The People Strasbourg

The People Strasbourg is a hostel at 7 Rue Calvin, in the Krutenau district of Strasbourg, in the Grand Est region of France. The Krutenau is a former market-gardening quarter on the eastern side of the Grande Île, bordered by canals of the Ill, and it is now known as the city's student and nightlife neighbourhood, with bars, cafés, small restaurants and a mixed, youthful crowd. From this address the cathedral of Notre-Dame, the Place du Château and the Palais Rohan are a short walk across the canal, and Place Kléber and Petite France are reachable on foot in roughly fifteen minutes. The tram network serves the Krutenau area, giving links to the central station and the European Quarter. The People is a French hostel brand with locations in several cities, and the Strasbourg branch combines dormitory accommodation with shared social spaces. Room types listed are Dormitory Beds and Private Rooms, so it works for solo travellers, groups of friends and couples on a tight budget. Listed amenities are wifi, a shared kitchen, a terrace, a bar and a fitness centre, which is an unusually broad range for a hostel. The shared kitchen lets guests cook their own meals, the bar and terrace offer a social setting, and the fitness centre suits longer stays. Nearby restaurants and winstubs offer Alsatian specialities for those who wish to eat out, and the Krutenau markets and bakeries provide inexpensive provisions. Nightly rates are generally between about 25 and 75 euros, the lowest in this group of listings, depending on dormitory size, private room type and season. The service character is informal and social, aimed at younger travellers, backpackers and anyone who values a lively atmosphere and a low price. Guests can call +33 9 78 36 20 27 or use the hostel's website to confirm bed types, linen, lockers and check-in times. Light sleepers should bear in mind that the Krutenau can be noisy on weekend nights.
