Le Montclair Montmartre

Le Montclair Montmartre is located in the Montmartre section of Paris. The closest Metro station is the Jules Joffrin station. Once you get-off the Metro and exit, you'll find youself in front of the city hall of the XVIII district, which will be on the other side of the street. Take Rue Hermel (on the left of the city hall), then turn left on the Rue Ramey (which is an street on a angle). You will find the hostel on the left side of the street at number 62.

The area around the hostel is nice and quiet, with the exception of a school in the area. There are a few bakeries, cafes, and small grocery stores in the area. Sacre Coeur is a short, uphill distance from the hostel.

The reception is right at the door. You can leave your bags in a room near the reception, but they are not responsible for anything that gets stolen. The lounge area is in the same area. It consist of a few sofas and a small TV in the corner with basic TV and a few high tables and chairs in another area with a beverage machine and phone. There is a kitchen in the basement that serves breakfast in the morning for 2.50 euros. It is not much, so it would be cheaper to find a bakery for breakfast. The kitchen can be used at night to cook and eat dinner.

The dorm rooms are clean and some have a small watercloset and shower in the rooms that are clean. Make sure to completely close the shower door or you will get water on the shower room door. There are several showers, sinks, and waterclosets located on the bottom floor of the other building. The mattresses are soft, but the beds sags due to the wire supports. The hostel provides a towel, blanket, and sheet for your stay. There are no lockers in the rooms. There is no curfew but there is a lock-out in the afternoon to clean the rooms. There is only one key provided per room, so the last person to leave locks the door and turns in the key. There is one computer for internet access that cost 1 Euro/10 minutes.

Overall it is a reasonably decent hostel in a good location.
