The People Paris Marais

The People - Paris Marais features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Paris. Located around 1.2 km from Paris-Gare-de-Lyon, the hostel with free WiFi is also 1.3 km away from Notre Dame Cathedral. The accommodation provides karaoke and a shared kitchen.

At the hostel, each room includes a wardrobe. All units include bed linen.

A continental breakfast is available daily at The People - Paris Marais.

Speaking Greek, English, Spanish and French, staff are willing to help at the 24-hour front desk.

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Opéra Bastille, Pompidou Centre and Sainte-Chapelle. The nearest airport is Paris - Orly Airport, 16 km from The People - Paris Marais.

If you want to be near the Marais but need a cheaper option, this could be a good fit for you. This hostel is a few minutes walk from Place de la Bastille and is a block away from the outdoor bars along the Seine. 

"The People" has various locations around Paris equipped with hostel luxuries: blackout curtains, all-female dorms, and large lockers.  

In the very hip Le Marais neighborhood, this accommodation is sort of a blend of a hostel and a hotel. It's in the 4th arrondissement, and it is a hostel, but like... a really nice hostel, with a beautiful lobby and bar. I've had multiple friends stay here and rave about it! There's also a location in Belleville.

This hotel has: 
-breakfast included 
-close access to a metro station 
-a variety of room types including a dormitory, private rooms or family-size rooms  
-an elevator
