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

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.

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.

My third or fourth time staying at this place. Still fully enjoying it :) Confortable beds, clean showers and decent facilities. Nice and cosy bar downstairs, where you can also enjoy a nice and affordable breakfast in the morning. The location is probably not the best, but there's a subway station not far from the hostel, so it makes it easy to access the city center. Go for it !

Fantastic hostel for a solo female traveller! Cannot recommend enough. Location is a little removed from the main tourist areas. Personally, that wasn't an issue for me but it's definitely something to consider if that's important to you. Even if it is, there are two metro stations within a block of the hostel! I would highly recommend staying here when you come to Paris!

People who say that it is in the middle of nowhere need their head examined. Yes it isn't next to the Eiffel Tower, but not everything in Paris is near each other, in fact most things aren't! The bar on the first floor seems to have a bit of a cult following, with regulars coming in that are always good to give advise on what to do or see. Only thing to criticise is probably the second bunk being too high, the lockers should be moved from being under the bottom bunk, and both bunks lowered. If I am ever transiting through Paris again, I'd definitely consider revisiting.

A 20-30 min ride to the city. Not many amenities are included and you’re charged for everything. I did not love the social atmosphere.
