    Good hostel value, clean and comfy with a nice breakfast available.

    • Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    It was a warm night so the windows to the dormitory were open. There is a noisy bar down below so you need earplugs to fall asleep peacefully! Also, at check-in the person working at the welcome desk did not propose towel rental, so I needed to come back to the desk and wait again in order to pay for a towel.

    Beds are comfortable and the sheets/towels available are very clean. Cozy common areas. Breakfast is a great value with good coffee! Check-in was easy.

    Did not find it easy to get to know other travellers. Common areas had a mix of work and travel but everyone just sits on their own and you have no idea who wants to talk. Who speaks French or English Someone complained that the coffee was terrible and the response from staff was that's just how it is. There was no effort to remedy this I decided to try for myself and it was indeed terrible I think because it was late in the day. By all other reports the day coffee is fine. The rooms had limited hooks and limited space to put things near bedside Creaky floors When checking in, I was booked for two nights in two separate 1 night bookings. It felt like the staff were annoyed when hearing this, as though I should have done this as a single booking, but the limitation was on Booking.com / the hostels system. I suspect they just wanted the best for me which is not to have to change rooms but just the feeling I got felt off. The cause was that they had a group booked the 2nd day. Anyway once the staff realised the reason they were nice and pleasant. The shower didn't have much space for putting things. Maybe two hooks and 15x15cm triangle It's also one of those that has a button you have to keep pressing every 15sec or the water stops

    Everything was just ok. It does have a kitchen and fridge for those who cook Lockers are large Location is kinda good. Although can be noisy

    The hostal es a bit old, so they need to make a lot of effort to clean the facilities and if the visitors didn't want to be clean, it would be dirtier faster... But in general was very clean!, Also like I said it's a bit old, so the floor sounds a lot, it's very cozy but if you want to sleep early, buy some ear plugs

    The coffee, the movies, and the place gathering a lot of travelers, this was the first time in my trip that u talk to someone xD.

    Luggage storage is not included and they charge a time-dependent rate, which is why we ended up paying 13 Euros for luggage storage on the day of our arrival.

    The hostel has a nice vibe and a central location close to many restaurants and bars.

    Some idiot was pacing up and down the hostel room at early hours and shadow boxing, someone else told him to stop making noise and he responded aggressively. Probably mentally unwell. This has not much to do with the hostel, just sharing as it was strange to experience and felt unsettling.

    Staff answering questions promptly. Overall pretty clean as far as hostels go.

    Very comfortable, maintained neat and clean with bright spacious rooms and easy to locate in the city. Reception greet was lovely which consist of an amazing lobby with a quick chit chat room to spend your time with a coffee. I would recommend to solo travellers the best option. Best wishes.

    Starting to look like it needs a bit of sprucing up (eg in need of painting, shower curtain falling apart at the top). It's the end of the season so this is understandable. Noise from the bar round the corner was loud and went on until 2am ish on 2 of the nights

    Great location. Nice staff and a good breakfast. Large private room with ensuite gave plenty of space Hairdryer and air conditioning (and very good ceiling fan) provided.

    The bedroom I was sleeping was in front of the street, so it was much noisy and I didn't sleep well because of it.

    Perfect location. Bedroom with 8 beds, but according to the structure we feel like 4 beds. Very good wifi.

    Breakfast wasn't amazing. Cabinet space is lacking. Lockable cabinets needed in rooms.

    Really friendly people. Good vibes. Comfortable for a hostel. Location is very good. Close to one good part of the city. It wasn't the cleanest place I have ever seen but overall satisfactory. Linens and beds were super white and clean.

    The hostel does not have any elevator. Moreover, it was not so clean, in particular the toilet for women was a little disappointing: out of five showers, three were out of service. The one of the two available has a big spider web inside.

    Staff is very kind, welcoming and ready to help you. Position is absolutely amazing and comfortable to visit the city.
