LE REGENT MONTMARTRE BY HIPHOPHOSTELS, Paris

Le Regent Montmartre is situated in a lively area of Paris, less than 5 minutes on foot from both Metro Anvers station (line 2) and Pigalle station (600 metres). Sacré-Coeur Basilica is an 8-minute walk away, with the funicular nearby. Gare du Nord is a 12-minute walk, making Eurostar departures easily accessible. The surrounding streets are filled with cafés, bars, and restaurants - including Sparks Paris wine bar, L'Ecrin, and La Douzaine- Bar a Huitres, all within a 5-minute walk. Charles de Gaulle Airport is 20 km away; the quickest route is via metro (line B) with a change at Gare du Nord. The neighbourhood is well-connected and considered safe, though the Barbès - Rochechouart area nearby is best avoided after dark.

Room types include superior double rooms with balconies and private bathrooms (some with a bath and views of Sacré-Coeur), standard double rooms (some with shared bathroom), family rooms sleeping up to 4, quadruple rooms, twin rooms, and dorms (female-only or mixed). Most private rooms have en-suite bathrooms except the Single Eco room and some standard doubles. Dormitories have shared toilets and showers; in 4-bed female dorms, a private bathroom may be available. Rooms are compact, with basic furnishings: wardrobe, desk, flat-screen TV, and tea/coffee maker in some. Air conditioning is not available - only fans are provided. Heating can be overpowering and difficult to adjust, forcing windows open and letting in street noise. Bunk beds in dorms tend to be squeaky and unstable, with only 1-2 power sockets per room (none near the upper bunks). Bed linens are included, towels are provided in private rooms. The property has a lift.

Breakfast is served in the communal lounge and includes baguette, croissants, pain au chocolat, butter, jam, plain yogurt, cheese, and hot drinks (coffee, tea) with orange juice. It is described as a standard French breakfast - adequate but not extensive, and available until 10:00. There is no restaurant on site; the property has a coffee shop. For more substantial meals, many cafés and restaurants are within a short walk on the surrounding streets, including L'Ecrin, Marcel et Clementine, and La Douzaine- Bar a Huitres, all about 3-5 minutes on foot. The shared kitchen is limited to a microwave and refrigerator, so self-catering is minimal.

Le Regent Montmartre does not have a swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre. The property provides a shared lounge/TV area and a coffee shop for relaxation. For leisure, Montmartre and Sacré-Coeur are within walking distance, and the area is filled with bars and restaurants. The nearest park with a playground is located right next door.
