Plug Inn Boutique Hostel

Excellent friendly staff and clean facilities. Compact, efficient and highly effective. 24 hour section and facilities for waiting in breakfasting outside the dormitory rooms. Bedrooms are well appointed and maintained very effectively.

Pros: absolutely loved the neighborhood, ample hot water in the shower, fridge in basement Cons: extremely small elevator (1 person/1 luggage at a time), very small rooms with only a sheet (no blanket), housekeeping playing loud music outside door at 9am, basement dark and not a good gathering spot

Plus:Great location and friendly front desk staff. Minus:1.Regular breakdown of lift.Quick action is recommended.2.Breakfast is too basic.A continental buffet breakfast is better.3,Breakfast staff are grumpy.Smiling will go a long way.

This charming hostel is fantastically located in the Montmatre area of Paris. It’s a stones throw from everything you need including the intermarche, boulangerie, plenty of bars and restaurants, shops, sites (such as the Moulin Rouge) and the 2 Moulins (if you’re a fan of Amelie), and crucially lots of busses and the Metro making it really easy to get around. We spent 4 nights here and had a great time. The staff are all lovely, the cat is friendly, other guests were quiet and respectful while we were there, the beds were comfy and the room was basic but clean. I would definitely stay again.

This hostel is great if you are in Paris for the weekend and are travelling on a budget. The place was pleasantly clean, simple, and with modern albeit small bathrooms. The highlight is definitely the location. The reception is 24/7 and the staff are friendly and are very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. They will also let you leave your bags before the check-in time free of charge. I also appreciated the light breakfast they provided, which was a small croissant and bread bun, with a choice of cereals, tea/coffee, spreads etc. The rooms are definitely no-frills, but if you will be spending most of the time outside your room then they are perfectly adequate. There are plenty of charging points, towels & hairdryer provided, and a large fan to cool the room which was useful. I would have appreciated if they included a bottle of hand soap - especially during these times - but you get what you pay for. The wi-fi is pretty spotty and I ended up relying mostly on my roaming. We asked for an iron and were lent one no problem. After breakfast, any left over bread is put out in a basket in reception for free taking too. As other reviews have pointed out, the lift is miniscule and small. During the early morning you'll probably get woken up by the sound of people's footsteps going up/down the stairs, or the lift ringing. There are no safes in rooms, just some small lockers by reception. However, it is in a perfect location with a lively neighbourhood right at your doorstep. There are countless bars, restaurants, and shops. The metro is a short 7 minute walk away, it is round the corner from the Sacre Couer, and any amenities can easily be bought at supermarkets nearby. I would love to return here next time I am in Paris!! If you are not fussy, then I would recommend this hostel - or no-frills hotel - as a place to stay,

I stayed here with my grandmother in a private room and had a pleasant experience. The room was small but clean and smartly arranged. Reception was friendly and bag storage was available for free. The elevator and shower were exceptionally small, hardly fit my 5 foot tall self and carry on in it. But it was a new elevator and felt safe. Great location.
