    Do not pay for breakfast, the offer was very poor. Serving instant coffee for an extra fee? In France? No, honestly, just pay for a decent coffee on it's own rather than this breakfast, only croissant (small) and jam....

    Fantastic location and very nice staff, especially an Italian gentleman at reception on my arrival day. Comfortable rooms, good setup with privacy curtains for each bed. Good size lockers, although they could be closed with a key or code, rather than padlocks. Who carries padlocks these days? Clean and tidy.

    Only two toilets and three showers per floor where there are several rooms with many people. The fridge in the communal kitchen was very small. My bed was the only one that did not have a curtain (but all beds are partially covered so it was still cosy and somewhat private). The room was hot but there was an AC. I opened the window to make it cooler and let fresh air in, but some other guest closed it a few hours after. Overall though i enjoyed my stay!

    Great location. I enjoyed that bathrooms were separate because it's less noise in the room. Because the shower rooms didn't require a key to access i was able to shower after check out, which was awesome and very convenient for me. Good coffee option at reception/bar, not expensive. You can leave luggage with them when you check out.

    beds are questionable- less than one meter height for sleeping area it’s too much (too little :) - otherwise a good place to stop by

    Not a fan of bunk beds in a set of three that you can't sit up in - that said mattress was comfy. Also the shower facilities could have done with a bit of maintenance.

    It was close to the railway station and staff were friendly.

    There weren't a lot of bathrooms for the number of people and they weren't incredibly clean.

    Excellent location, really close to the train station and the bus stop. The "basic" breakfast was perfectly adequate before I had to leave in the morning.

    climbing to the bed was quite a challenge. I had the mid bunk; turrning over was a bit difficult. After walking the Camino and have some mobility issues I would not been able to climb in/out for sure :-(

    Location and overall atmosphere was great.

    On balance, I would prefer bathroom within the bedroom rather than on the corridor.

    It had character, did not feel like it was part of a big chain. Comfortable bed. Good food. I would be happy to stay again.

    The overall cleanliness of the facility left much to be desired. Many installations were broken, dirty, or showed signs of mold. Cleaning did not appear to be conducted daily or thoroughly, as the entire entrance area had a persistent odor and felt stuffy. Additionally, the public toilet adjacent to the hostel members' kitchen was poorly located, as random people passing by created discomfort for those trying to cook, relax, or enjoy a family breakfast or dinner. The space management in this area could be significantly improved to make it more hygienic, functional, and inviting. The atmosphere was also negatively impacted by the presence of random individuals loitering around, which contributed to an unwelcoming vibe. Compared to other hostels I have visited, this one appeared to be run predominantly by men. Based on my experiences, I believe having women in managerial roles could significantly improve the overall vibe and energy of the hostel, creating a more inclusive and balanced environment. To enhance the hostel’s appeal, I recommend investing in vibrant, friendly, and qualified staff to host and manage the space, with a focus on fair compensation for both staff and volunteers. Many successful hostels prioritize quality and fairness in staffing, which greatly contributes to a positive guest experience. Adopting similar practices here could help transform the space into a more enjoyable and welcoming environment for all visitors.

    Great place in the city with comfortable beds. The place is overall great with a nice and dedicated team.
