Everything was great. The next time I arrive I’d like to help w translation of signs to English. I hope I didn’t break any rules because I couldn’t read some of the signs. Other than that I really liked the atmosphere and vibe. Thank you

The property was clean and the staff were fantastic. The live entrainment downstairs along with the nearby cafe, the Sunday market across the yard and the nearby grocery store, was just perfect. I was here during a trail race and it was the first time in years since I’ve stayed at a hostel, but I would definitely stay here again. Also, I couldn’t get a ride to the airport and one of the staff was kind enough to get off his shift early so he could drive me there. Incredibly nice and unexpected!

La réception est extrêmement difficile à trouver. Il manque d'indication pour s'y rendre. La chambre sentait un peu le renfermé et lors de ma première nuit, des gens changeaient des meubles de place jusqu'à 23:40. Le reste était très bien.

Très bon hôtel qui propose diverses chambres en fonction des budgets. La chambre avec salle de bain privée était très propre et fonctionnelle. La cuisine commune est très propre, très bien équipée et très accueillante. Le petit bistrot au rez-de-chaussée, bien qu'un peu cher, propose des petits plats dont des soupes de qualité
