Auberge de Jeunesse HI Cahors

The view is incredible from the terrace and it’s wonderful to have a breakfast bar included! No hair dryer in the room or soap is all.

We enjoyed 2 quiet and comfortable nights in the well located, modern hostel. Friendly, helpful staff. I’m not particularly enamoured by the unfinished concrete look mixed with lots of glass & its associated lack of sustainability credentials, but I suppose it’s cheap, fast and functional (see film ‘1984’ for an impression of the rooms/cells!). It lacks maintenance too & if the building issues aren’t addressed, it’ll look rather poor/shabby soon; rather inappropriate for the incredible location.

Suggestions 1. a space for public transport information. Pilgrims often take a day off the Chemin in Cahors and the only alternative to walking is bus or train. The Tourist Information Office isn't always available so having times would be very helpful. 2. What about space for local visit ti from auberge users too. 3. Our 3 bed dorm had a connecting door to the adjoining room. It was locked of course, but the noise through it kept us all awake. Could adjacent occupation be avoided?
