Beau M Paris Hostel

You can charge your phone right by your bed, and the sleeping room has its own shower and a toilet behind a door, which gives you a bit of privacy and means you disturb everyone less. The staff are friendly and speak English. The hostel is close to Montmartre, Sacré coeur, and a great price. Also, the coffee is excellent, made with beans from a local brand. Give it a try!

The incident at night made me feel so unsafe that I left early, around 5:30 a.m. I told reception what had happened. They knew about the situation, but by then my stay was already ruined. At about 3:00 a.m., someone suddenly came in shouting while I was asleep. I had no idea what was going on, and it was frightening. The place has a stylish, modern look, the café is cozy, and the location is convenient. In daytime it feels welcoming, and the concept is nice. But the lack of security at night was a major problem for me. I wouldn’t be comfortable recommending it unless security and nighttime management improve.

I spent about two weeks here and really enjoyed it. There’s plenty of seating, lots of outlets, and the Wi-Fi is good for having a coffee and relaxing or getting some work done. The shared areas and rooms are cleaned every day. The staff are friendly and helpful, and ready to assist 24/7 so you feel at ease. I especially spent time with Daniel, Navid, and Caroline, and it was great.

I’ve been travelling around Europe for a month, and this was surprisingly the best of the six hostels I stayed in. The room was fairly spacious, with privacy curtains, a little shelf for glasses or other things, and password access for both the room door and locker. It wasn’t a social hostel, which didn’t bother me, though people hoping to meet others might be disappointed. It was really hot even in winter. Female dorms cost more, so I ended up in a room with only men. And if you’re planning to walk everywhere, it’s quite far from the city centre. Most of the lockers in my first room were broken, which was frustrating, but it led to me being moved to a better room with a working one.
