Ciarus Reviews

Great hostel, on a different scale to all my previous hostels. Elevator was handy, so was baggage storage. REALLY liked the free garage parking for my motorcycle. Good location, a short walk to anything but not too close to the centre. Really easy to drive/ride too. Staff were helpful. Lot's of children/teens there during my stay, although I was not in a room with any.

- Rooms were tidy and clean - Staff was very friendly Keep up the good job. We had a perfect stay at the Ciarus.

Quirky hostel with really nice rooms. There was a huge school group of high school kids who showed up the same evening, made an extreme amount of noise, and were generally a nuisance but otherwise a nice stay.

It was my 3rd time in the CIARUS and i will come again for sure!! The staff is very friendly and open for all kind of questions. The location in the city centre is great and perfect for backpackers!! Thank you for the great time :-)!

Centrally located, comfortable beds, quiet at nights. Nothing special but a good hostel if you want to spend as less as possible on sleeping. I will stay here again next time I come.

The staff member working when we checked in was not very helpful; our questions were answered minimally and there was no effort made to help us. It seemed as if we were a bother for asking questions about certain attractions in the town. Also, the wi-fi was not working when we were there. When choosing a hostel we always consider accessibility to the internet in the hostel.

It's a very good hostel. The staff were really nice and helpful, I had no problem with the room (except the shower didn't work very well, it was very weak and not a lot of water came out), and it's well located, just a few minutes' walk from the centre. There is internet only in the lobby, but it works well and if you're lucky maybe you can get it upstairs in your room, which I did once. It only costs 1 euros for 24 hours. I'm happy, I would book it again, because I know I would have no worries.

a youngman (in the middle of the night at 31OCT) and a younggirl (in the afternoon at 01 NOV) was unkind and hard face.

In general, this is a good place to stay in Strasbourg. The location is great. The atmosphere is alright, but not suitable for making friends. It is annoying that the check-in is so late (after 3:30 p.m.) and the check-out so early (not later than 9:00). If you want to stay just one night and arrive in Strasbourg early, you end up putting your luggage in the storage room (which every hostel guest has access to) and walking around the city the whole day. You return then to sleep and get up early.

No information was given at reception as to maps or where to go.

The rooms were great and clean. My only issue was that there were no kitchen facilities at all. Not even a kettle. Also - the rooms had no soap for your hands. But apart from that, it was pretty good.

4 beds dormroom is so small that it is impossible to relax there and only what we can do in the dorm rooms is just to sleep, but its location is excellent to the centre and also to the laundry, not far from the station.

This isn't a bad hostel, rating might suggest otherwise, but its basically the only dorm accom in Strasbourg. It isn't really fun, but there isn't anywhere to stay that is really. Its a bed to sleep in after a day seeing the city and achieves this goal reasonably well. Except with no fan or air con, the rooms are stinking hot at night, difficult to sleep.

A pretty generic chain hostel. Not much character but it does the trick - everything is clean and comfortable, and the location isn't bad - just five minutes' walk to the touristy parts of town. Having to pay for wifi was a bit annoying.

Super location. Food so-so. Wish there was a guest kitchen.

This was the strangest hostel I've ever been to. Is it a hostel, a hotel, a community center........I'm not sure. It wasn't a bad place in general, but I wouldn't suggest it for travellers who would like to meet other people.

Was Ok. nothing special. Need to pay extra for breakfast. Need to pay extra for WIFI. No lockers. No kitchen. Great location though. Not fun at all, just a place to have a decent nights sleep.

there are so many group. especially children. so very noisy

The biggest concern with the hostel was the security! Anyone could walk in anytime, take the elevator up, and have instant access to the rooms when the cleaners are busy cleaning the rooms (because they unlock all the doors on one floor and prop them open). I suppose at night time, when you're sleeping, it's not that big of a problem because you can make sure the doors are locked, but that's a scary thought. Some receptionists were great, some didn't care about you. It depends.

No public computer to access the internet. The hostel did not offer any water or tea to the guests (while this is quite common in general). The attitude of the staff was quite bad and they were more often rude than kind. The Breakfast is not included, and that might be fine, but it costs 4 euros and you get very little (no buffet, no cereals), just half a glass of juice, one cup of bad coffee (or tea), ONE croissant (extra one is 1 euro!), ONE piece of bread.. no choice at all.
