The rooftop cafe/bar is amazing. Everything else was, at best, satisfactory or average. My main complaint was that there's VERY little space in the dorm rooms - it felt very cramped. I know, it's PARIS and if you want space you're gonna pay big money for it. But given that there are lower-priced hostels in the city, I guess I was expecting a bit higher level of amenity here. The shower/bathroom facilities are nice and modern, but weren't very clean and there was water all over the bathroom floor from the showers. Still - the location of the hostel worked for me, given that I just needed a place near Gare de Lyon after a late evening train arrival. I was looking for a bed for one night and a place to shower before catching a flight home from Paris the next morning - so I suppose to that end my basic needs were met. Don't know that I'd book here again, though.
