Great hostel

Friendly staff and social environment. The hostel-provided dinners are homemade, delicious and cheap. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are great. There is always tea and coffee available for free, as well as baked goods for purchase. The pub crawl on Saturday was fun.

I enjoyed my stay

I was here only for two nights, but it was a good short stay. Unfortunately I had the only bunk bed in the whole hostel, but in the end it was better than my first bed, which was next to a door. I think I slept better now. I didn't have much contact with other guests, but in the morning we shared the breakfast table, and that was nice. Also it's nice that it's not really a youth hostel, there were older people too who were travelling.

Great staff, good location.

The staff is great + the location is pretty spot on. I was in a six bed room -- one set of bunks + the rest were single beds. There were lockers with lots of outlets + individual night lights at each bed. WiFi was solid + the staff knew the area well enough to make recommendations. They also offered dinner each night for the guests for 5EUR -- it was a solid meal although nothing lavish.

Rapport qualité prix normal

Il s’agit d’une maison d’hôtes (el) dans un petit immeuble. L’ambiance est jeune, on y parle anglais, croissant surgelé au four au petit déjeuner. Propose cuisine que je n’ai pas goûtée par manque de temps. J’ai dormi en dortoir de 7 lits dont seulement 3 occupés. Seul petit pb la serrure badge de la porte du dortoir siffle fort et la porte en se refermant claque fort. Sinon pour 26 € la nuit c’est ok.

One of the best

After a trip to London, I had tickets to go to Bordeaux, Toulouse, Bilbao and Milan and no hostel compares to this one if you only dig good vibes. They are currently restoring the place so every room will be okay (right now there are some "optical issues" but everything is great and the atmosphere is awesome

You cannot get the same experience anywhere else

I loved the way the staff was acting like a family! You cannot get that in any other hostel in Europe and trust me I tried!!! If you're a cool backpacker they can feel it and they can make you feel like you've been long-time friends!

Only hostel option I could find

One of the worst hostel I have stayed in. My room was spacious, but no proper window that could be opened, strange smell in the room. Bed really uncomfortable. Communal area really old. Bikes aviailable to hire are terrible. Bathrooms kind of ok!? Staff was friendly, but the rooms couldn't be locked and there was no locked storage space! I would not stay here again!!!

Comfortable and friendly place!

The place was a little bit out of the main old city, but easy walking distance, only about 5-10 mins. Also really close to public transport and by the river. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, happy to have a chat and give you tips on where to go! Beds were comfy and clean, clean bathrooms too but no air conditioning. I was lucky it was a bit colder when I was there so didn't affect me but if it was hotter it would have been uncomfortable. Overall would go back and stay again and would recommend!

Drama hotel

Censé être une " auberge espagnole" , les étudiants étrangers charges de tenir l hotel sont livres à eux même et ne cessent de se disputer entre eux .... Magres leur bonne volonté , ca rend l ambiance de l hotel I insupportable L aménagement est sommaire avec beaucoup de promiscuité dans les parties communes , mais c est propres et peu bon marché
