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!
Nicholas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Excellent - highly recommend!

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.

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.
Aaron, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

We did not stay here even though we paid for 3 nights. We have never been to Paris and based on previous reviews we booked this place. Our taxi cab driver on the way to this place, told us this is not a safe area. None of the pictures that were shown shows the area around this place. No one with kids would ever pick this place and feel that it is safe area. This place is non refundable so buyer beware. We lost over $1,000 by not receiving a refund because it’s not a safe area. Our unbiassed taxi cab driver took us to another location and made sure that we were in another safe place and area, he even reached out to us after a couple of days to make sure we were safe….

ドミトリーとしてはかなり良いと思いました。部屋では基本カーテンを閉めていて、プライバシーが保たれている感じがありました。シャワーとトイレは部屋の外にあり、男女別で複数あるので待つこともなく、清潔でした。朝食の品数は多くないものの、キッシュがとても美味しかったです。

OK - If you are looking for a hostel

Good accommodation. Good location. Bed (top bunk) difficult to reach via the ladder if you are not very mobile. Had a good nights sleep.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was okay my stay but U cannot say that I enjoyed my time at The People Belleville Paris, unfortunately. Firstly, due to being put in a mixed room when I have reserved a female room only and have the unpleasant surprise to find out that was not the case. Further to that, the bathroom smelled bad when left with the door closed after a while and the hangers were rusty inside the bathroom as well. The only good thing was that it had a hair dryer available in the room. The surrounding were not safe and I felt a bit scared walking there late at night from the closest metro station to the hostel. Plus, the hostel charged my a city tax that I was not aware at all during the check-in. This was not really clear in the advertisement in the Expedia and I was quite surprised to have to pay an extra tax to have the ‘right’ to stay in a hostel, as if the fees I paid for the room were not enough. The practice of passing this extra cost to the guests is not a nice practice at all and should be reviewed.

Staff was so friendly! Property was clean and the privacy curtains were nice! Very close to the metro!

Security and safety issues

The bed is comfortable with a curtain. Checkin staff is friendly. However , the curtain has some marks on it. And the room door requires extra attention to ensure the door is knocked. I guess there is someone forgot to knock it on one day. And at that time , the room only has me. I just woke and I see someone open the door and close Immediately when I try to look at who wanted to enter the room!!

El servicio es bueno, los chicos son amables y serviciales, las instalaciones son cómodas en general, es verdad que las camas altas son muy altas y las habitaciones son pequeñas pero sirve su uso de llegar a dormir, asearse y listo. Respecto a la limpieza del baño es cuestionable, la suciedad se queda ahí por días y de las habitaciones, la ropa de cama tenia cabellos Los alrededores del lugar son buenos, encuentras restaurantes de todo tipo, panaderías, cafeterías y comida rápida además de estar a solo 2mins de una estación de metro lo cual lo hace muy práctico
