Hostel Les Piaules, Paris

To have a room on the topfloor with the breathtaking views is unbeatable! Nice and friendly international staff and fairly good breakfast . I was lucky with my 3 roommates zo lovely stay

For me the location didn't work as well as the other 'the people' location.

Comfortable beds, clean facilities, lovely staff & great location

Doesn't have communal spaces that aren't the bar/rooftop

Great location, close to subway. Clean rooms and bathroom. Cozy roof. Helpful staff.

No fridge for your own food, which is weird.

this place is fantastic and the staff was nice and helpful. it was an overall great experience and I would definitely come back here if I ever need to find a place to stay next time I visit the city.

The bed I had was a bit creaky, which did not really impact me on the spot but I'm not a fan of disturbing other people's sleep so it was awkward to move around and try not to make any noise.

Great location with cheap restaurants all around.

Lovely staff, good events, simple but good breakfast

Pillows were thin which made sleeping a little hard.

They were kind to consider the request that I had made at the time of reservation. Room, bed, locker and bathroom were clean. Breakfast was okay.

Staff, atmosphere, cleanness

The mattresses in the rooms. I had to change twice but in general there were uncomfortable.

Very nice staff, efficient, close to a metro station, everything is clean and well-maintained.

The shower's pressure and temperature were erratic! Maybe because I had a rooftop room.

Evry thing

Nothing

The staff is nice, the hall is cozy, bathrooms clean, location excellent. Walking distance from Gare du Nord if you come thru CDG; close to several attractions

I came in an extremely rainy February day, so I'd really appreciate more coat hangers in a 6-bed room. I couldn't find a place for a soaked coat :-( . This is minor, though. But easy to fix

Cleanliness

Beds

Bed is nice and comfortable, service is great. The entertainment is fantastic. Would definitely go back

I enjoyed the atmosphere inside, everything is made to make people feel comfortable and happy. There are night activities such as karaoke or DJ set. The breakfast is not as big as in a hotel but is nice. The location is a bit far from the center but still in a good position. From the terrace you can enjoy a 360°view of the city. If there is the sun you are able to see the Eiffel tower and The Basilique of Montmartre

The rooftop has a great view. You can see the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre. The hostel has a great vibe and is a short distance to the centre. Management were extremely helpful to ensure we got the most out of our stay.

Friendly staff and good environment. Cheap bars around the hotel and a good ENERGY

You need to look around in the AREA because there are poor people living in the streets. If you are coming from a night out a little DRUNK watch out!!

Poor breakfast. Comfy enough mattress and privacy curtains. Room lockers are adequate for small luggage. Interesting location with alternative vibe cafe and restaurant options and a great view of Paris from the nearby park. Metro a block away.

Breakfast was mediocre at best. Unimaginative, super basic, very weak coffee. Unfortunately, for early risers before 7 o’clock coffee is not available although brewed for staff coming in for their shift.🙁 Room floor dirty upon arrival and bathrooms need more care in the early evening.

One annoying guy was yelling on the phone all. night long and then started watching tiktok without headphones, when we talked to him, he ignored us and said he practically lives in the hostel. This could be solved by limiting the number of nights guests can stay to avoid these kind of people.

Great staff, super helpful when we needed them! Shared bathrooms were all clean and so was the room. The way the 4 people dorms are built guarantee privacy and comfort! Best comforter I’ve ever slept with hahaha

The beds are of really good quality and everything seems to be thought through. The overall vibe is amazing and it’s always welcoming.

There was only one male toilet on the floor and depending on what time you went it could be dirty.

It's a really good hostel for this price range, clean, good location in a really nice neighbourhood. The personnel was wonderful too.

Didn't get to meet a lot of people, it's not an ideal place to meet other travelers if you're alone.

I really enjoyed my stay at The People. The staff is nice, property is clean, bed is comfy and there were a lot of activities such as karaoke, brunch etc. For sure I will come back!

Been there many times, still the cosy and confortable place that it’s always been. Friendly staff, confortable bed, clean bathrooms and good location !

There seemed to be a problem with the heater in my bedroom : the heat in the room was good, but as soon as I got up on my upper bed, it was way too warm, so it was a bit hard to sleep. No more welcome drink, that’s it… the world is falling apart ^^

Super nice staff you have there!

Super difficult to climb up the ladder reaching your bed for some reason

Bed was clean, hostel provided all I need! It was clean and confortable. Room compact, so as were bathrooms. It was okay!

Small spaces in shower, also room quite packed. smal

Good beds with a curtain. Nice staff and cozy lounge area. Nice views from the balcony of our room

It was clean and well organized.

it was very hot at hight

Location was great, there are many restaurants and nice bars.

Everything was fine except the fact that some bed slats were missing in my bed so it wasnt possible to sit on it. (photos included). Breakfast was really basic, no fruits or vegetables.

Beds were fine, curtains help privacy. Every night there's an activity downstairs in the bar. Beautiful view from the rooftop.

Unfortunately I missed the kitchen, there are no tables and chairs in the room. So you have to eat downstairs or on the roof. You couldn't even make tea because there was no kettle.

I was moved to the bottom after I requested it so that was a plus

The bathroom did smell of sewage

Clean property, socket near bed , locker and location makes it perfect. Place has good vibe.

Location

There are no towels and a kitchen and one toilet for the whole floor

Easy to get to from the train station. Rooms were a little smaller than I expected but all in all really enjoyed my time there. Staff are amazing and very helpful!

The facilities at the party were great, the music, games to play, etc

There was only one men’s toilet for the entire floor.

I loved that downstairs in the bar area there were a lot of activities every night. As an introvert, I still managed to make some connections and the vibes were definitely there! The beds were very comfortable and the rooms warm, I also loved that there were curtains for some extra privacy.

The only critiques I have is that there is no kitchen, so that makes budgeting a bit harder. Also there were no towels provided, which I am used to at hostels, so you had to rent one for 4 euros extra. Lastly the lights in the bathroom were sensor controlled, but in the showers there was no sensor (or not working) so unless there were other people the lights would turn off every 3 minutes and so you're left in a pitch black shower, which isn't the most pleasant experience. I hope they fix this issue.

The beds were comfortable and felt private even though I was in a 6-bed dorm thanks to the privacy curtains. The lockers were plenty big for my bag and locks were sold at the bar to keep your belongings safe. The rooms and bathrooms seemed decently clean and I saw the cleaners multiple times throughout my stay which was reassuring. The bar was nice and had good drinks and delicious croques/toasted sandwiches. There was a Halloween party the first night I stayed which was fun and the other hostelers I talked to were friendly. Most people were pretty quiet which I liked as an introvert. The reception and bar staff seemed nice enough. There are a lot of good restaurant options around as well and not in a super touristy area.

A bit out of the way but very easy to get to central Paris by Metro. Area is not touristy and felt a bit unsure walking at night as a solo female traveller but that’s par for the course and I wasn’t bothered by anyone. A slight smell of sewage in the bathroom at times but not noticeable elsewhere in the hostel.

This was my second stay at Peoples in Belllvile and I came back because my first stay was also great. It is easy to catch the metro also there is a lot of great food in walking distance. The staff is upbeat, helpful and they create a social atmosphere.

The top bunk is really high with not enough to hold on too. It would also be nice if there was a refrigerator and Microwave available for guest.

The rooms are good, the staff were really nice. There were evenings with live music and it was amazing! Great hostel overall

There is no kitchen for guests

Nice surroundings in the centre of Paris. the staff is helpful and friendly. As i did not come to Paris for several years it has been a great experience

Breakfast was good (Croissants, coffee, juice, 2 cheeses, baguette and jam). Comfortable beds, super clean and regularly cleaned. Quiet rooms despite bar below. 5 mins to metro "Couronnes", great food in Oberkampf (10 mins) from all nationalities.

Be aware that the bathrooms are not in the room. This was unclear on the Booking.com website. Not a big problem for us as kids are teenagers, but for families with younger kids it could be an organisational challenge.

Location

Have to rent towel or have your own

Strategic location though for from the city Centre but easily accessible via bus and train

No mirror in the rooms

Nice People and great Bar to chill and work. Comfy beds and clean bathroom.

It isn‘t cheap, but i think its okay for Paris.

Really nice hostel with clean facilities and nice bed with curtain, as well as big lockers. The rooftop terrace was amazing with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Also a nice bar/ restaurant at the bottom to sit in. I only stayed one night so I don’t have anything to say about how social or unsocial it was. Really close to metro.

Nothing :)

Very clean, nice staff, delicious breakfast, good location and nice facilities

No mirror in dorms and mirror in bathroom too tall. Not enough hooks / shelves

The breakfast! Yum. The beds were comfy. Nice common area to sit in.

Pretty expensive, the doors to the rooms close loudly, a staff member came in to unplug a light on a bed which broke the side of my bed and send all my toiletries down into the dirt, she then got a stick with tape for me to one by one pick them up. Obviously didn’t do it on purpose but it was quite frustrating and she could have communicated what she was doing as I was left to clean up the mess.

The beds were super comfy and had curtains which is a big plus for privacy

The rooms were a bit small so found it hard to access my luggage comfortably

Staff were friendly, I stayed a double room on the rooftop and the view of the city was good. The condition of the room was ok. Also I could meet a lot of other travelers in the bar downstairs

The water pressure from the tap was a bit weak.

Very clean and private, even it is a shared room, you get to hide in you bed, without being disturbed by other guests

Location is a little far from everything.
