Stood here for one night to explore Marseille, it was a perfect location and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is great and quiet. The building gives you the feel you’re looking for and I love that you can rent lockers after checking out !

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Although bathtowels need extra pay, hot water is not available in the shower rooms. There are neither soaps nor shampoos
I asked direction several times but they never provided that which tells they don't care for guest inquiry. It was an okay place to stay since people kept partying and shouting here until almost midnight. I complained to a man who was in the office and he did not care much that indicated he did not pay attention to guest rights. We also found a lady official who proved helpful.
Hostel is nice and clean. Bathroom is tiny. I am 5'7 130lb and bruised both my elbows trying to shower and brush my teeth. Facing the busy street was very hard to sleep at night especially with jet lag but for the price, it will do for a short stay.

Great location location location.
No room amenities whatsoever. Not even a cup to drink tap water. Broken TV.
room doors do not have slow close so people constantly slam them at all hours of the night. Room lockers for valuables do not fit a standard carry on rolling bag so your valuables will not be secure even if you have a lock. Finally, the cleaning staff were extremely rude and condescending upon checking in. Area is also not very nice and very loud, but can get to Old Port close by walking.
Hostels are hostels which you do not usually expect a lot for comfort and luxury. Cleanness and safety are very important and The People has achieved those. The location is also perfect for going around the city and there is plenty space for relaxation, too.
Great hostel! 15 mins walk from Train station, location near the Pier and shopping area, clean facilities upon arrival, great people and breakfast. Highly recommend while stopping in Marseille.
This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I was surprised with how clean and modern the room I stayed in was. The bathroom was tiny--I could comfortably wash my hands in the sink while sitting on the toilet--but I was grateful to have it in-room. Having an all-female dormitory option was great, too, as I think all hostels should have. The cleaning staff comes in daily and all of my interactions with them in the room or hallway were rather me smiling or saying bonjour and them just ignoring me, which was not typically what happens in other hotels I've stayed in.
Location of this place was good, walking distance to train station and to the waterfront. Property was mostly clean (floors were not that clean), the sleeping pods were function and well maintained. Wifi was also good.
I just wished they had a bit more substantive kitchen instead of just a microwave and fridge.
