The People - Paris Nation - Hostel

Overall, I would not recommend staying here if you want to stay in a dorm The location is a big plus. It is just next to Nation Metro Station, which is very convenient. There is also a bus stop nearby with a direct bus to the airport. I stayed for one night in a 6-bed female dorm. The bed was comfortable, but it was difficult to climb up to the top bunk. There was enough space inside the room to open a large suitcase, which was convenient. However, I had a disappointing experience with the service. The lamp at my bed was not working because the battery had run out. I went downstairs to ask the receptionist around 10:30 PM if the battery could be replaced, as I needed to finish some work on my laptop and didn’t want to disturb the girls who were already sleeping. The receptionist said they didn’t have any batteries and couldn’t help me. I then asked if I could change beds, as I noticed that two beds were available in the room, but he said no and did not offer any alternative solution. As a result, I couldn’t see properly when I needed to get up to my bunk and had to use my phone’s flashlight, which unfortunately disturbed the other girls in the room. The bathroom also had an unpleasant smell, and the overall cleanliness could be improved. I arrived around 4:30 PM, but the cleaner was still cleaning the room and had not finished yet. The breakfast was okay, especially considering that it only costs €5.
