I loved the hostel, it was very nice to stay in. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. Bed's are comfy, although no social area I still got to talking with people in my room, check in area or even in the kitchen. the lock boxes in the rooms don't work but i just brought valuable with me or hidden in my bag so not a problem, the hostel also itself felt very safe not in a bag neighborhood close to everything. Airco works which is handy in the summer, kitchen has no stove but didnt need

I’m pretty sure there was mold in my rooms. If I slept with my face facing one side I woke up with my throat feeling like I swallowed the Sahara desert. If I did the other side of the bed it was fine.

Do not stay here. I found a cockroach in my room, the beds are tiny, the shower is extremely small, and the toilet has no sink. There is no real common area, so meeting people is difficult. The hostel is overpriced for what you get, and the staff are very inflexible. After a week of early mornings travelling around the South of France, I wanted one morning to sleep in, but checkout from 11-2 rules were enforced with zero flexibility. Very frustrating experience overall. would not recommmend!
