Really friendly staff, very accommodating. Bed was extremely comfy. The only two downsides was the location as it is very close to the train line and the horns of the trains are fairly constant from the early hours of the morning, and it is very solitary to walk around at night.

Très bon emplacement, proche du centre-ville et les restaurants. Quartier sécurisé. Très bonne ambiance de l’hostel avec des activités un groupe WhatsApp actif. Une laverie à disposition et de multiples services. Eau bien chaude avec beaucoup de pression appréciable.
Le seul point négatif est le bruit car comme de multiples établissements, les fenêtres sont très mal isolées. Il s’agit juste d’un simple vitrage. On entend le bruit des voitures et surtout il y a un train qui passe juste à côté et qui siffle dès l’aube jusqu’au soir. Prévoyez vos boules Quies.
Je pense qu’il faudrait changer les fenêtres, quelque chose de plus isolant.
