If you're looking for a place to meet people and you don't plan on going to bed early (or taking a shower), Woodstock may be a good choice. It's located about 500m from a metro stop in the northern area of Paris, close to the Sacre Couer.
The common area is small but it's usually packed at night during the high season, which is especially surprising since the hostel itself is very small. The half of a VW Beetle mounted on the wall is a nice touch. They used to have a nice foosball table, but it seems to have disappeared.
Unfortunately they still allow smoking inside. So as soon as one inconsiderate person is too lazy to go outside to smoke, everyone has to breathe the smoky air. And the smoke floats up into the rooms, so the whole place smells like smoke.
There is a cat on the premises, so stay away if you're allergic. There's one bathroom for floor, and only one shower per floor. But you're better off not trying to use the shower anyway. It's just a push-button and a stream of luke-warm water. No soap dish, no shelf or hook for your clothes, nothing.
Despite the flaws, this is still a hostel where a lot of people enjoy staying and have a good time, so depending on what you're looking for, this may be a good choice.
