This stay was annoying. They didnt have towels, and the front desk was horrible with bad service (there eere 2 dark haired men (one with short hair one with long hair), 1 woman, and french guy with short hair. The woman and french guy were very nice. The other two said things like "nope, dont have towels" and thats it. Or "this is a hotel not a hostel" when i told them there was no water. I hope their customer service comes back to them. It was a bit hot in the rooms, but it was okay for a hostel. They turned off the lights in the common room while we were all hanging out out at 12 midnight. It just sucked. I went to an aparthotel that was the same price near Chartreax, so its not even that cheap.

Great place. Great staff. Be careful of theft!

Perfect location. Friendly staff. Very clean. The communal area does not have an oven. The rooms were good. Although I had a bad experience with other people in the hostel. For the most part they’re all very friendly. Although someone stole over €500 worth of items from my bag whilst in the communal area. Food is stolen every day from the fridges. This is not a reflection on the hostel just the people there at the time.

I had a good experience, location is really handy,very close to the old port and Notre Dame de la Garde. Staff were friendly and helpful at anytime, even when they have a 12 hour shift and I see them the next day, they keep a friendly attitude. I was in a mixed room first day then I asked to be in a girls' room which was more comfortable. I didn't like the breakfast though.
