    Comfortable stay in maintained rooms. Front desk staff is always almost someone different but are friendly to speak to.

    This hostel is located very near to Sacre Coeur (10 mins walk or so), which is rather notherly from the city centre. The streets here can get really crowded on weekends, and the traffic on Boulevard de la Chapelle can really pick up in the mornings. But it is right smacked in front of the Barbès-Rochechouart metro station (exit by Boulevard de Magenta), which was really convenient. Also, you may find cheaper items in carts, shops along the streets here. The weekend flea market St-Ouen (Marche aux puces de St-Ouen) is a few metro stops up north. It's pretty close on foot to Gare du Nord train station (RER) if you're going to and fro paris and CDG airport. Great if you plan to explore places that are near here. But still feels a little far if you plan to visit the other places and left bank areas in Paris. Rooms, toilets and showers were clean and well maintained, and blankets were provided.

    • The staff was nice, but the hostel is in a neighborhood that doesn´t seems safety.The room was hot and the linen not very clean.When the sun goes down is not a recomended metro stop.
    They have no dinning room, only a little "patio"and the shower of our room was so small that we almost couldn´t enter.
    Try another hostel if you can.

    I stayed there for three nights and move to Absolute Hostel afterwards. Friend's Hostel was a big disaster. The rooms are dirty, small and hot (you couldn't open the window because it was on ground level). There seem just to be 2 toilets and a single shower for the whole hostel - extremely small and dirty. Of course there were no lockers. Nor was breakfast included. It was exactly the same price as Absolute Hostel, which is a million times better (see my other tip). The neighbourhood doesn't feel secure at night either.

    In a word: no.
