"My first time in a youth hostel (I am 62 and didn’t bother to translate the property name) My 13yo daughter was pleasantly surprised by the property and I hope it will encourage her to consider Youth Hostels in her future adventures (without me). Staff and other customers were friendly the accommodations were more that adequate although a little basic but for an adventurous younger traveller an excellent opportunity"

"The staff at reception were very helpful and friendly. I don’t speak a lot of French but she was really understanding. The shower in the room was great and the room was very quiet and clean with a very comfortable bed, so a good nights sleep. I didn’t have breakfast but the dining area looked clean too. I was glad of the gated parking as I had my electric bike on the back of my car and felt it would be secure at night. Would definitely stay again when I next visit France."
