I really enjoyed my stay the The People Paris Marais. Overall positive stay with some areas for improvement. For context, I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm with an ensuite. Room: well set up beds with slide, light and charger. Beds are already made and has a privacy curtain. Locker bin type things are good but aren’t the right dimensions even for a small rolly bag. The big downside is the room doesn’t have a/c which they term as being more ‘eco-friendly’ which I just don’t buy - they don’t have the infrastructure and it’s costly therefore I believe that to be greenwashing. This meant the room got warm overnight, leading to leaving the window open which was noisy. Bring a lock, eye mask and ear plugs! Room was very clean - one of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed in. Bathroom: Clean modern bathroom. Two areas for improvement. The quick fix - add hangers and a shower holder!! Made it very tricky to shower, hang towel, hang bag to get changed, place toiletries, wash in the shower etc. The other needed fix - it’s a push plug to shower. These are manageable when it lasts say 30 seconds, this one lasted 2-5 seconds per push which made showering very, very challenging for a long haired girlie. Please extend the length of the push! :) Location: not far from cool streets and bakeries in Le Marais and metro. Easy as a walking starting point to explore the city, although the street itself is not anything special. Overall: Very clean hostel with a good location.

“A great value”

The room met our needs. While there isn't AC (which we knew in advance) they did provide us with a fan that was much appreciated. The windows were a little hard to open on account of the curtains.

The room met our needs. While there isn't AC (which we knew in advance) they did provide us with a fan that was much appreciated. The windows were a little hard to open on account of the curtains. The location was fantastic, very close to the Sully-Morland metro stop. It was also very peaceful (no one running up and down the hallways, no loud music, etc.). The restaurant/bar is insulated from the floors of sleeping space by mysterious inaccessible floors above and below. The shared kitchen needs more staff oversight and directions. There are two small dorm size fridges that are cleaned out weekly. Because of their smaller size I would recommend throwing out food more than once a week. I appreciated not being micromanaged, but I feel that there needed to be more direction regarding use of the kitchen facilities. The provided towels/sponge/cleaning cloths needed to be maintained better/more frequently. There also needed to be oven mitts, especially since the day we used the oven was the day the dishtowels had mysteriously disappeared. Labeled drawers (silverware, pots/pans, baking pans, etc.) would have been helpful as I seemed to play hostess every time someone was looking for something while I was there.

“3/5 – Good atmosphere, but uncomfortably hot room”

The place itself was nice with a great atmosphere, but the room was extremely hot—like sleeping in a sauna. There was no A/C, no fan, and the window couldn’t be opened, making it unbearable during summer. This might be more enjoyable in colder seasons, but I wouldn’t recommend it for warm weather.
