Myself and 4 girls were moved to this hostel after BVJ Opera was said to be full (although we had made a reservation). The hostel has a nice location, close to the Louvre, Hotel de Villes and the Seine. For French standards the breakfast is okay. And the hostel is clean-ish although it smelled like pee sometimes and the ticker... More

This hotel gave me very good value for the price. My room and en suite shower room were clean and comfortable, the front desk and breakfast room staff pleasant and helpful, the continental breakfast had a good range of choice: croissants, breads, pastries, eggs, ham, cheese,fresh fruit salad, conserves, yoghourts, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fruit juices. The previous critical... More

One of the cheapest hostels I could find in Paris, it's perfect if you are only in Paris for a weekend. Pros: THE LOCATION! (5 minutes from Louvre, lots within walking distance.)I found the beds comfortable, staff friendly, sheets and pillows clean and the breakfast great (Baguette, cereal, yoghurts, bowls of tea/coffee/chocolate). Cons: luggage room- our stuff was fine but... More

Just in front of "LOUBOUTIN SHOE SHOP" a small blue door on number twenty. A very well located youth hostel, simple and basic, with a huge parisian lobby, with amazing stairs... A few meters away from Louvre Museum and Tuileries garden... a fantastic place for a week-end of shopping and culture. You will find just the necessary and a friendly... More

Do not ignore this comment as I did somebody else's! I booked for 4 nights and after the first was changed (from the dingy BVJ Louvre with no elevator to take your bag up the 10 plus stairs and unfriendly staff, albeit in a good location) to another in their chain in the more dodgy part of town. BVJ Opera,... More

If you're a traveller who has been staying in mostly hostels, the prices of BVJ may seem rather high. However, its location is truly hard to beat. BVJ is literally just behind the Louvre, and close to many central metro lines. This area also includes many small restaurants and supermarkets, depending on your plans for eating. Although, BVJ does not... More

Staying at BVJ was what I would imagine staying in a morgue might be like. This hostel was extremely loud, throughout the night and early morning banging echoes blast throughout the hostel. The atmosphere was non-existent. There is no kitchen and the surrounding area has no cheap eats. Internet cost 3 Euro for an hour. No lift and we were... More

The location is excellent, the price is acceptable. Apart from this, the breakfast is included and the staff is extremely friendly. I loved it there, and if I ever go to Paris again, my host will be BVJ Louvre. If any of the staff from BVJ Louvre care to see this - GUYS THANK YOU, YOU'RE THE BEST!

I would never ever even think about staying here again. The staff were SO rude and after changing which location I was suppose to be at they cancelled my booking because I was 'late' - even though I had emailed them letting them know the train was running late so i would be there a little later (one hour). When... More
