Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely recommend this hostel for anyone looking to stay near the Canal during their visit. The four-person rooms on the rooftop were some of the best hostel accommodation I have had.
The overall experience was great. It is a nice Hostel with Friendly Staff and good Installations. It was a bit noisy at night, but bearable (Inside at the lobby... and outside)
I could recommend it no problem.
Very good experience as a first time solo traveler. The vibe of the place is unique and the staff were great too.

5 star hotel
I fully recommend The People Paris, from the very friendly check in girl, the barmen etc all couldn’t be more helpful and do enough for me!
The hotel is located next to two Metro stations (2 or 5 minutes walk) so perfect for discovering the capital French city easily, which I did!
Booked this due to its proximity to the Eurostar station. Didn’t realise it was more of a party hostel. Music downstairs/surrounding area was a bit noisy when trying to sleep. Also booked a room for six but the room was really tiny with not much space to even move around. Expected a bit more considering it has a good rating.
Really amazing stay, I was very impressed with the quality of the accommodation for the price. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The bar/restaurant on-site is great. I really appreciated that there were curtains in the bed to make for more privacy when sleeping. Comfy bedding! The view from the rooftop is amazing! I've found my new go-to spot when in Paris.
Good place to stay on a budget in Paris. Clean, friendly and professional. I will definitely return and recommend. Stay there 20-22 Feb 2023.
All the best to the team and keep up the great work.
My third or fourth time staying at this place. Still fully enjoying it :)
Confortable beds, clean showers and decent facilities.
Nice and cosy bar downstairs, where you can also enjoy a nice and affordable breakfast in the morning.
The location is probably not the best, but there's a subway station not far from the hostel, so it makes it easy to access the city center.
Go for it !
Fantastic hostel for a solo female traveller! Cannot recommend enough. Location is a little removed from the main tourist areas. Personally, that wasn't an issue for me but it's definitely something to consider if that's important to you. Even if it is, there are two metro stations within a block of the hostel! I would highly recommend staying here when you come to Paris!
