AUBERGE YVES ROBERT
Hostel near the Montmartre Hill and close to the metro and bus station with rooms with a refined decor and organic restaurants.
Located under an old hall that has been converted into a solar power plant (the photovoltaic panels that cover it provide all the energy), the wooden-fronted Auberge de Jeunesse Yves Robert opens onto a green space combining a covered garden planted with trees and ponds of aquatic plants. The facility houses an auditorium, a bar area, an independent high-tech kitchen, laundry facilities, organic restaurants overlooking the garden and bicycle garages. Rooms are simply decorated and have up to 6 beds.

Le petit déjeuner est de qualité et complet.
Je voyageais seule et me suis sentie en sécurité. Prévoir sa serviette de toilette et son cadenas pour l’armoire.
Très bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande.
Checkin - When you checkin your private room won’t be active until 3pm. (unless you are in a shared hostel room) and you can leave you luggage in a storage room that’s monitored by a camera.
Breakfast - You have a limited amount of food in which you can grab listed on a piece of paper in the downstairs restaurant. Although it’s free, it’s not a buffet. I do feel that the portions in which you are allowed to take can be rather filling though.
Kitchen - You must ask reception for a keycard that unlocks the kitchen. The cards that you are provided with for your room will not unlock the kitchen. Once you are finished using the kitchen keycard be sure to return it. There is also a fridge that you can keep your food in but I personally wouldn’t recommend it (it stunk inside)
Service/Reception - Most spoke both french and english. Some better than others but overall the reception does speak both. The taller girl was very sweet and helpful when we had an issue with our room as well.
Rooms - Our private room was small but nice. The family size private room comes with a full size mattress and bunk beds. Much more spacious and nicer with better heating and a fan. Also to turn on the main switch for the entire room you must plug in your keycard in a card slot next to the door (looks like an upside down credit card reader) to activate the electricity to the room for your lights to work. They also have a quiet zone on floors 1 - 2 where rooms are located. This is so that people are loud in the hallways or partying in their rooms which makes this place very quiet and excellently sound proofed.
Location - This spot is great if you want to be close to Gare Du Nord station. This made it easy for us to checkout and walk to the train station to head up to the airport. A lot of people mention this place is sketchy but in my opinion it just seems like the area is a bit more run down. We still seen school field trips, parents teaching their kids how to ride bikes, groups of older people dancing in front of the building (dancing in a way that’s good for your health) and truly nothing that concerned us. I would say if you are a single female staying here then maybe consider taking the taxis when leaving or finding another place that makes you feel safer.
Showers/water - The shower design is a bit odd to us because you have to press a button to temporarily run the shower till it stops then do it again. Makes the shower a bit tedious but i think this place is all about conserving energy and reducing costs in efficient ways and it’s a brilliant idea but weird to get used too lol. The sinks act in a similar way too.
Checkout - Sheets, Blanket, and pillow cases go in marked hampers in hallways when leaving to drop off kay cards to reception.
My Final Thoughts - Would I stay here again? Yes, if i was looking for a private room i totally would. The price is very good and so is the location (in my opinion lol) As far as looks the green floor is just too much lmao. But aside from green floor, the fresh wood look and the building itself is gorgeous. With great and friendly staff this place is definitely a place i’d revisit again and would recommend.
Frühstück war wirklich enttäuschend und stark kontrolliert.
Lage war für uns ok, generell eher so mittel.
Les toilettes sont dans le couloir, il y a en plusieurs et c'est assez propre.
L'accueil est agréable , en revanche le petit déjeuner n'est servi qu'à partir de 7h , ce qui peut être embêtant quand on part tôt, aucune compensation n'est prévue quand on part sans prendre le petit déjeuner.
Enfin, le quartier est carrément mal fréquenté, si vous voulez sortir le soir, vous rentrez la peur au ventre.
Dernier détail, la voie ferrée passe juste derrière.
