The People - Marseille

+ conveniently located + safe neighbourhood + nice atmosphere + friendly staff + I stayed 2 nights in a girls' dorm (4 beds) and had really nice and considerate roommates. Our room even had a private balcony (see my 3rd picture). + the room and the bed were comfortable, but:

Staff was very nice, rooms really ok

I had a comfortable stay at the people hostel. I initially booked a 6 bed shared room, but I was put in a 4 bed shared room (lucky me). I arrived late and the gentleman at the desk was very welcoming. I needed to get water and he accompanied me to a nearby shop and made sure I wasn't bothered. All staff I met at the reception desk were helpful and nice. The place is nice too in case you just want to chill at the hostel. My flight wasn't untill later in the afternoon and I could leave my luggage in lockers to enjoy my last day in Maraseille. Location is great too!!

This is the third time I was staying in The People Hostel chain in France. As a solo traveler I often use hostels and it is a habit already to check if The People are represented in my next destination. It is always clean and fresh, the bed is comphy, the linens and the bedding are great. I stayed at the 4 people room and we had our private bathroom, which was a great bonus. The rooms are small, but never feel crowded. I honestly loved the location, it was safe and cozy, the area in the yard is perfect for chilling in the end of the day or having a meal. The old port is about 10 minutes away and the walk is nice and safe. Also, several supermarkets are like 3-5 minutes away, so anything you need is literally minutes away from you.

Good area, center, near the embankment, cafes and bakeries, safe, I returned after midnight, everything was good, clean room, excellent comfortable mattress, excellent quality bed, wide bed, there is a curtain, toilet and shower in the room, no shampoo and body gel, you need to make a deposit for a towel, which is not refundable, but you can buy everything at Monoptix which is very close to the hostel. You can leave your luggage in a cell in the basement, you pay yourself through the terminal, convenient and safe, very friendly staff, delicious breakfast, place to chat and eat inside and outside, everything is very well organized, you do not wash the dishes, the staff does everything
