The property is decent and a typical hostel. We got a room with 3 beds. The bed sheet was a bit too thin, almost felt like it was just a mattress cover. Free breakfast was decent. Overall it's good enough when travelling on a budget. Room facility needs updating.

Simple et efficace

Sejour simple et efficace dans cette auberge de jeunesse. Tout est propre et le service est trĂšs agrĂ©able. CommoditĂ©s sur place avec un bar accessible etc. Chambres Ă©quipĂ©es du minimum mais ça nous suffit (pas de serviettes de toilettes incluses mais 1.5 euros en sus). Pas trĂšs bien isolĂ© donc peut ĂȘtre bruyant en fonction de vos voisins TrĂšs bien placĂ© car places tout le long dans la rue (payante sauf le soir et dimanche) et Ă  30 min Ă  pied du centre ville.

Bon auberge

Bon emplacement à 20 minutes du centre à pied. Confort acceptable mais on a eu un problÚme avec les sanitaires, apparemment les déchets des toilettes en commun à cÎté de notre chambre ressortaient au niveau de nos sanitaires privatives. Petit déjeuner trÚs correct pour un auberge. Je trouve le rapport qualité-prix un peu élevé

HORRIBLE RECEPTION SERVICE

When we arrive the attention and service at the reception was the worst in traveling life. The AM lady at the reception has such a TERRIBLE attitude, with a very negative and bad service. The lady in the afternoon was the opposite, very kind friendly and respectful. The guy at the bar was very good. Breakfast is bad. Please is not clean.

Mérite des étoiles

Situation pas trĂšs loin du mĂ©tro, accueil excellent. Nous avions une chambre pour 2 avec SdB privative trĂšs propre et spacieuse. C'est la premiĂšre fois qu'une auberge de jeunesse nous donnes cette impression d’ĂȘtre dans un hĂŽtel de 2 voir 3 Ă©toiles. Le petit dĂ©jeuner offert est lui aussi a la hauteur d'un hĂŽtel.
