My review is a bit different as I was a young solo female traveler. I felt extremely unsafe and quite scared in this area. There are lots of men/sales men/tweakers that are just outside of the train station and outside the hostel who harassed me (walking with me, asking for sexual favors, touch my shoulders calling me pretty). I was followed every single time. I would have them following me into McDonalds and they all sat and stood around me. They would not quit no matter if I ignored them or if I said repeatedly I wanted to be left alone. I had a man follow me for blocks all the way to the doors of my train. Also, no one helped me even with how loud I would be towards these men saying “Leave me alone.”. I honestly only think this happened because I was alone and it is out of control of the hostel, but a warning of the area. The hostel itself is very nice and if I had the chance to return to Paris with company with me, I would want to stay here again. Just not alone. The rooms were very clean (also fair warning: the travelers were a bit stinky, again out of the hostels control). People staying here did seem very nice and the bar was very lively and seemed fun! Restrooms were clean and always available. If you needed anything for your trip there were washers/dryers and a vending machine with PLENTY of toiletries and another with plenty of snacks and drinks. Also a convenience store around the corner. Workers were also super super nice and helpful.
