    Mabye not many toilets for the amount of people in the room.

    Very good location if you want to visit Mount Saint Michael and good value for money, cheaper then many hotels in the area. The Staff were very friendly, we also hired 2 bikes and followed a beautiful cycle lane all the way to the incredible landmark. Beds were clean and comfortable, there is a possibility to have breakfast for a small fee, we did not try it as we wanted to head out early to explore.

    A great place closer to the Mont Saint Michael with friendly staff😊

    On the ground floor where two dormitory rooms were located, there were only one sink, two bathrooms (one of them was a wheel chair accessible) which both had a shower and a toilet per room. Clearly, they weren’t enough for the numbers of beds they have, and we had to wait for our turns. I think they can at least add more sinks, there seemed to have lots of rooms. Lastly, the security wasn’t great. Anyone could come in and out from the door and through the big windows in our dorm😅

    The staff were exceptionally kind, helpful and friendly😊 They gave me recommendations and information around the area. I asked them for a hairdryer, and they lent me one. I also used their bikes for free which was nice to get around the area, and only takes 30 mins to the Mont Saint Michael, so I biked there to see the sunset and sunrise when there was no bus running at the times. Also, they told me that as long as I took all my stuffs out of my bed (aka checking-out), I can hang out in the lounge area, which I did and never felt rushed to leave. I even asked for a dryer to dry my wet shoes after checking out, and the staff let me use the dryer too.

    There could have been a vending machine for snacks or cold drinks perhaps.

    Good location, plenty of free parking spaces, room was large enough, beds comfortable, excellent reception by the hostel employee.

    I stayed in a room of 12, but there were only two of us there. There are only 2 showers, so no issues for us. But this might be an issue if the room was full. The pillows were WAY too soft. I had to use a second one from an empty bed. But if the room is full, again, you won't have that option.

    The host was a very friendly and kind man. We spoke when I arrived and he gave me some good local advice and also suggested cycling to Mont St Michel for sunset (about 35 mins away).... You should definitely do that too (SO many less people there then. Way less). Facilities are great. It's only a 10 min walk from the train station, which is where you can also pay about 3 euros to catch a bus to Mont St Michel as well. Nb. If you turn up before check in (5pm), message the hostel. The owner will give you a code to access the back door and drop off your bags.
