Auberge Saint-Paul - Hostel

Good value for money, great position, no particular issues. Good that the breakfast is included, although there is little choice. The stairs are large (i.e. bringing luggage upstairs is a bit uncomfortable, but not as difficult as in other hostels with narrow stairs). Clean.

The hostel is split into two parts, there are some stairs and no elevator (luckily the stairs aren't too uncomfortable though). There is a code to enter the building, but the different rooms have no key or code, and any guest from any room can enter any room--not very safe! Breakfast should include more options than just coffee and bagels/bread. In particular, I missed the option of having apple juice or some other non-caffeinated drink. There was some issue with my bed (it was already occupied), but that got solved. Staff is good (although the last evening I needed to get my luggage from the storage room, there was only one staff member at the reception, and it took her ages to check in a group of 3 people, I needed to wait I think about 1 hour to get my luggage... I wasn't in a rush, but I could have been! Better have 2 people at the reception all the time!). Shower cubicles shouldn't have slits on the sides of the doors. The ladders of the beds are uncomfortable and painful for the feet, especially if you are on the bed on top (the bunk beds are triple).
