    Beds were a bit noisy at every movement you made On Sunday morning there was a flea market in the garden of the Hostel so there was a lot of noise outside starting from 05.00

    Facilities are good and what you would expect from a Hostel. Building itself is great and very historic Area is very quiet and not that much traffic Breakfast was good and functional

    Proper youth hostel vibes - which I liked but not for everyone, and in male dorm of 8 (not full)an idiot gets up at 6.45am and noisily rearranged his suitcases for about 20 mins. Not the places fault it’s just to be aware. Also bring your own towel

    Lovely old building out of town, amazing view across the city. Better reached by bus (5min walk) metro great but a good 15+minutes walk uphill, so not best option if returning after a long day ( or raining)

    The only downside is the location. I, for one, don't mind it not being in the center as long as it's close to a station. With maps, it shows thag the hostel is within 6 minutes of walking from a metro station, but that is actually a shortcut going by the park, which is closed in the evening. Since on my first day it was past 19h and I didn't know anything, the park was closed and I had to take a whole detour and ended up walking for 20 minutes and had to ask for local help to get there. It felt a bit dangerous walking alone at night there. The 2nd day I didn't wanna risk it even if I had already come back at 18h, so I went through another route instead (I took the metro and bus and left in the other side of the main entrance, that only made me walk 8 minutes, much metter than before), but maps doesn't show that route. In the end, it's up to the park being open and what route you wanna take. Other than that, I have nothing to complain. It really is only a bit difficult to get there. As I shared a room, it was difficult to sleep because of the people there (typical hostel thing) but the beds were comfortable.

    The staff was really nice and polite. The price is really good and the breakfast was also good. The kitchen is spacious and you can use it to make your meals which is really convenient.

    There was a street market on the grounds that was being set up from 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. In the quietness of the area, and with the window wide open the discussions could be heard clearly in the dorm. I had to get up at this time anyway so it was not a problem for me.

    I was only here for about 6 hours, sheets were provided and the dorm was clean. The bathroom is shared, and the shower and toilets are all lockable.

    No toilet seats in the toilet, that's a little bit strange 😅

    Nice and comfortable rooms, the rooms are small, but there is a garden and a big canteen. Great staff, it was quite clean, the bus station is not far.

    It’s very far away from town and it’s hard to get there at night because the parc you need to get through is closed at night.

    Far from the city center, but relatively safe area. The entrance is not easy to access. The customers varied a lot. There were locals and young adults from other countries which were very nice, but also some strange people lived there and made the environment dirty and noisy. There were also kids playing at the hall or outside. During the day it was fine but sometimes during the night.

    The staff was really nice. The room and bathroom are clean. Safe neighborhoods. The restaurant is a good place to mingle. I made good friends there. The lobby is pretty.

    Peaceful Hostel Away from City Chaos

    The room had no AC and got quite hot during the day. It wouldn't have been a problem if my room wasn't located directly above the garden, where people played games and chatted in the evening. Closing the window would have meant no air in the room, but sleeping with it open was difficult.

    Although it was far from the center and the main attractions, the area the hostel was in seemed safe and quiet, which made the hostel a nice place to relax, especially in the evening (the sunset was beautiful from the garden). The linens were clean, but the mattress had a few stains. Overall, the bed was quite comfortable. There was a well-equipped kitchen, but unfortunately, it was a mess due to the other guests. I would have loved to see a separate box or something similar for the free food, as there were a few instances where someone mistook someone else's food for the free food. The room had spacious lockers. The breakfast, although quite simple (consisting only of some baguette, eggs, jam, butter, coffee and juice) was a nice little touch. The staff was helpful and kind.

    the kitchen was a bit messy and there was like a school camp so the kids wouldn’t stop screaming!! it’s “easy” to get there from the centre, but from the bus stop to the actual hostel, it’s so hard!! it’s not a straight path at all and it’s not nice if you have suitcases or much luggage. breakfast was too early!

    really nice views!! the building itself is nice and the outdoors area is a nice feature. the staff was kind and the breakfast was really good!
