OOPS! LATIN QUARTER BY HIPHOPHOSTELS, Paris

The hostel is well-placed for exploring Paris, with Les Gobelins metro station a 2-minute walk and Place d'Italie station providing direct lines to the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral (2 km), and AccorHotels Arena (2 km). Orly Airport is 12 km away, reachable by tram from nearby stops. The neighborhood is safe and lively, packed with restaurants, bakeries, and a supermarket around the corner. A 10-minute walk leads to the Latin Quarter, while the 13th district offers excellent Asian food options. The location is particularly suited for short stays and transit travelers due to its transport links.

Private rooms (double/twin) come with a double or two single beds, and towels are included. Dormitories (mixed and female-only) have bunk beds with sheets provided, but towels must be rented. Rooms are generally small, and storage space is limited; a small locker is available in each room for a padlock, while larger electronic lockers are located in the corridors. Bunk beds can be creaky and wobbly, and upper bunks lack safety rails - light sleepers may prefer a private room on a higher floor. Interior-facing rooms are quieter, but street-facing rooms can be noisy. The bathrooms are modern but shower cubicles are small and may flood the floor.

The breakfast includes a bread roll, croissant, butter, jam, cereal, and hot drinks (tea, coffee, juice). It is a basic, affordable option, but no gluten-free alternatives are offered. For more variety, the surrounding area has numerous bakeries, patisseries, and restaurants serving cuisines from Italian to Vietnamese, all within a few minutes' walk. A shared kitchen with microwaves, fridges, and a dining area is available for guests who prefer to prepare their own meals. Free coffee and tea are also available in the lobby.

On-site leisure is limited to a shared lounge with a TV and a selection of board games. The property has a terrace. The location, however, compensates with excellent public transport to Paris's parks, museums, and cultural sites. For relaxation, guests often walk to the Luxembourg Gardens or along the Seine, both easily accessible by metro.

The property provides free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, and a lift. Key services include a 24-hour reception, daily housekeeping (bins emptied, towels changed in private rooms), free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, and electronic lockers on each floor (pin-code operated). A shared kitchen and lounge are also available. There is no laundry facility, no airport shuttle, and no on-site restaurant. Safety features include CCTV, key card access, and smoke alarms. Only cash is accepted for the city tax; cards are accepted for the room payment. The hostel has a 'no smoking throughout' policy.
