Disorganised, slow, lack of communication. Staff were friendly, and terrace view was very nice.

Worst hostel I ever stayed, urine smell in rooms. Apparently toilet water comes out through sink and shower drain and the whole room smells like urine. The smell was unbearable when I walked in to dorm. My AirPods got stolen, absolutely no privacy in rooms. Beds are open with no curtains . Shower area is gross and you have to hold a button for water, no shower head either, just a tube.

À réfléchir avant de venir ici
Aujourd’hui il viens de me montrer une pizza surgelé qui ouvre devant moi pour le mettre au four factur é 12 euros . Le lit m’a été pris par une personne donc je fini dans un autres.
Tous les jour un coup c’est chaud la douche pour 2 min le reste du temps c’est presque froid , il m’ont prit 6 euros de taxe de séjour pour 3 nuits alors que c’est 0,80 ct par nuit 3x8=24 donc franchement c est a réfléchir si ça vaux le coup pour la vue tous se mal fonctionnement du personnel . L endroit en lui même ça va c’est un bon style .

Bel endroit, mais trop de points négatifs.
Des moments peu ragoutant m'ont laisse quelques mauvais souvenirs concernant les toilettes. Le fonctionnement des douches est très rustiques. Et les miroirs des chambres ne sont pas propres. Sinon ma location est superbes, les hôte.sse.s sont accueillantes. Des problèmes informatiques néanmoins avec le service de paiement en ligne.

Un bon hostel pour backpacker
J'ai été globalement satisfait par mon séjour, le prix est très intéressant étant donné l'emplacement. J'ai cependant trouvé le matelas très rudimentaire et l'évacuation de la salle de bain assez mauvaise (il n'y a pas de fenêtres).
Cependant c'est un bon hostel, le prix est honnête et le personnel est très amical.
