Recensione di Hostelz.com
A small friendly hostel in a central location. It's bright and clean and there is a small common area and the English-speaking staff is helpful. It is a less than ten-minute walk from the metro (subway). The bed price is very fair, but it doesn't include sheets, which you can rent for 3 euro plus a 7 euro deposit (once for the entire stay). There is a very long daytime lockout.

Aloha Hostel is quite pleasant and it's walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and there is a reasonably priced Internet café about ten minutes away. There is one coin-operated internet computer in the hostel lobby—but you will likely wait in line just so it can eat your money without giving you the service, and reception will NOT reimburse you for your trouble ‘cause it's not their machine.

Aloha Hostel has a large common are with vending machines for hot and cold drinks. There is also a self-serve book exchange, and magazines lying around to browse through. Tables and chairs are set up restaurant style to sit and chat with the cool people you are destined to meet in Paris—it will happen! The hostel has a kitchen downstairs for guests. They also serve a breakfast of a fresh baguette, butter, strawberry jam, coffee and orange juice from around 7-10am. All the people coming and going were very cool and interesting people and making friends was instant.

Dirty
The showers were disgusting, make sure you bring some flip flops and your own towels as the ones they rent as disgusting. Mattress was not flat and sank in at the middle and they only provide you with a blanket to cover yourself -- ok in summer but i bet it gets pretty cold here in the winter. You can nab an ok breakfast but OJ is lukewarm and bread pretty stale. Internet costs, you get a card for half an hour and computers are slow. Tiny area to sit and watch TV but better than nothing i guess. Pretty out of the way location but i did like the tiny little park nearby -- quintessentially french with a boules area.

The rat bait under the bunk was simply disgusting!
Aloha hostel is horrible, just horrible. lockout between 10:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. curfew at 2 a.m. there is only one master key which open all rooms, so anyone can open anyone else's. Had to wait for my roommate to come back before could go out! my bed smelled like fish. The toilets were dirty enough to rather sh*t outside. No toilet paper. The kitchen was gross and the facilities were very poor. The staff are very rude. They take only cash. There are no pillows on the bunk beds (which have no ladder to the top bunk). The rat bait under the bunk was simply disgusting! People, stay away!

Not good
Staff particularly bitchy. Lockout hours inconvenient and stupid. Location is off-the-beaten-path. Kind of away from everything. Closest attraction is the Eiffel Tower. I'd try others if you can.

Not a bad hostel. Decently clean and good location
This hostel was pretty good. We were on the top floor and had some fun roommates which made it that much better. The showers were a bit dirty but the toilets were clean as well as the rooms. We were in a four-person room and there were no bunk beds which was nice and we had our own sink. Good internet access as well. The breakfast kinda sucked though, two rolls and some OJ. The kitchen also was bad since there was no oven and not much space to cook. There was a small supermarket near by as well as a laundry place which was nice. It was close to a metro station and the Eiffel Tower (walking distance).

Beds and rooms were fine. Breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. Staff was fine as well. The kitchen is small. Toilets and showers were cleaned during the day lockout. Multiple internet computers, no queues.

the hostel was very clean at first glance but once we moved in we noticed things like the bathroom and shower had not been cleaned, with hair and a tampon on the floor of the shower. the amount of strictness varied with the the receptionist on duty. the blond one is particularly bitchy, even refusing to give my room key so i could quickly pop up to my room for something. they also promised us things that weren't there, like separate-sex bathrooms.

Overall, pretty good. As a solo traveler, female, first trip, there were some pretty cool people staying there, and the staff were friendly. Paying 10 euro for sheets was a bit of an issue, as were the many thousands of stairs, but overall it's a backpacker environment -- it's not the Hilton and not trying to be! It's only a place to sleep, why is anyone worried about the lockout? Isn't that the exact time you should be out enjoying Paris? Admittedly, the showers at Aloha leave a lot to be desired, though!

Six of us stayed at the Aloha; we realize that hostels are not luxury resorts, and we found this one friendly and adequate for our needs. We all thought it had lots of character!

Was all bad. Does not accept credit card even though web site says it does. paid 10 Euro for sheets -- three plus seven deposit. i lost my receipt so they would not give me my deposit back. very rude unfriendly and unhelpful staff. not that close to eiffel tower. paper thin walls. lockout between 11 and 5 very stuipd. showers and toilets were gross. supposed curfew of 2 but they let people check in at 3 a.m. into our room. stay away.

Staff weren't friendly, stairs very narrow and too many of them, no pillowcases provided with sheets, kitchen facilities very poor (only three forks in entire hostel!) and dorms cramped. Disappointing.

Some of the good things about the hostel is not because of the hostel itself. I mean, its not so far from Eiffel Tower and in almost center of Paris. You can roam around easily from here. Train stations and metro stations are very near. Then it has a kitchen where you can cook for your dinner, a beer vending machine, internet, TV etc. They serve you breakfast, which good enough. However on the other side, staff is generally not so helpful. there was a young girl at the counter and she was pathetic. at one time, i was so annoyed, that i thought of leaving the hostel. Rooms are generally not well maintained. the room i stayed was below stairs and the wooden covering was stinging.

This place wasnt too great. To be fair they were under construction at the time, but that still made the place noisy and dusty. The bathroom was gross, a little worse than the average hostel. The fire alarm went off one morning and blared on for something like fifteen minutes and none of the staff seemed to care. The staff weren't particularly helpful. The bunks were nothing special and it was a bit difficult to find. All I can say is it was a roof over our heads in Paris and a semi-decent breakfast.

It's a really good hostel. It's clean, friendly and the beds are really comfortable. It's just a little bit noisy and the genders are mixed. But that's normal for a backpackers hotel. We were definitely satisfied, everything worked, the reservation, the payment and everything else. We've been there on new year's eve, and after we got back from our trip to the tour eiffel, the staff immediately offered us some red wine... really nice people there! cheers...

I booked the hostel, then read the reviews on here and thought: uh oh... Luckily the hostel was pretty good. The staff were generally friendly and helpful and didn't mind too much when we just missed the curfew. The Eiffel Tower is about a 25-minute walk away and about an hour's walk back (we got a little lost). I was sharing a room with random people, which I didn't mind. Some people may want a separate room, though. The showers were clean and worked ok. The sheets were clean and I got two pillows! Breakfast was cereal and bread, which was fine. The Metro is super close and it's really easy to get to Disneyland or the center of Paris. They have a Heineken vending machine so you can have a beer before breakfast! A student's dream!

As my rating indicates, my stay in this hostel was average. Curiously enough, the rating is not due to the place itself but the people in it - the staff, other "backies", etc. The place itself is okay; there's a shower with warm water, functional toilets, a plasma tv, and internet stations. Still, there were a few characters that compel me to give an average rating. One of them was the reception guy whom I christened "tres chic" because he has the typical teen haughty attitude. These people seem overly snobby, even though they're still attached to that early 90's Nirvana bummy grunge style. Other unpleasant persons we met were two loud, drunk, and perverted guys who arrived in the middle of the night and indecently exposed themselves to this girl that was staying in the same room. (For some reason, they mix genders.) Thus, I conclude this review by saying that if you want to stay here, bring your sleeping mask, earplugs, and the like. P.S. the people here smoke like hell.
