Plug Inn Boutique Hostel

The female staff are very friendly and kind. The breakfast bread was delicious. The location is central. However, several days in I discovered bites from bed bugs. I notified staff and they changed my room but would not allow for a refund. The room I was in was very tiny with beds blocking the windows and no AC making the room very hot and uncomfortable in the summer. I do not think my stay was worth it. And would not go through the stress again of bed bugs.

Pros: absolutely loved the neighborhood, ample hot water in the shower, fridge in basement Cons: extremely small elevator (1 person/1 luggage at a time), very small rooms with only a sheet (no blanket), housekeeping playing loud music outside door at 9am, basement dark and not a good gathering spot

This hostel is great if you are in Paris for the weekend and are travelling on a budget. The place was pleasantly clean, simple, and with modern albeit small bathrooms. The highlight is definitely the location. The reception is 24/7 and the staff are friendly and are very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. They will also let you leave your bags before the check-in time free of charge. I also appreciated the light breakfast they provided, which was a small croissant and bread bun, with a choice of cereals, tea/coffee, spreads etc. The rooms are definitely no-frills, but if you will be spending most of the time outside your room then they are perfectly adequate. There are plenty of charging points, towels & hairdryer provided, and a large fan to cool the room which was useful. I would have appreciated if they included a bottle of hand soap - especially during these times - but you get what you pay for. The wi-fi is pretty spotty and I ended up relying mostly on my roaming. We asked for an iron and were lent one no problem. After breakfast, any left over bread is put out in a basket in reception for free taking too. As other reviews have pointed out, the lift is miniscule and small. During the early morning you'll probably get woken up by the sound of people's footsteps going up/down the stairs, or the lift ringing. There are no safes in rooms, just some small lockers by reception. However, it is in a perfect location with a lively neighbourhood right at your doorstep. There are countless bars, restaurants, and shops. The metro is a short 7 minute walk away, it is round the corner from the Sacre Couer, and any amenities can easily be bought at supermarkets nearby. I would love to return here next time I am in Paris!! If you are not fussy, then I would recommend this hostel - or no-frills hotel - as a place to stay,

Excellent friendly staff and clean facilities. Compact, efficient and highly effective. 24 hour section and facilities for waiting in breakfasting outside the dormitory rooms. Bedrooms are well appointed and maintained very effectively.

Great location.Loved Montmartre area.Front desk staff are friendly. Not fantastic:1.Lift is out of order for a long time.A quick action on this problem should be a priority.2.Breakfast is too basic.Much better-buffet continental breakfast.3.Breakfast staff are grumpy.A smile is free and simple to do.4.Beds creaked and difficult to climb.5.Bathroom tiles are old and peeling off.
