Excellent Hostel

Stayed in private room with husband and two friends. Toilets very clean and on every floor. Shower in basement but that wasn't an issue for us at all. Very quiet. Had a great meal in the lobby. Unimpressed with breakfast but there are plenty of options on the street.

Great location and good facilities

Located In the middle of the centre, have their own bar and restaurant. I was stayed in a 8 beds share room and it's wide and clean.Nice showers with hairdryers and even sauna. Offering a complimentary drink voucher when you check in was a good surprise!

Excellent Hostel

Nice environment, warm reception stuff and quality living quarters. Showers are amazing and it even has a sauna.

Rooms can be really stuffy to sleep in. Sometimes I found myself struggling to breath even with the tiny window open.

The almost perfect hostel :-)

I was in this hostel for 10 days, and had a really fantastic stay. The hostel on itself is extremely cosy, especially the restaurant downstairs where there is a warm atmosphere, as well as the corridors upstairs (sounds maybe strange, but the wooden floor and the cosy coach in the end really make the difference)! Many people work here, like a big family, they are all very friendly. Rooms are spacious and very clean, lunch at restaurant is very tasty and not so expensive. I couldn't imagine a better hostel!
Why then ALMOST perfect? Because the internet connection was really really slow...

Room tip: Les dortoirs de 8 personnes sont bien plus spacieux que ceux de 6 personnes!
