This is my "go to" hostel when visiting Paris and I like the way it is. Unfortunately, this time I had a very horrid experience. I was staying in a room with 4 bed bunks. I was awaken by a drunk quasi homeless guy at around 4 in the morning. He opened my curtain and asked me to leave the room, claiming that he had booked the entire room to himself. I told him there must have been a mistake and he should talk to the reception. He kept blabbering and swearing and started smoking in the room and kept the lights full on. He went downstairs and came back to open my curtain once again. At this point I was scared about my safety. I didn't want to confront a drunk person nor get into any kind of verbal disagreement. I decided to pack my stuff and to spend the next 3 hours in the lounge till it was time for me to leave for the airport. Needless to say I was stressed and super tired about this whole ordeal. The guy at the reception was new and he tried his best to help, he wanted to confront the drunk guy but I stopped him as I thought it was pointless. There was no way I would go back to a room and spend time being worried about what this delirious person might pull off as his next drunk stunt. The reception guy told me that he had paid for only one bunk bed and he complained to him for having me in that room since he was looking forward to having a room complete to himself. I feel that the management should have some sort of policy or standard on who they have as their guests. A Drunk Quasi Homeless Person doesn't suit the standard of this otherwise great hostel. Very disappointed!
