY POPULAR EVEN IN JANUARY.I saw the staff work hard cleaning and at one point inthe day everything was clean so i cant believe these moaning minnies who seem to think its someone elses job to leave the shower/toilet as you would like to find it.We chose hosteling as a budget option and this place was fine.perhaps too many of us north americans start off in Paris and have little hostelling experience before we embark abroad.
    Thought the location to be spot on and really Paris is quite walkable.I'd return and thought the staff were ideally cast as hostel runners ,who are a rare breed of intrepid individuals.Enjoy

    good value for money

    • I was not very impressed with the 3 Ducks Hostel in Paris. For being one of the "best hostels in Europe", it did not even compare to the others I stayed at in Rome, Dublin, and Amsterdam. The staff was not very friendly and the sleeping and showering facilities were among some of the worst I used in my travels. I do not recommend.

    Our stay at 3 ducks hostel was a mix of good and not so good. Great location. Good hostel to stay at if your priority is partying all night or being kept awake all night with partying. A rule of the hostel is that the courtyard that leads to the rooms is closed at a certain hour. The staff did not follow that rule and in fact closed down the bar at some wee time in the morning and told all of the guests they would continue to sell them alcohol to drink in the courtyard. I did learn from this hostel experience that I wanted a two person room with ensuite for the rest of our trip!

    This place has a wonderful location. I'll admit that it is a little dirty but if your that high maintenance then you shouldn't be staying in a hostel. The bar is good and the beds are cozy. Like any other place it's what you make of it.

    3 Ducks Hostel: One of Paris's good Hostels    Check Rates

    • Directions were clear on the site about 3 ducks. Get off at the commerce station (metro). Look for church. Its bang opposite it. It was my first experience in a hostel; but, was good. I arrived at 11 in the morning & since beds only become available after 2 ...I was told to leave my luggage and go in the luggage room. I left it and then went around Paris and returned late in the night. There is a bar down where you can meet everyone and hang out. Its good fun. THey messed up my room on the first night and shifted me down..which was ok. Slept peacefully with 3 other girls in the same room (1 French and 2 from the US). Next morning break fast was on the house (nothing to write home about) & I started again for Paris...alone. Next night they again messed up my room and was shifted to another one. I slept by 11; but, there were some 6 other Americans in the same room who arrived by 2..Puked..Shouted and did what not...I had to be up by 6 to catch a train; so,basically did not get any sleep.

    Its a good place to hang out. Try not to be alone while going there. Everyone travels in groups..atleast of 2...Accomodation and bathrooms are clean. Everyone is American...cast and crew...

    3 Ducks Hostel: NOT WORTH IT    Check Rates

    • I stayed here with my friend several years ago and was repulsed. The place is dirty and full of American frat boys who are in Paris to get drunk and wake up the next day and do it all over again - in the courtyard, so every room can hear them all night. The rooms were dark and cold. The only thing good about the place is its location on lovely Commerce Street.

    • O hostel é um lixo, totalmente deteriorado e não devolvem o dinheiro caso vc não aguente ficar lá. O local é fedido, imundo e na parte da manhã, tem uma "OGRA" na recepção, a "moça" é totalmente sem educação.
    Os lençois são pagos a parte e são um lixo!!!!, as portas dos quartos não fecham!!!
    Não recomendo, nota ZERO!
    --------------------
    The hostel is a waste, totally damaged and not repay the money if you I can not stay there. The place is stinky, filthy and in the morning, has an "ogress" at the reception, the "girl" is totally without education.
    The sheets are paid for some and are a waste !!!!, the doors of the rooms do not close!
    I would not recommend, note ZERO!

    3 Ducks Hostel: By All Means, Avoid This Filthy Hostel If You Can    Check Rates

    • Of all of the hostels I have stayed in throughout the years, 3 Ducks Hostel is the filthiest budget lodge I have ever been to. The bar is pretty cool, but the tiny (expensive) room I stayed in could barely fit the two bunkbeds it had jammed in it. Perhaps 3 Ducks Hostel is best experienced sloshed, so you won't notice the grime permanently cemented to the beds and walls. The showers, too, left much to be desired.

    I'll admit. The bar is not bad.

    • Yes it's true, expect someone to go through your luggage. I took everything that I thought was of value, but when I returned from a day trip, both mine and my roommate's cheap umbrellas (3 euro each) were stolen. It stumped me since it was a nice day out and I didn't think they were worth stealing. On the other hand, the bar is nice and the beds were decent for the price. It's an easy walk to the Eiffel tower.

    The bar was nice and the beer cheap.
