The Hostel is great for some chill nights of sleep, the best shower I've ever had staying in hostels and the male staff were super nice - can't say the same about the girls unfortunately. Overall a good experience but I really disliked the area, drug dealers in the corner, pickpockets on the port and super dark alleys, as a female solo traveler Marseille in general wasn't a smart move.

Nice ho(s)tel hidden in the centre of town.

The hostel is pretty nice: rooms seemed clean and facilities were nice. However, I had to get a low score for how I was treated a check-in. Receptionist was rude and unwelcoming. Also the terrace was closed with no explanations.

Reception staff, Thhais, is very helpful!

Hostels are hostels which you do not usually expect a lot for comfort and luxury. Cleanness and safety are very important and The People has achieved those. The location is also perfect for going around the city and there is plenty space for relaxation, too.

Good location, clean, overall positive

Location of this place was good, walking distance to train station and to the waterfront. Property was mostly clean (floors were not that clean), the sleeping pods were function and well maintained. Wifi was also good. I just wished they had a bit more substantive kitchen instead of just a microwave and fridge.
