The People - Paris Nation

My second time there, and probably I will come back. Amazing location 1 minute from metro station Nation, really easy to find. The view from roof top is magnificent. Good bed, clean rooms. Nice team on reception, always smile and ready to help

Another one to add to my favorite list! Good location right off Nation station, well connected by metro and buses. Very stylish, clean, and well organized. A/C room. Very comfortable bed with private curtain, light, plug socket, and stable structure/ladder for upper bunk (no noisy and shaky climb problem is a big plus!!). Locker under the bed (bring your own lock). Also a restaurant/bar on 6 floor with great view of the plaza, small corner for hostel guests to chill even without any order.

The location was great. The Train station was just across the street. There's a supermarket just next door opened from 7am to 11.30 pm, which has everything you'll need. The neighbourhood has plenty of restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets and grocers. The staff were helpful with all my questions, even assisting me with an issue I had with my train reload. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and spacious enough for me to put my things and sleep in, but then again I'm pretty small. I would recommend bringing some hangers as there is only 1 hook per person in the room for jackets. There is a cupboard below the bed to store luggage and belongings. It's big enough to slot my whole 24' luggage in and more. But remember to bring a lock or you will have to rent one at the reception. I got the 6 bed room which allowed for a small bench area which was great as we could then organize our luggage there instead of the narrow aisle between the beds. Do note that although I got the female only room the floor is mixed. So no going to the toilet half dressed as there are guys walking the halls more often than not. The toilet is usually clean but the toilet cubicles are pretty small even for my size. The showers leak water everywhere as the doors do not close tightly and getting dressed in there can be a challenge. I usually just dress half in half out of the shower stall. There were 4 showers but 1 was not working, and 1 had issues with the adjuster. Once all I got was boiling hot water and no adjusting helped. The hairdryer was most often not working, I would be using it for less than a minute then it would shut off or just refuse to work. Breakfast only consists of croissant, baguet, egg quiche, cheese, fruit, yogurt, cereal, juice and coffee. Not exactly a spread but quite sufficient for the day. It's free flow for 10euro or if you added it to your booking, and 5 euro for coffee and 2 pastries or bread.

Even though the location is not central, it is right next to a major subway station so you can easily hop on the metro and go wherever you like. The rooftop patio has a great view of the central plaza. I also think the rooms had very smart designs that anticipated the needs of any guest. I especially like the light, shelf, and curtain for each bunk bed. The bathrooms were as clean as they can be in a hostel.

The staff is really nice and hostal has great location. The metro station (Nation) is located across the street and a grocery store next door, many restaurants, bakeries and pharmacy in the area. Clean bathrooms, and water pressure is great! Comfortable and spacious beds. There’s a restaurant/ terrace with nice views where you can hangout without needing to purchase anything, it’s great to hangout during the day, but it gets very busy in the evening as other people from outside the hostal go to the restaurant. I recommend to bring your own towel and padlock for the room locker, otherwise they’re an extra charge.
