The People - Paris Marais

Considering the price and location, it seems like a reasonable choice, and I would recommend it. The two staff members at the front desk are pleasant and helpful, although they are often quite busy. While the 3 p.m. check-in time is acceptable, perhaps a system for distributing tickets to those waiting would be beneficial, ensuring a first-come, first-served approach. I arrived at 2 p.m., and the lobby was already crowded, with no available seating. When check-in commenced, everyone rushed the counter, and the two staff members were overwhelmed. The water pressure was quite low. Additionally, I have not encountered toilet paper rolls of such a narrow size before. These two factors, likely implemented for cost-saving purposes, may ultimately lead to increased consumption.

I booked a bed in a 4-Bed Women Only Dormitory – Private Bathroom. Here are the pros and cons for your consideration: Pros: - Good location: 2-minute walk to the metro (M7) and bus stop (Sully-Morland), 5-minute walk to a minimart (Franprix) - The staff is very service-minded - Super clean: bed, bathroom, and shared area - Separate shared bathrooms for males and females - Good security: you need a key card to access your floor and your room - Easy and quick check-in - There’s a locker to keep your belongings (you need to provide your own key, and large lockers are charged if needed) Cons: - Bath towel costs €4 - No amenities in the private bathroom (no shower gel or shampoo), but toilet paper is provided - When you shower, water only flows for about 10 seconds per tap, so you need to tap frequently - Water in the private bathroom is very slow; it’s better to use the shared bathroom Overall, I loved it! I will stay here again if I visit Paris next time.

Location is good and safe. Very close to metro and easy to get to Orly airport. Room is nice and well equipped, stayed in a 4 bed dorm with bath room inside felt like in a small hotel. The only issue is that there is no luggage storage. There are paid lockers which is fine, but you don’t know which locker you get before you pay, and there might be chance getting an upper locker for a big suitcase that is too difficult to put into.

Great location, walkable to most major attractions. Room is well laid out and staff is helpful

Good location, but the hotel toilet on level 6 is under renovation, so guests have to use the one on level 4. The shower water also stops frequently — you need to keep pressing the button every second while bathing.

I'd consider putting shampoo bottle pumps in (at least) shared bathrooms. You provide accommodation for people who clearly try to save up on many things among which is baggage and therefore the amount of bottles one can put in it. Nearby shops rarely have those travel mini format shampoos and gels - it won't cost much to buy at least wholesale bottles of the cheapest shampoo (with pumps for economy use). On the whole I had an excellent stay. Safe area, friendly staff, cozy beds, cool breakfast on the 2nd floor
