JO&Joe Paris Gentilly - Auberge de Jeunesse Reviews

Spend two nights here, quiet cabin, close to tube station. Budget price, good price for staying a few nights in Paris.

The reception is nice and polite as we have requested for the room change, they feel welcome and happy to arrange it. Location is nice here, but one point would like to give some feedbacks as there was so noisy during night time like party, other than that is fine.

1. Air conditioning was not switched on when outside temps were 32+ degrees over the course of a 7 night stay. Reason provided was it’s an eco friendly hotel and the team did not forecast well. No measures were taken to cool the rooms despite this error. 2. Cannot eat takeaway food on the ground floor (inside or outside) there is a cafe serving food. 3. Unpleasant smell in room. 4. Shower door does not lock in a unisex bathroom. 5. Need to pay to store luggage.

This hostel is just 5 minutes away from the nearest train station with many cheap food options located along the way. It is more like a capsule hotel as you get your own mini-room. Everything is well maintained and the best part is that each shower cubicle contains its own sink and mirror so you can dress up or wash up all in one go. A downside is of course that it is harder to cross paths with roommates or meet new people. The boiler in the shared kitchen is heavily calcified but you are able to request hot water from the cafe and there is a water cooler downstairs.

Pretty good, the room was quite clean, and the bathroom hygiene was excellent. While the location isn't in the city center, it's still convenient because it's very close to the RER station.

Extremely terrible stay. The room lighting was very dim, and one night the power even went out, but the front desk didn't inform us. The room was completely dark, which was incredibly inconvenient. Secondly, the bedding was filthy; the sheets had unknown stains, and there were bed bugs. I personally got bitten by bed bugs all over my body. I saw the bed bugs with my own eyes, so I can confirm with 100% certainty that this is an issue with this hotel. Absolutely speechless. The location isn't very close to other main areas either; you have to take the subway everywhere. There's also nothing to explore nearby. Overall, the experience at this hotel was truly awful, a 0 out of 10. I will never come back.

Generally clean, location is not that ideal but acceptable. The quality of sleep heavily depends on your roommates (mine was snoring extremely loud throughout the night). Breakfast costs €10.9 but was not worth it. The food was not fresh and variety was quite limited and I even got food poisoning after eating it unfortunately.

Clean place. Locker is big enough to put in a carry on luggage for plane. Metro station is 3 mins of walk.

Good location, walkable distance, about 200m away from the gentily subway station, very accessible to the tourist destinations, they provided good breakfast menu, affordable crossaint with 1euro. One suggestion is that they can provide a hair dryer in each of the room.

The room was clean and I got a single bed. There were no bad smel. But, the AC didn’t cool the room at all.

Personal, attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere and the food they offer is quite good. I would repeat without a doubt, I recommend it.

The bar downstairs can be a bit noisy, so avoid if that bothers you. The bathroom in the room needs improvement. The hotel is a bit far from the city center; you'll need to transfer a few times if taking the bus.

The hostel is nice and clean, and the amenities are great. You can relax and have a few drinks at the bar.

I was initially worried that a group of 12 women might be noisy while organizing our luggage and disturb others, but the room was very spacious, with plenty of personal space for everyone. The toilet and shower room were isolated within the room, so we didn't have to worry about sound leaking out. The toilet was really artistic! ✨ The location was also great, with public transport nearby, making it easy to get around and explore the city. It was an absolutely fantastic stay.
