The People Strasbourg

No airco, so it can get very hot in summer, but a small fan is provided. The 4-person room with two floors is great. The bed is comfortable. The bunk bed is fancy which has its own mirror, outlet, curtain, and adjustable led light. Bathroom is less ideal, with water splashing from the shower, no bath mat and a clogged sink, but good water pressure. For a hostel, the room is excellent, though service and amenities are very basic. But for us is perfect.

I stayed just one night here with my young daughter. We had a private room which was excellent, with a very comfortable bed and a large shower with plenty of hot water. The only thing that would have been nice is a chair in the room; there was only a bed and a rack for hanging clothes. The hostel is located in an old tobacco factory, which is also a centre for cultural events, studios, bars, restaurants and creative workspaces. On the Friday night the large central courtyard was alive with locals meeting and chatting, which was great. The building is in a perfect part of town, a short walk from the cathedral island but over the canal and in the neighbourhood that is far less touristy and more a place for interesting little shops, local restaurants and beautiful squares to explore. The hostel has been built carefully with good noise isolation, so while there were bands playing downstairs we heard only the faintest rumble. It was great to be somewhere so comfortable but also lively. And because the central courtyard is not accessible to cars, children can play their safely. The breakfast in the morning was excellent, with a huge selection of pastries, breads, cereals, fresh quiche and fruit. The staff were all helpful and really friendly. I’d certainly recommend it to travellers of all ages; young, with family or elderly.

This hostel was great! There are opportunities to be social but also your own capsule bed is very private. The shared bathrooms are large and have many stalls available. They were very kind and upgraded me to a female only dorm which was very thoughtful. I got the breakfast included which has savoury and sweet pastries with fruit, yoghurt and juices. Perfectly fine for the extra money it cost. The check in and checkout process was easy and the staff were very kind. Bear in mind, luggage holding costs but it’s not very expensive. Overall I would stay here again!!

A great hostel, slightly more expensive than other hostel options but definitely worth it. Super clean rooms, clean sheets, slightly odd rooms but a full curtain for each bunk to let you sleep in if you want to, and an incredible location that’s well within walking distance of all the main Strasburg attractions. I had some technical difficulties with my online booking, but the staff were incredibly helpful all throughout and always around whenever you needed them. I’d highly recommend this place for a great location and place to stay, travelling solo or otherwise.

The rooms where nice, but i was there for 3 nights and the bathrooms in my floor where not working because of “maintenance” but there was nothing happening to get them fixed, the bathrooms available were the ones in the second floor only accessible from the stairs, and they closed them for cleaning in the mornings (they could have cleaned them in other hours if they had one floor closed). So basically they had 3 toilets and 3 showers for 3 days for like 20 rooms, a joke! And they charge per hour for you to store your luggage, you can leave it outside but anyone has access to the door. (Read a coment of a guy that they stole his luggage) Its the first time I’ve heard a hostal charge their own guest for storing their luggage.

Femal solo traveler here. I stayed at The People from December 24-27, it was obviously a busy season but the hostel was well kept even so. I found it to have a great location since it was only a short walk to the Cathedral. It is also accessible by tram. The location is also close to the area full of asian restaurants, a good find!!! The in-house restaurant/bar was okay though the breakfast buffet felt lacking. A little more selection would've been better. The staff were nice and I even had a chat with the cleaning service lady in my room. The room I stayed in was a 6-bed mixed dormitory with an en suite sink. It was spacious and the amenities were good. There were no lockers however. The common bathroom was also good, there were enough cubicles for the ladies. I would suggest having a hair dryer in it though. Overall, The People is a hostel I would recommend. It felt like a hotel already. This is a good place for people planning to stay during the Christmas season.

The room we had on the second floor was a double height with a mezzanine level. The two single beds were together downstairs as opposed to the bunk beds we expecting, but no real issue. However only one towel available so had to pinch some from reception. Also the shower barely drained and was quick to cover the bathroom floor. No Aircon in the rooms but at least there was a fan. There are no irons available to use so expect to go out for a night in Strasbourg a bit disheveled 😂 We had paid for breakfast but it wasn't worth it. Cereal and yoghurt was available but the bread was sparse, only a few slices of cheese and no hot food. Occasionally there was a quiche to cut but was quickly gone. Coffee was barely actual coffee and plates/cutlery/cups were frequently unavailable. The staff weren't particularly friendly or accommodating. They didn't ask for your breakfast voucher either so just go down and try your luck, although you'd be better off finding a nice local cafe, of which there are plenty. Fortunately our room was facing a side road so was quiet, unlike the central courtyard which got loud at nighttime. Despite the negatives, the room was comfy, good location, easy to get to, but grab your food somewhere else. As a side note Strasbourg has an air quality thing meaning you cannot drive your car in without getting a sticker from the government SIX weeks in advance. So don't accidentally drive into the restricted area or risk getting a big fine.

In general a pleasant stay but it should have been 5 stars and I can explain further. First and foremost, location is right next to the old town and near to the public transport so cannot ask for more about that. Second, room is kinda hot in the summer regardless of dorm or private room, very close to dying from heat. Owner has to do something about this. Third, which is why the rating is 4 instead of 2, the employee named Kamza was a role model of how hospitality should be like, tried to setup the football game, attentive and willing to go for the extra mile, she could be the manager of this place. Also the kitchen lady did a fantastic job on making all those food, first day had fish and chips, the fish was so fresh that I am actually in shock but the batter could improve but regardless. The girl checked me in and helped me to change my room also was worthy a name mention, sorry I don't know your name.. Last but not least, there is a complaint which I really do not want to mention, a girl named starts with J during my stay in the morning, was rude in terms of communications, which is the opposite of a role model. I would replace her but hey, not my problem :)
