The area was great. I didn’t like that we were forced to leave the hostel everyday from 11am to 3pm for cleaning, no air conditioning or fans and the room was hot.

I liked the breakfast service, the quiet hours and the location. I did not like how the comforter seemed like it hadn't been washed in a while and how stuffy the rooms felt even with the window open.

We stayed in a 4 bed with bathroom. Room 402. 1 night only. Good: bed was comfortable, owners were super nice, staff was nice and helpful, free breakfast was ok. Safe location. Bad: shower in our room was gross and bathroom was stinky. And bathroom is sooo small. We were also on the 4th floor so winding stairs up with luggage. No elevator. I would stay again but on lower floor and again only for 1 night.

I regret booking this hostel. After staying one night, we decided to change the place to stay. Of course, there was no reimbursement for deciding no to continue staying here, but it was a wise choice to change the hotel. I could not stand with the environment where there was no private bathroom, no shampoo and other amenities. The only good thing was the breakfast which came with the pain, butter, coffee, and a small butter cake.

your reservation is made for a room without shower and without private WC. you want this comfort, of course we have this type of room (with private shower and with shower and WC) but you simply did not choose the room you wanted, or chose a lower rate.yes no shampoo either, we are a hostel and not a hotel, and we didn't put any information mentioning that the shampoo is in the rooms.the next time you have to pay attention to the time of the reservation so as not to be surprised.

maybe the rooms are small, but sorry to tell you that what you say is not true, our rooms are very clean, that's why we are always closed between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for cleaning, yes we have no soap in the rooms and we have never put any information that you can find soap in the rooms, we are a youth hostel. merci

There's not a lot in the room- no place to sit or a place to put your stuff really. It's just the bed and the sink, the sink has no soap (neither does the bathrooms). It's a fine property, easy access to metro and safe surrounding area. The room set up is just odd because there's a lot of empty floor space. They also request that you move your stuff off the floor for cleaning which is a bit odd. Breakfast is included, it's just a baguette with jam and butter, madeleine, orange juice, and coffee (you pay for more food if you want).

Pathetic Stay. Do not book!
This hostel is probably one of the worst ones ever. Doesn’t even have a common place to sit and eat dinner. The rooms are very poorly lit and breakfast timings are absurd. Will not recommend to anyone

Very clean. Breakfast was simple but just right yo start the day. The coffee was excellent. This is a a backpackers style of accommodation with multiple bunk beds and no towels provided. To sleep with a partner one must put two mattresses on the floor. No problem for us because the floors are very clean, not even dust bunnies under the beds. We had a very nice stay.

Your experience here will definitely depend on what you're looking for. There was everything from groups of college kids to old couples (Despite the supposed upper age limit). You get breakfast in the morning, but it reminds me of something out of Les Miz: Hard bread with jam/butter, juice box, little sweet cake thing, coffee/hot choc from the machine. The beds were good enough, and the fact that you can have single-gender rooms of down to three people is a life saver. But that's counteracted by the fact that the staff kicks you out of the rooms from 11 to 3 every day...which is exactly when you want to have a nap if you're jetlagged. The bathroom in my room smelled like rotten eggs, which was disturbing and gross. The communal showers had good hot water and pressure, but the door to the facilities itself was just a saloon-style swing door, so anyone could peer in while you were changing...and one day, there was a middle-aged naked man just standing in front of the mirror for over an hour, waiting for women to come in. My roommate and I yelled at him and had the staff escort him away, but still...unsettling. I was lucky to have a corner room, so it was pretty quiet most of the time, and when people were loud, you could politely tell them you were sleeping and they'd keep it down. But if you are in the long hall, that could differ. 9/10 of the staff is wonderful. One is grouchy. Staff has an annoying habit of pumping up the music in the lobby the more people appear.

yes our hostel welcomes school groups once. for the closing of the rooms between 11:00 and 15:00 is for cleaning, and I do not think in the showers you find the smell of eggs except of course if the customers let this smell after 15:00 the opening of the rooms by other customers. our sweeties are clean but you can close the doors of the interior. if you close the front door it will prevent other guests from using the other showers as well as the washbasins. We thank you for these comments together we can improve things to satisfy you, we wish you happy nes year.

Cheap but for a reason
The room only had one outlet for four beds that was about six feet off the ground, the bathroom would flood after one shower into the bedroom. No towels, dirty linens on the bed when I arrived. It’s super cheap but worth paying a little more for something nicer.

It was the worst hostel that I stayed in my life, nothing works there, in my room for 4 person we only have one point of electricity, the WiFi doesn't working and we hadn't a towel. The staff don't want to help us, and every time that I needed something they don't care. I don't recommend hostel for anyone.

Hello, the wifi works very well, in the common room you have several electric and modern plugs to charge your laptop, towels are not included in the price and this information is put on our website, you can ask the reception a rental towels at € 4 for all your stays. the staff at the reception are attentive if you ask for information. with your comment we will think to do the best for our customers. happy new year
