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.

Le personnel est aidant et souriant. Nous avons eu 3 jours de grosse pluie, le système de drainage a été surchargé, ce qui a amené des odeurs nauséabondes pendant 3 jours. Pour tout le reste, c’erait parfait.

Posizione abbastanza comoda ma pulizia assolutamente da rivedere. Lenzuola bucate e sporche, idem per i pavimenti e anche il bagno non era pulito. Bagno cieco e senza ventola, molto umido e con muffa.

Simple et efficace

Sejour simple et efficace dans cette auberge de jeunesse. Tout est propre et le service est très agréable. Commodités sur place avec un bar accessible etc. Chambres équipées du minimum mais ça nous suffit (pas de serviettes de toilettes incluses mais 1.5 euros en sus). Pas très bien isolé donc peut être bruyant en fonction de vos voisins Très bien placé car places tout le long dans la rue (payante sauf le soir et dimanche) et à 30 min à pied du centre ville.
