Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely recommend this hostel for anyone looking to stay near the Canal during their visit. The four-person rooms on the rooftop were some of the best hostel accommodation I have had.

Booked this due to its proximity to the Eurostar station. Didn’t realise it was more of a party hostel. Music downstairs/surrounding area was a bit noisy when trying to sleep. Also booked a room for six but the room was really tiny with not much space to even move around. Expected a bit more considering it has a good rating.
We did not stay here even though we paid for 3 nights. We have never been to Paris and based on previous reviews we booked this place. Our taxi cab driver on the way to this place, told us this is not a safe area. None of the pictures that were shown shows the area around this place. No one with kids would ever pick this place and feel that it is safe area. This place is non refundable so buyer beware. We lost over $1,000 by not receiving a refund because it’s not a safe area. Our unbiassed taxi cab driver took us to another location and made sure that we were in another safe place and area, he even reached out to us after a couple of days to make sure we were safe….
It was okay my stay but U cannot say that I enjoyed my time at The People Belleville Paris, unfortunately. Firstly, due to being put in a mixed room when I have reserved a female room only and have the unpleasant surprise to find out that was not the case. Further to that, the bathroom smelled bad when left with the door closed after a while and the hangers were rusty inside the bathroom as well. The only good thing was that it had a hair dryer available in the room. The surrounding were not safe and I felt a bit scared walking there late at night from the closest metro station to the hostel. Plus, the hostel charged my a city tax that I was not aware at all during the check-in. This was not really clear in the advertisement in the Expedia and I was quite surprised to have to pay an extra tax to have the ‘right’ to stay in a hostel, as if the fees I paid for the room were not enough. The practice of passing this extra cost to the guests is not a nice practice at all and should be reviewed.
Really amazing stay, I was very impressed with the quality of the accommodation for the price. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The bar/restaurant on-site is great. I really appreciated that there were curtains in the bed to make for more privacy when sleeping. Comfy bedding! The view from the rooftop is amazing! I've found my new go-to spot when in Paris.
My third or fourth time staying at this place. Still fully enjoying it :)
Confortable beds, clean showers and decent facilities.
Nice and cosy bar downstairs, where you can also enjoy a nice and affordable breakfast in the morning.
The location is probably not the best, but there's a subway station not far from the hostel, so it makes it easy to access the city center.
Go for it !
