The Hostel is great for some chill nights of sleep, the best shower I've ever had staying in hostels and the male staff were super nice - can't say the same about the girls unfortunately. Overall a good experience but I really disliked the area, drug dealers in the corner, pickpockets on the port and super dark alleys, as a female solo traveler Marseille in general wasn't a smart move.

Nice ho(s)tel hidden in the centre of town.

The hostel is pretty nice: rooms seemed clean and facilities were nice. However, I had to get a low score for how I was treated a check-in. Receptionist was rude and unwelcoming. Also the terrace was closed with no explanations.

Reception staff, Thhais, is very helpful!

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.

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.

Yaniv

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a convenient place within a walking distance of the train station to catch a train the next day, and also within a walking distance from the vibrant port area. The room was convenient, but the A/C did not work nor could be fixed (the staff was helpless in this regard), so me and my family had a sleepless hot night. We opened the windows to try and cool down the room a bit, but there was street noise until 4am. In addition, the area of this hostel is dirty and not attractive. The only things we liked was the good vibe at this place, the nice interior court yard with tables and benches, and the breakfast options that were good and cheap.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
