Friends
Hostel,
More
like
Friendless
Hostel!
After
spending
almost
3
weeks
travelling
around
Europe
with
a
couple
of
good
friends,
we
decided
to
book
Friends
Hostel
in
Paris
before
we
headed
back
to
London.
Considering
that
the
hostel
was
less
than
a
kilometre
from
the
Gare
du
Nord
we
thought
that
it
would
be
a
good
purchase.
Oh,
how
wrong
we
were!
Arriving
at
the
hostel
tired
from
a
night
spent
on
the
overnight
train
from
Madrid,
we
went
up
to
the
check
in
and
found
out
that
we
had
to
wait
5
hours
(until
12:00);
this
is
pretty
standard
so
there
weren't
any
issues
there.
When
we
finally
got
to
our
room
we
discovered
the
horrors
that
we
would
be
exposed
to
for
24
hours.
The
first
horror
that
we
discover
was
the
stench
of
sewage,
mould
and
the
extremely
foul
smell
of
body
odour.
After
that
we
discovered
the
deplorable
quality
of
the
interior,
mould,
really
disturbing
stains
on
the
sheets
and
the
loo;
I
don't
even
want
to
mention
the
shower.
After
exploring
the
city,
we
got
back
and
then
discovered
even
more.
I
discovered
that
the
triple
bunk
bed
was
heavily
damaged
to
the
point
of
it
being
very
unsafe.
After
we
realised
that
we
had
to
spend
a
night
here,
we
"settled
down"
and
got
by
using
the
wifi.
Until
a
certain
time
that
is!
After
18:00
the
wifi
turned
off
and
the
hostel
had
the
audacity
to
charge
for
a
service
that
was
fairly
unremarkable
to
begin
with.
After
a
heavily
disturbed
sleep
we
had
to
get
up
at
8:00
for
the
check
out!
After
check
out
we
promptly
left
and
went
to
the
local
saviour
know
as
McDonald's
where
I
am
currently
writing
this
review.
Overall
I
had
never
been
to
such
a
dump
in
all
of
my
life.
The
staff
were
rude
and
the
quality
was
just
embarrassing
to
say
the
least.
This
is
my
first
review
on
Google
and
the
reason
being
is
because
that
I
have
never
in
all
of
my
life
been
to
a
place
that
is
so
vile
and
I
just
want
to
warn
"potential
costumers"
of
this.
Take
it
from
me,
there
are
North
Korean
prison
camps
better
than
this
place.
Please
don't
go
to
this
place
and
make
the
same
mistake
that
I
made.
Book
another
hostel
or
even
sleep
on
the
streets.
Whatever
you
do,
don't
get
a
room
at
Friends
Hostel!
AVOID
LIKE
IT'S
THE
PLAGUE!
