Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hallway needs simple repairs, paint, and carpet. Otherwise, the room was clean and nice. Wonderful to have air conditioning in Paris. The rooftop restaurant outside seating was hard to get a seat.
I only stayed for a very short night.
Location is great, bed was comfortable and clean, as well as the shared bathroom.
My only issue was with the man at the check in on my arrival: horrendous behaviour, unhelpful, unprofessional and seemed to be bothered with any questions I asked him. No explanation of the place, or how to use the lift to get to your room.
Really great hostel
Great breakfast
Clean and well connected
My only annoyance was the ladder to the beds was extremely noisy and where they had repaired the wall it didn’t leave enough space for the door so every time someone left the room the door would scrape against the wood and be unnecessarily loud.
But these were very minor problems and one very specific to just the room I happened to be in. A excellent hostel for a very reasonable price comparative to Paris hotels
In my opinion, and if you accept that that this is a hostel - not a hotel - this is incredible deal! Great location, great views, a great and friendly vibe, and all at a great price!
One of my favourite hostels in Paris. Have stayed here number of times and never disappoints. Location, room and roof top are the highlights. I like how it's close to the station, supermarket next door and plenty of eateries near by.
Pretty good hostel, clean overall and close to the metro. The room smelled absolutely terrible though. Rooms are very small and cramped, and get hot even in November.
Love the People Hostel, neat and tidy, great roof bar with awesome Paris view, super convenient transport, nice staff, if the toilet facility and cleaniness can be improved and have cooking facilities as Bercy hostel then it will be excellent for budget traveller
Really conveniently located, well connected to key areas of Paris and some great food options nearby. Staff were really helpful and the quality of accomodation was great. Beds were comfy and facilities were clean and well maintained. Despite being on a busy roundabout, it was quiet inside. Would definitely stay here again.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the beds in the dorms were comfortable and clean. And the rooftop bar was a lovely place to relax. Would definitely recommend!
