Security in the 20 bed rooms is bad. Besides that it's fine.

Bon accueil, personnel très disponible et à l'écoute. Petit déjeuner offert très sympa. Baisser le chauffages dans les salles communes peut se révéler être une bonne idée.

Unfortunately, the lights didn't work in one of our rooms during our stay (except for the bathroom) - the staff was very considerate and offered for us to change rooms however it wasn't worth the time and energy as we were only staying for the night and leaving first thing in the morning.

Hostel had just opened after repairs but things still weren't finished/fixed! The 1st night\repairmen came in to install the smoke detectors after we were asleep (1-we paid for a private to avoid night noise 2-safety features should be installed rooms are rented) Hot water in one room didn't work. Even once tap fixed the shower was always freezing. On arrival we were told luggage room was available; when we checked out they said we'd have to pay. Staff suggestions ok to get drunk, not much else

Hostel was great! The only thing I didn't like was that there was construction going on that we weren't aware of. Otherwise the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful!
