About

Young & Happy Hostel opened in 1983 and it was the first independent hostel

It's located in the historical and famous Rue Mouffetard, a perfect district for the local people, the tourists, and the students. Ernest Hemingway refers to it, in “The Moveable Feast” as that, “quaint little shopping street” Known worldwide for its bars, its galleries, its restaurants and its atmosphere, the Latin quarter is a wonderful place of Paris. You could visit the Cathédrale Notre-Dame, the gardens of Luxembourg, the Jardin Botanique, the Panthéon , because they are near our hostel. Moreover, all the activities, and touristic sites of Paris are easily accessible by the subway.
The Young and Happy Hostel,is the perfect hostel of the traveler: we sleep in its dormitory, we play at its football table, we cook there, and we sit together with travelers from the world,making friends for an indefinite time or for the life..
Let's Go Europe 2007 called Young & Happy :' A backpacker's home away from home'. The lively atmosphere, clean rooms and relaxed staff make for an enjoyable stay.
Enjoy our Happy Hour where people meet and make memories in one of the most beautiful place in the French Capital.
The Wi-Fi is free in the entire hostel, and the rooms are cleaned every day also, without extra fees. We don't have elevator.

Really good location and room cleanliness good just bathroom cleanliness not so good. Noisy beds but spacious rooms. However chargers placed in weird locations. Would recommend to stay if you are on a budget but take noise cancelling headphones.

I only stayed here for one night but it was perfectly fine for a quick stay. It was clean and I chose it for the location because it’s right in the Latin Quarter- lots of cute cafés in the area. The only thing I didn’t like was having to go down two levels to use the shower or toilet (I was on level 4).
