Brilliant location, met some really really great people here. The layout is nice with the courtyard, and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the security guard & courtyard being locked off at night. Did spot some roaches in the kitchen😣 and the AC gave me and my friend a bit of a sore throat after a couple nights. Still, would probably stay again if back in Marseille! - it was definitely nicer than the People hostel my other friend was staying at.

Location was perfectly located in the central. Hostel was not social whatsoever and pretty sure it was some sick old crackhead sleeping on my top bunk. The common area was also not a area to chill or relax at all.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. However the kitchen was missing a lot of utensils and I didn’t rate the bunks not having blinds just for some extra privacy when staying in a mixed dorm.
