The People - Paris Marais Reviews

Showers: The communal shower on the fourth floor feels more spacious, has a larger showerhead, and hooks, compared to the one in the room. Storage: Card payment is more convenient; you might not have coins. It's a maximum of 9 euros per day (remember to enter the locker number first, then the password when opening later). Supermarket: There's a chain supermarket, bookstore, and coffee shop nearby, across the street. Roommates: Mostly from neighboring European countries, very pleasant to chat with. Kitchen: You can boil water. Chinese guests might want to buy bottled water from the supermarket as the tap water has a slight taste. You can also heat baguettes, and all sorts of cutlery are available.

Overall, it was pretty good, with a couple minor issues: when the room was crowded, there was a slight odor (which is normal and understandable); during peak hours, the hot water wasn't very hot (but it was fine during off-peak times). For this price and location, what more could you ask for? It's already excellent!

I stayed at this hostel for 6 nights and was quite satisfied. The beds have curtains and there are lounges on each floor. The only downside is that only the 4th floor has a kitchen, which can get quite crowded. Also, the luggage storage in the basement might involve repeat charges, which is a bit of a hassle.

The location is nice near metro. Can walk to the city Staffs are very nice

I had room for 4 girls. The location is great - it’s close to Bastille and Norte dame, the metro is 3 mins of walking. It was comfy to get from Charles de Gaulle airport and the go to the airbus to reach Beauvais airport too. Staff is friendly. There’re groceries around and wending machine in the lobby. Kitchen is packed, but doesn’t have teapot. Beds are comfy. I’m 171 cm and it was enough space for me. Beds are packed with curtains, shelve and socket. There’s one bathroom per room, but there’re more in each floor. Hotel cafes about environment, but it has only one small recycling bin in the lobby. Cmon, add at least one bin to the kitchen. Otherwise, it looks like pretending being nature-careful.

Great location! The area feels safe overall, and the bed was clean and quiet, no creaking. There's a supermarket nearby and it's walking distance to the Merci store. If you're heading to the airport from here, I recommend taking the Quai de la Rapée line – it has very few stairs, so you won't have to struggle carrying your luggage up steps.

Overall, the cleanliness and facilities were pretty good. The biggest issue, though, was the showerhead in the bathroom – you'd press it, and it would only spray water for about 6 seconds, which was really frustrating. Also, there's no washing machine in the entire hotel, which isn't ideal for longer stays. On the bright side, the beer at the second-floor bar was good, and you get a 20% discount with your room card.

Everything was good except the room was a bit warm.

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.

The location is fantastic! It's about a 10-minute walk to Notre Dame to catch the sunset, and there's a metro station and a supermarket right around the corner. Within another 10-minute walk, you'll find plenty of restaurants and a very clean self-service laundry. The kitchenette is also spotless and well-equipped with all the necessary cookware and dishes.

The service was great, very warm and friendly. They charge for towels and padlocks. Storing luggage also costs money if you use their lockers (but it's free if you don't use a locker). The location is excellent, right by the Line 7 subway exit, and you can even get a weekly pass there. If you really don't have a photo, the handsome guys and pretty ladies at the front desk can help you print one for free. The room was cleaned and tidied every day. There's a restaurant on the second floor that's supposedly quite good. Within walking distance, there's a supermarket that's open until 11 PM. There are many highly-rated restaurants nearby, so you don't even need to take a car to enjoy great food.

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.

Really nice place, the kitchen and the restaurant both really nice, the pictures are my breakfast for 5 euro, quite nice

The hostel is in a great location. The room is nice, the mattress was a little bit hard to my taste. The breakfast was delicious.
