Edgar Suites Jules Ferry

It was really quiet, so if you just need somewhere to sleep, go ahead. I spent two nights there. The place is very central, and the staff were nice, gentle, and smiling around the clock. The room for two was cleaner than I expected, with no dust or bugs, and rooms were cleaned daily. Lockers and breakfast were provided. You have to hand in your key whenever you leave, which means no intruders and no worry about losing it. It has the feel of a clean but roomy military room. You get what you pay for. You also have to leave between 10:00 and 14:30, which is normal for cleaning and tidying. There’s no lift, and the breakfast area is small and messy.

It's basic, but honestly it could be a lot worse. The place is clean and the location is great. You can leave your bags locked in the basement. It's noisy, but that hasn't been an issue for me. The people are pretty nice, too. I only wish the Wi-Fi worked in the room. On the other hand, it means you meet people in the lobby 😸. There were mostly older people in the hostel.

You get what you pay for, and it's worth the money if all you need is somewhere to sleep. It was clean and safe, but I had to leave the room every day from 10:30 to 14:00 for cleaning. That's a really bad setup: you can't sleep in or relax in your room during the day. The internet was poor, and it was noisy and hot.

The showers often ran out of hot water, and there were no luggage lockers in the rooms, just tiny boxes for valuables that were hard to secure with a lock. You also had to hand in your key whenever you left and prove who you were again to get it back. From 10:30 to 14:00 they lock you out of your room, so forgetting something you needed was a pain. The hostel was dingy and about 50 years out of date. Bearable is the best way to describe it. It could have been worse, but not by much.
