A perfect base for anyone wanting to boulder, bike or walk the Fountainebleau area. The lady at reception was so friendly and let me practice my french!

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff are so welcoming and do a very good job in my opinion. The hostel had everything I needed, and it was nice I could experience Fontainebleau without needing to rent a car or bring crash pads. Thank you!!
