They overbooked and told me to find somewhere else to stay. Staff called the manager who “gave no solution” so I needed to find somewhere else to stay. Was also not given a refund for my deposit. Unfortunate as seems like a great vibe.

Beautiful hostel with very nice facilities but absolutely dead social scene. They also had multiple group bookings of very young French kids who were extremely obnoxious playing loud music on portable speakers everywhere with big lines for the showers. Dunno why this was a thing? Staff didn’t seem to care a great deal about it either and let them do whatever they wanted
