English term or phrase: hostel

A review of a hotel in Paris, France. Can I just say فندق? I don't have to say نزل الشباب or anything like that, can I? what do you think?
Thanks!

“medium hostel”
Not too bad, simple like the others hostels! Quite clean room, medium clean bathroom. Somethimes noisy nights, big breakfast as in every hostel i've visited. Good position, the area is uptown so u can come back in safety at night. kind receptionists

نُزُل

Explanation:
There are some differences between 'hotel' and 'hostel'. [Please check the following links.] So I would go for 'نُزُل' to differentiate 'hostel' from 'hotel'.

نزل الشباب Or بيت الشباب = youth hostel
