Le Montclair Montmartre by River Paris Hostel Review and Information

This place exceeded my expectations, we stayed in a twin room which was very clean, there were toiletries provided, there was a safe in the room. The location is really nice, close to montmartre but the street is quiet and the beds were comfy. The staff were very friendly and helpful! - British Girl

Le Montclair Montmartre by River

This hostel is part of the Hiphop Hostel chain, which has many locations around Paris (including others in Montmartre). The location is fantastic, as it's very close to shops, restaurants, cafes, and the cathedral. It's also near several metro stations.

A good number of younger travelers stay here, which means that this hostel is often quite social and fun for guests who want to meet up with other travelers. The breakfasts are a nice way to get everyone together, and the common rooms are comfortable and social, especially during the busy summer season.

The hostel itself is run by a staff of friendly professionals that will help you with everything you need. A long list of amenities is provided, too.

The Facilities

Dorms
Dorm Bed $101.96
Dorms are basic but well furnished here. Bunks have plugs and lights for each bed in the smaller rooms (4-beds), and the larger 6-bed rooms don't have as many plugs but still have enough. Storage lockers are provided for your valuables, but are not large enough for luggage or backpacks. Rooms have ensuite bathrooms and plenty of light. Linens are included. An all-female dorm is available, too.
Private Rooms
Private Room $22.14
Private rooms here are nicely appointed and have the feel of a simple hotel room. Double rooms and dorm-style rooms can be booked. The double rooms are great for couples, as they have one large bed, and ensuite bathroom, and nice windows.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are modern and clean. Every room has an ensuite bathroom, which is very convenient even if you're staying in a 6-bed dorm. The facilities are modern, clean, and plenty of hot water is available, too. While they can be a little small, this is typical for Paris.
Common Areas
The common area is very comfortable and fun. With guitars, foosball, video games, books, board games, and comfortable seating, this is a nice place to hang out, meet up with new friends, and plan your time in Paris.

The other common area is the breakfast room and kitchen. The breakfast is a nice way to meet up with others, and the kitchen is usually busy, too, if you want to cook you own meal and chat with other guests.

The Location

Montmartre
The historic and delightful Montmartre neighborhood is full of shops, restaurants, and residences all centered around the famous Sacre-Coeur cathedral on the north side of Paris. Wind your way around the old narrow streets, many of which are made of stairs, to find the next hidden gem. Don't forget your camera!
What's Nearby?
As this hostel is located on the north side of Montmartre, it is close to the Sacre-Coeur cathedral as well as plenty of restaurants, shops, and a few museums. The area is a good mix of touristy and residential, with every block having shops and restaurants to choose from. A few small parks can also be found nearby.

A grocery store is also around the corner, along with a library and a pharmacy.
Nearby Transportation
Several metro stations are nearby, with the closest being only one block away! and they will take anywhere in Paris quickly. Line 4 (Marcadet-Poissonniers station) and line 12 (Jules Joffrin station) both serve the middle of Paris and can get you to the city center in minutes, or anywhere else if you change trains.

Several bus lines also make their way around the neighborhood.
