The location was really close to the train station and beach which was a major plus to me but they required a 20 euro deposit per set of keys which I thought was so much. They have a security box inside the room but it is tiny. It's probably about a 7" x 5" x 7". There were no lockers to put your bags in.

I've stayed in a LOT of hostels, and this is one of the WORST ever Pros: - 5 min walk from the train station. Issues: - Not backpacker friendly, no computers, no wifi in rooms, no common areas, no travel info - VERY limited english - TERRIBLE service, un-accomodating, kicks you out of rooms at 11, wouldn't let us shower after checkout - no luggage storage - 2 toilets for 7 rooms. TOILET HAS NO SINK! You have to touch TWO door nobs before washing your hands! Terrible.

Bonjour, You stayed with us for 2 nights. We feel really sorry you did not satisfied with us, but please, I want to clarify some things about your review. We have clearly written in the description of the hostel that we have lockout time from 11:00 to 14:00, during which we clean the rooms...and check out time is least 10:30 am. I recommend you to read against the hostels description. The fact that wifi connection wasn't working in the room behind but wifi is accessible in the reception area and in the rooms in front. You were still sleeping (11 am) of the day when you were supposed to check out ... Time is pass, you were always occupy the room, it was already at 11:30 am so, we reminded you that your check-out time was due... You left just before noon and you came back to the hostel at 5pm for the shower. Finally, while staying at our hostel you did not respect our hostel rules! You must learn to respect!!! Our best regards, The staff

Very clean place, helpful and friendly staff. Nothing to complain. If we had stayed longer, a nice living room would have been a nice thing to have though.

My friends and I spent 3 nights with Chez Patrik on a several week trip backpacking through Europe. It's been a week since our stay there and we all talk about how we miss it. The staff is absolutely spectacular, offered to do our laundry overnight, and also very helpful in terms of planning days and nights out. The hostel is the cleanest that I have stayed in and the bathrooms couldn't be better. It does lack a kitchen and some of the more fun amenities of other hostels, but worked for us.

A very small hostel but is very clean and does the job of staying for a night or two. The hostel is very close to the train station and is within walking distance to the old town/beach. However, wireless internet reception is quite weak, and can only get the signal near the reception desk. No kitchen nor breakfast available. They do have a small fridge and a coffee vending machine. The staff are quite friendly, but is hardly around.
