Detailed review categorized:
**Location 📍**
An unbeatable location within walking distance of all the tourist attractions. Bus, subway, and bike rentals are right outside the property, and there are many 24-hour supermarkets and restaurants nearby. (Highly recommend the Asian restaurant near the Arc de Triomphe for its taste and value for money).
**Facilities 🗝️ Mostly inconvenient points**
- No sign, so it was hard to find. You also have to call staff to get in upon first arrival.
- You need to carry two keys, one for the ground floor entrance and one for your room's floor. If you leave them in the room or lose them, there's no way to get in.
- The elevator was shockingly old; you had to open and close the door manually. If someone on another floor didn't close it, it wouldn't respond to calls, so we had to walk up twice (about 7 floors). Besides that, the letters on the buttons also had minor malfunctions.
- The bathroom door creaked, and you had to push hard to engage the lock, causing noise in the early morning.
- The water pressure and temperature in the bathroom were disastrous. Hot and cold water alternated every 30 seconds, and the showerhead leaked and was broken.
- The power went out. When we returned at lunchtime, it seemed they assumed everyone was out. We had to find the circuit breaker ourselves to get the lights and heater working.
- Two bathrooms were shared by four rooms. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded, and we rarely ran into others, which was good. However, sharing with people who leave blood-stained towels, waste, or hair is purely a matter of luck.
- Toilet paper was almost always insufficient.
- The smaller of the two bathrooms was reminiscent of an airplane bathroom; the shower stall was too small even for a woman, and a sewage smell came up from the sink when the water was on.
- Other common areas like the kitchen and hallway were clean and practical.
- The hairdryer was broken and only blew cold air. Even then, it was fortunate to find one, as people would take them to their rooms and not return them.
**Room and Cleanliness 🧹**
- It seemed like they had cleaned, but there was so much dust that my eyes bothered me every night. The balcony door was difficult to open and close, and all the furniture was old.
- There's a large wardrobe, and the room is quite spacious.
- The individual room door has a lock, so security is good.
- A couple with a baby stayed next door. I didn't want to know, but I did due to the poor soundproofing – I could even hear their coughs. The host needs to set limits on newborns who cry uncontrollably all night.
- Besides the towels provided on the first day, we didn't receive any more. We were going to ask but they smelled musty, so we washed them ourselves.
**Staff 🙂**
- The staff member who assisted us was thorough and kind, actively checking if we needed anything.
- Apart from that, the staff member who handled check-in-related calls, with whom English communication was difficult, was a bit inconvenient. We knew check-in was only until 8 PM, but it felt like we were being pressured via the app and personal calls.
**Price 💰**
It's somewhere between a dormitory and an Airbnb in terms of level and price. The value for money is undeniable; it was cheaper than nearby hotels.
If you can't compromise on location and price, this accommodation is the answer.
Improvements are needed and possible, so this might seem like negative feedback, but this accommodation offers enough value to compensate for all those inconveniences.
**Conclusion:** I wouldn't recommend it to others, but I would stay here again.
