The People Belleville

The room is clean, but very dark with dim light and no light at the (tiny) sitting area. Beside the beds, there is one tiny sitting area that fit an open suitcase,so only one person can open their suitcase at a time. The bunk bed top is DANGEROUS. I fell down every time i tried to get down, was very concerned i might break my back or shoulder due to lack of rail to grip. The top beds are high but the stair up is badly designed. There is also no rail on the bed side so i felt unsafe sleeping at night. The bed is spacious and clean. The shared toilet was clean. The staffs were friendly and helpful. There is no kitchen and no way to even brew tea. The breakfast is a joke, the coffee tasted the worst i had in my whole trip, worse than the 1 euro auto coffee machine even. Overall, i won't recommend or going back due to safety concerns and lack of kitchen. I'd recommend go to the people bercy as it has kitchen and safer bed stair.

Great vibe and effort from the team! Overall, everything was great for a hostel. The place is quite clean, all the infrastructure works well, and you can see they really care about creating a good experience. During my stay, there was something happening almost every night — jazz jams, live music on two evenings, and even a DJ night. It’s clear that the team isn’t just running a hostel — they’re putting their heart into building a place with soul and community. No complaints at all. Solid five stars from me!

I stayed in the girls only room with six beds. The rooms were clean, each bed had a curtain, one electric outlet and a little light. The bathrooms seemed like they were cleaned regularly. They do not provide shower soap, so bring your own. Bring your own locks for storage lockers, and your own towels. There is no kitchen, so there is no place to store leftover food. Also, you can’t prepare your own breakfast/meals. Their café has no vegan options. The rooftop has a nice view of the city. You can see the Eiffel Tower from the top. The hostel is well connected to Transit, with two train stations within walking distance.

My stay at the hostel was unfortunately well below expectations. I had specifically booked a male-only room (which costs extra), but women were also checked into the same room. This raises concerns about the consistency of room assignments — I wonder if the same could happen in female-only rooms.||The bathrooms on the upper floors were extremely humid, to the point where it felt like being in a sauna.||Despite having paid for late check-out, I was woken up and asked to leave at the regular check-out time. I had to inform the staff myself that I had purchased late check-out — this information should already be known to the hostel team.||On the positive side, the hostel is in a good location.

Lively youth hostel set over a neighborhood bar. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with cozy bunks. We loved the excellent jazz nights, and the feel of being integrated into the lively Belleville neighborhood. We found the staff to be kind and very responsive. Their " Big Ass Break fast" is delicious and hearty, and they make the best "Grand Crème" we had in France. It's a space that keeps you coming back with it's quirky blend of Hosteling and neighborhood hangout. Surrounding Belleville is a multicultural melting pot, with excellent food, music and parks abounding and easy access to the rest of the city. The view from the rooftop terrace includes Sacré Coeur and the Eiffel tower, and is worth a visit on its' own terms. I have kept returning after multiple visits, and you can bet I will be back. Merci à toute l'équipe!

Great experience in my first hostel, room are comfortable and good privacy as well as storage for luggage. Bathrooms were always clean and fresh. 24/7 was a blessing and they are all so friendly. Definitely recommend this as an affordable option in Paris

Compact room but well-equipped and just steps from the metro station—super convenient. The staff were really nice and friendly, which made the stay even better. Loved the bar downstairs too—great vibes and they even had some events going on while I was there. Would stay again!

Whilst the location was conveniently close to two separate metro stations (2 & 4 minutes away) the area felt very sketchy and unsafe. I solo travelled and have never felt so unsafe in my life. Very dirty surrounding area. The hostel itself was okay, rooms are very small. Bed was reasonably comfy. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers for an entire floor and didn’t like how it was right next to the male bathroom. Rooftop was beautiful
