Pretty good hostel, clean overall and close to the metro. The room smelled absolutely terrible though. Rooms are very small and cramped, and get hot even in November.
In my opinion, and if you accept that that this is a hostel - not a hotel - this is incredible deal! Great location, great views, a great and friendly vibe, and all at a great price!
Love the People Hostel, neat and tidy, great roof bar with awesome Paris view, super convenient transport, nice staff, if the toilet facility and cleaniness can be improved and have cooking facilities as Bercy hostel then it will be excellent for budget traveller
One of my favourite hostels in Paris. Have stayed here number of times and never disappoints. Location, room and roof top are the highlights. I like how it's close to the station, supermarket next door and plenty of eateries near by.
Really conveniently located, well connected to key areas of Paris and some great food options nearby. Staff were really helpful and the quality of accomodation was great. Beds were comfy and facilities were clean and well maintained. Despite being on a busy roundabout, it was quiet inside. Would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Room comfort
The bed wasn't very comfortable, and the pillows were terrible. There was only one towel and no bathroom mat. It wasn't a very comfortable room, but the location was excellent, right in front of the metro. And from my room, I could see the tip of the Eiffel Tower.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the beds in the dorms were comfortable and clean. And the rooftop bar was a lovely place to relax. Would definitely recommend!
Generally okay to stay for short night. There was a homeless who try to get in when I was check in. It made me feel this hostel may not be safe enough. The bed was fine , the room temperature was okay but a bit dry air. Toilet was okay. Nothing was too much dirty.
I checked-in late around 23:30 tired from a long trip and my bed wasn’t done, was dirty of previous guest. I requested another room as was the fastest solution but the night receptionist told me that they were fully booked, therefore, arranged the bed for me as fast as he could.
On the other hand, there was an elder gentleman 70+ in the room with urine issues and all the room was smelling really badly and next day I found the diapers in the floor next to my locker. The staff of the hotel was aware but the explanation after I checked out was that they couldn’t moved him or us and just apologise for the inconvenience. The sound of the air con in the room was noisy and was difficult to have a good sleep with all this issues. I like staying at The People Nation, is my favourite in Paris but this time it was not the experience I was looking for.

A hostal that is not a true hostal
The place is very well located, close to a train station and in front of a metro station. The beds are comfortable and the
Stayed at a 4 beds shared bedroom. Nothing to complain at all, and the location is very convenient. Supermarket just beside and metro station in front.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The restrooms were rather dirty and smaller. The showers were also small.The bunk bed room was ...small. To put it in a nutshell too much promiscuity and lack of maintenance. Lack of cleanliness too, oh one receptionist boy liked to be flirtatious with some female guests instead of dealing with bookings rapidly.
