Not perfect, but better than most

This was the first place I stayed on my first solo trip and I made sure I went back as the last place on my most recent trip. It's not perfect, but to be honest you're not going to find a perfect hostel in Paris; they all have things like lockouts, curfews, charging for linen... I don't know why these things seem to exist in Paris but nowhere else. But it is a good hostel, and I'd definitely recommend staying here.

Unique Quality: Nice bar area, small courtyard for smokers, a cat, beds are pretty comfortable...It's in a really nice area, close to the Sacre Couer. And there's half a VW Beetle in the bar. They play the Doors when they put you on hold on the telephone (it's THAT kind of place); I get the feeling they'd like to make it a lot more relaxed rule-wise but that doesn't seem to be allowed in Paris. The staff do vary though, between extremely friendly and helpful and downright rude. Linen costs extra, which is a pain.

Able to repeat!

Nice cozy entrance, the staff are obliging. Breakfast is not that great, you know, bread, jam and butter, hot chocolate, tea and coffee. As always! But bread is good, at least you don't get the sandwich type bread. Showers are fine, though you have to watch out cause it can get very hot.

Rooms can be noisy if you're next to the bathroom and you have to carry your own sheets, but they are clean. Kitchen is fine as pans and stuff you may refer. It gets a little bit smelly once used cause it has little ventilation.

It's not a party hostel, but you can here noise from now to then. Bad thing is the curfew at 2am, but anyway, who the hell wants to be out more than that as expensive as Paris is?? lol

Typical Hostel

I really don't know... I went in and went to sleep or talked on the phone. The shower kind of sucked. It was push-button operated, with no temperature choice (if I remember correctly). You push the button, warm-hot water comes out for a few minutes and then it turns off. Repeat.

There is a little courtyard and a kitchen if you feel like cooking. I didn't stay long enough to cook, nor would I on a trip like this---it was important to me to experience cultural food wherever I go. Breakfast included.

Unique Quality: Close to the subway, not a bustling part of town. Near the Elysee-Monmartre (Does anyone remember that line from the Roots song?) Near lots of bakeries and a grocery store. Narrow, quaint street. Near the Sacre-Couer.

Hostel Woodstock

After travelling around Europe with a stack of Aussies and Kiwis it was a a welcome relief to arrive at Hostel Woodstock. Not an antipodean in sight! Instead, I met Colombians, Quebec-ers and a Californian hippie who all spoke fluent French. Such a change from drunken oafs from Newcastle wailing 'Waltzing Matilda'!

Woodstock is located in the heart of Montmartre - the district where Picasso, Braque and their 'boho' buddies used to hang out in the 1910s. Montmartre still retains a bohemian vibe, with jazz music wafting into the hostel at all hours and conversations likely to turn to philosophy or avant-gard film. Pretentious? Maybe. But at least it offers something different to most of the hostels on the Western Europe Contiki-fied route.

Unique Quality: Like many hostels, breakfast is included, but at Woodstock it is a very generous serving of hot chocolate, coffee, brioche and jams or butter. Also has a kitchen (very small) and a courtyard. Great, and friendly, reception staff. A huge supply of 'Minute Maid' (both orange and apple) and some alcohol. Only qualm was that the showers were a wee bit cold ... Oh yeah! And it's right near Sacre Couer, a supermarket, the Moroccan Quarter (les goutes d'or) and a whole heap of bookshops!

The land of a thousand naked statues

"Beautiful city"

Paris is an absolutely astonishing city.
Although it is crowded, and has all the nasty habits of a big town. Its an absolutely wonderful city .

To visit that is.

I don't think you would be comfortable living in paris more than a year if you are not a born and brought up parisian. But then one more reason i felt that is because my french is so so..

People are amazed when i tell them that the best part of my paris trip was not the eiffel tower, not the heineken beers, not the woodstock hostel, but a walk along the seine on the day i was leaving. I took a walk along the river. And read a book on the banks of it. Till it was time to stroll to the Gare de Lyon in time for my TGV.

And when i went to Rue Mouffetard and had a wonderful cheese and egg crepe.

I will add more stuff to this page....
Keep watching.....
