I stayed at the smaller of these two hostels with a friend for July 4 weekend. Everything was clean, enough space for the two of us and all our stuff. We had a private room and it was more like a hotel room than a hostel. Room had a fridge which was plus! Walking distance to the main shopping drag, metro close by, near the Latin Quarter. Friendly and helpful staff, cheap safe parking down the block. There's a cute garden out back. We didn't have any issues with noise at night but that could have been because we rolled in during the small hours. I'd stay here again.
