BUG review
This AIJ is far out of the centre in an international but sketchy part of town towards the northern suburbs. The large cement building is uninviting, and the interior is quite drab, almost depressing. Very few travellers venture out here on their own, so there are more often school groups and local French kids hanging out in the TV room talking about anything but travel. The only thing of interest in the area is the Cite des Sciences and Park de la Villette, where they hold exhibitions and show outdoor and 3D films. It would be a cool way to spend a night in Paris, but only if you have a few extra days to spare.

We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
