The 3 Ducks Eiffel Tower by Hiphophostels

I really enjoyed my stay here. The bar was nice, the staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. It is also in a great location close to lots of nice bars and restaurants. I would recommend this hostel and would stay again. The only small concern was that there are no lockers but they have a small place to put your valuables.

Excellent Hostel. For the price I dont think it can be beaten. Very nice and friendly staff the bar is very nice and had a good vibe about it. 3 Ducks beer the best pints we found in Paris and the cheapest. Great location. Would highly recommend

I went there by the summer of 2022. After coming from a terrible hostel, I finally came to find a beautiful spot here. The lobby area and the terrace were beautiful and I appreciated how , every morning, they fixed our breakfast trays. Everything well put and on time. Whereas the communal areas and rooms were phenomenal, the staff performance was not as great. They were rather frigid and not looking forward to give customer service at Front Desk. Besides that, I really did love the place.

The location is fantastic with two metro stations within 400 meters (Commerce and Felix Fauré)! There are grocery stores, pharmacy, pâtisserie, Sephora, The Body Shop...even a church next door (if you want to pray)! They have a kitchen that's adequate, a storage (that's free if you are staying and €15/day if not) and very helpful staff. I stayed 4 nights in 6 female dorm before going to other places in France and then for 3 nights in mixed dorm. The 6 female dorm was slightly better and cleaner. I was lucky enough to stay with all females in the mixed dorm. For all this 4 stars, one added star for staff and owner attitude! The day I arrived in Paris after 11+ hours flight, had to wait another 2 hours at border control. Hence was extremely tired and was functioning on auto pilot mode. Managed to burn a store bought sandwich while heating it in the microwave. The kitchen was filled with smoke and it's a wonder that the smoke detector didn't go off. Anyone would have been cross with me, but not the owner! She was kind, emphatic and understanding. Said accidents happen and understood that I was so tired. Even the reception staffs were so helpful, jovial and funny. Don't believe all the negative reviews, it's not deluxe luxury accommodation but they don't claim to be. There is €5 deposit in cash for the key card, they issue a receipt for it. Don't lose it and then blame them for refusing a refund. Once again location counts. I had online ticket for Louvre entry at 9:30 AM and be at Paris Opera House at 1:30 PM for a ballet performance. In between I even went to the National Musuem of Natural History. In between dropped in to hostel to change for the ballet!

Very average hostel but room setup was not great. 2 sets of bunbeds up a very steep spiral staircase and 2 sets of bunk beds on the first floor. If your bed is on the bottom floor it’s the same area as the bathrooms and very loud every time someone uses the bathroom as the doors and locks are very squeaky and loud. Beds were very short and tiny (I am 5’8”) and my feet were at the edge of the bed. Besides from that it was clean and had a fun bar in the lobby which was a good way to meet others and grab drinks. Overall very average nothing special but clean hostel.
