Bring your own toiletries. Don't expect a lot (it's really cheap so, go figure). Location wise, it was well located as I have to catch the train at Chamartin.

Dirty Bathroom, jammed up over crowded rooms. Lockers busted can’t get assistance from staff. The hostile was more for homeless and drug addicts. I ended up leaving and staying at a hotel up the street. And when you did find a staff member, they acted like you were bothering them. It was terrible. I managed to get out safely. Everything was fine after that.

I was supposed to stay here for 9 nights, but I left first thing in the morning after the first night and went to a hotel. The beds were actually air mattresses with one small blanket, and there were no lockers or anywhere to put your belongings except in the room, where they got in the way of others or could be stolen. Between people screaming their heads off in the middle of the night and pushing others, the broken shower, and the disgusting toilets, I would recommend sleeping on the street over this place. I felt so unsafe that I broke out in stress hives for the next several days.
