BUG review
This is a large hostel overlooking a canal in northern Paris. It is a modern seven-storey building with extensive common areas on ground floor and basement. The main area on the ground floor consists of a bar (Belushi’s Bar) with a pool table and table football, a cafe (Belushi’s Cafe) with internet access (€3 for one hour, €6 for 24 hours; Wi-Fi is free). Downstairs is a chill out room plus an additional bar (Belushi’s Club) that is sometimes opened up for special events (such as karaoke nights). The accommodation is in spacious dormitories with curtains on the bunk beds for privacy as well as power points, bedside lights and lockers for each bed. It is one of the best accommodation options in Paris; however the hostel’s size, location and design lead some travellers to complain that doesn’t feel Parisian enough.

There was an exciting vibe around the place, and all the staff were more than happy to help . At the same time it was also a very relaxed hostel if you just wanted to chill out .

apart from this place being slightly out of the way the only issue was there was a rat living in the roof right above my bunk gnawing through the wall all night long. i think this is more of a paris problem rather than the hostel though. it is by far the best value in an expensive place, the food is relatively cheap and good too, much better than other st christophers hostels

well it was very modern,a nice view of the quai,near to the metro,lots for people to do,dancing,kareoke,the fact you could be in your room when you wanted,the washing and bathroom facilities were emaculately clean,seemed how a hostel should be and of course a free breakfast,exept i didn"t make it to breakfast my fault.the difference is how hospitable the staff are though,thats one of the main things with me.theres too many possitives to mention.
