The People - Paris Bercy Reviews

Pro: Fast and effective check in and check out Friendly staff Clean surroundings 24 hour staff availability Cons Little to no ventilation in rooms. I felt breathless at all times. A very strange way of organising toilets. They have two separate rooms: one for ablutions and another for bathing. The former does not have a washbasin. So if one has to wash his/her hands after doing the ‘job’ they have to come out and then go in the other room. God forbid if that room is occupied at that time. You are then left standing with soiled hands. Not many activities to do in the hostel. I’ve been to a fair number of hostels across Europe and they are generally very lively places. But this one particularly gave out a very sad vibe. The staff is clueless about major transit or tourist options. I asked one of the staff about the train to take to Versailles, and he just shrugged and told me that since he had never been to Versailles he could not help me. Overall it’s an average hostel and considering that it’s a little far away from the city centre, it can be avoided.
