UCPA SPORT STATION HOSTEL PARIS

overall good

all ok

The staff was very welcoming and nice. They were ready to answer any question I had. The proximity to the station was also a great value

It is less intimate, however some of the people sharing were very pleasant to talk to

There were tents around the bed so there was plenty privacy. The lifts were working. You didn’t have to queue for the bathroom and shower.

No availability of vegan food at the food counter

Food was good, when available. They often ran out of quiche and sandwiches.

The night of my arrival, I was placed in a room with dirty sheets and a wet dirty towel. The night manager didn't apologize. He had clean sheets brought and left the smelly comforter. When I asked for a clean comforter the night manager brought a cheap 100% polester comforter covered in little bally fibers. It was gross. Then, he brought a dirty comforter. I had to sleep with this smelly body odor for 3 days. A maid brought me a clean comforter. The night manager, with wild black hair, never stated he was sorry to me nor never smiled. He had a horrible attitude for a manager. And, he made a comment to me, WELL THIS IS A HOSTEL. I mentioned that I had stayed at numerous hostels and never had this type of experience. I was placed in a room with a very ill man. I contracted his illness and was sick for the last 7 days of my vacation. I flew back to another country sick and i am still sick!!! The staff member told me to go to the neighborhood grocery store tobshop. I walked to the store and it was closed on a Sunday. Some front desk staff acted like it was a real inconvenience if you asked for directions or other information. At times their wasn't any toilet paper or soap at the sinks. Men would walk into the women's bathroom when we weren't totally dressed. A middle aged cleanup guy came into the women's bathrooms in the early evening and stared at us. We were partially undressed. The room was very noisy. The room was on the tram side. I stayed 10 nights and couldn't wait to checkout. I should be reimbursed for part of my stay.
