The hallway needs simple repairs, paint, and carpet. Otherwise, the room was clean and nice. Wonderful to have air conditioning in Paris. The rooftop restaurant outside seating was hard to get a seat.

Really great hostel

Great breakfast

Clean and well connected

My only annoyance was the ladder to the beds was extremely noisy and where they had repaired the wall it didn’t leave enough space for the door so every time someone left the room the door would scrape against the wood and be unnecessarily loud.

But these were very minor problems and one very specific to just the room I happened to be in. A excellent hostel for a very reasonable price comparative to Paris hotels

I only stayed for a very short night.
Location is great, bed was comfortable and clean, as well as the shared bathroom.
My only issue was with the man at the check in on my arrival: horrendous behaviour, unhelpful, unprofessional and seemed to be bothered with any questions I asked him. No explanation of the place, or how to use the lift to get to your room.

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.

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.

Rooftop bar is incredible, everything else just OK

The rooftop cafe/bar is amazing. Everything else was, at best, satisfactory or average. My main complaint was that there's VERY little space in the dorm rooms - it felt very cramped. I know, it's PARIS and if you want space you're gonna pay big money for it. But given that there are lower-priced hostels in the city, I guess I was expecting a bit higher level of amenity here. The shower/bathroom facilities are nice and modern, but weren't very clean and there was water all over the bathroom floor from the showers. Still - the location of the hostel worked for me, given that I just needed a place near Gare de Lyon after a late evening train arrival. I was looking for a bed for one night and a place to shower before catching a flight home from Paris the next morning - so I suppose to that end my basic needs were met. Don't know that I'd book here again, though.

Comfy beds but steps to upper bunk are very loud and creaky, rooms are very cramped. Washrooms felt very dirty because water would collect on the floor and not dry up, causing a smell since there was no ventilation. No common area as well. Rooftop area is very popular with those at the hostel and locals alike therefore busy, so sometimes there was no seating. Location is great, lots around but not too busy and metro is right across.

The rooftop bar took too many reservations from people not staying at the hostel, so on multiple nights there wasn't any room to dine or to meet people staying there. The front desk staff were amazing, helpful, nice... the rooftop staff not so much. The rooms were great. The bathroom cleanliness depended on the day (clients at fault, just as it is with any hostels). The locations was amazing! The metro was steps away, market right next door, multiple restaurants, cafes, bar, and everything else you need.

This is one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in. The dorm rooms were very nice (with AC!), but I was especially impressed by the showers. Dual shower heads in a hostel?! The common area is on the top floor and includes a cute sitting area with a fantastic view of Paris. The area is pretty safe and right across the street from a metro (easy access to anywhere in the city). The only thing the hostel is missing is kitchen facilities. There's not even a microwave or fridge, but there is a grocery store literally right next door. Definitely recommend for a stay in Paris!

Great location with staffed front desk (and I stayed as a solo female traveler in the all-female dorm) so I felt safe for the duration of my stay! The bar/restaurant on the top floor had great eats and the breakfast buffet was tasty with pastries, fruits, coffee/juices. The rooms, beds, bathrooms and showers were all very clean, at least on my floor. The one gripe I had was that the bathroom floor in front of the showers would get pretty dangerously slippery since there were no mats outside the stalls, and water would pool after several people showering in the morning/nights. But overall it was a perfect place for a few nights in Paris on a budget. Would stay again!

Honest review incoming !

\"Way overpriced, Noisy restaurant above, AC broken, Rooms in disrepair, lockers non functional and expensive \".......

- Recently stayed at People - Nation, furious at the state of the rooms and level of photoshopping / lens angles used to mislead us.

Honestly speaking if we had not already paid prior to arriving through hotel.com I would have demanded a serious discount !

1 private room for myself and wife
Cost £120 per night

List of major issues faced:

-Broken luggage locker system, with added kicker of €15 for the privilege to leave your luggage with them....

-Plug socket fittings coming away from the wall
- Seriously overpriced and burnt taste - rip off coffee from a auto machine
-Noisy restaurant above room, chairs and footsteps are so loud
-Fit and finishing - room in disrepair , seen better days
-Broken missing glass light shades
-Mouldy shower trims all over
-AC clanking noises and only blows warm air
-Flaking paint all over
-Shower hot water takes 10 mins to heat up
-Room is tiny
-Heavy Construction directly in front of build in ng
-TV half coming off mount
-No TV channels available, expect you to connect through phone.

Only one saving graces was the location, central, mostly safe and busy, convenient shops, station 2 mins walk.

Completely stunned at the cost and quality of the place for that price.....

Heed my warning and hope this review can help others save a few bucks in an already overpriced city...

It was a nightmare not because it was a Halloween night. Bathroom was flooding all the time, hair dryers were not working, you can’t basically bring food in the property, you get charged on anything you need, boom-boom sound all through the night etc etc.
Location was good supermarket opens 24/7 right next door. It’s not worth how much I paid. Better to go to a proper hotel with extra 10 euros.

Not a social place

Beds and rooms are okay, but the place is not designed for backpackers. There is no kitchen, and the only social room is not free of charge (it is a restaurant, designed for wealthier visitors since it is a rooftop with a view). This place is not good for meeting people. Be prepared to smoke, eat and drink in the street like a homeless person. If you just come to sleep maybe this is okay but this place lacks basic hostel hospitality.
