3 Ducks - Paris    Share

This is a funky little hostel in Paris. Location was good, within walking distance to the Eiffel tower however it's not quite as close as staff claim! Rooms were clean but the 8 share room was tiny, especially considering the price. The kitchen was equipped with a microwave, toaster, oven and sink. I did miss having a common room, as there is only a public bar which anybody can access. The room was also quite noisy at night because of this bar right outside our room.

One star for one reason: Any public visitor to the public bar downstairs has unfettered access to the building containing the hostel. They also make you pay for each key card (deposit) which encourages guests to not get one, and leave the room doors propped open, further leading to a lack of safety. The rooms (especially first and second floor) can get very noisy. And my room on the top floor has a narrow spiral staircase to access the bathroom which is a disaster waiting to happen.

Really the best not to small not to big reasonable price and great atmosphere for just a drink in the patio

Good: free storage room to keep luggage, friendy staff and good service, nice and chilled bar atmosphere downstair, nice breakfast but only until 9:30AM Bad: easy access for anyone from the bar to the rooms. No vantilation in the bathroom smell very damp. No bar for the upper deck bed

Nice spot. Staff very friendly. Prices correct.
