The People - Paris Marais

I have stayed in different hostels in Asia and Europe, this is the worst one I have ever experienced so far (in terms of the hostel facilities). The only good thing I can think of is the cleanliness of the room. - They provide lockable storage box in the room which requires your own preparation of lock. But the size of storage was not big enough to fit a cabin suitcase or any larger item. - The bathroom, including the shower place, does not install any hook or rack, causing tremendous inconvenience to take shower or get change. The most inconvenient part is the water supply from the shower head is too limited, you can never rinse off the shampoo with one time of water supply. (You have to press the button to get water from the shower head) - Lack of common space. There is a common room on each floor, but not a huge space which allows you to gather people from all rooms. Not the ideal hostel if you want to meet people. - Small kitchen space: all the floors share a small cooking and dinning space with only around 2 ovens and 8 stoves in the kitchen. The air ventilation in the kitchen is not doing very well that you can smell the cooking gas right after you step in the floor. - Location: it is very close to a metro station, but the station is not on a junction of metro lines, it would be a bit inconvenient to travel around Paris. And not to mention that the front desk is extremely unhelpful. After all, there are better options in Paris at this price range.

Great hostel

My overall impression of the hotel is mixed. While the cleanliness of the rooms was acceptable during my two-day stay, it fell short of expectations, especially on the second day when the bed was not properly attended to. Additionally, while the hotel's appearance was satisfactory, its distance from the Eiffel Tower, approximately 6 kilometers, might deter some guests. Furthermore, I encountered some rudeness from the reception staff, particularly in the morning.

Nice, safe and clean hotel. wonderful staff ❤
