It’s a new place, but I’m sure they will be improving some of the facilities Rooms are very hot, air conditioning didn’t work at all, maybe saving on electricity

Poor - Would not return

Great location near to main station and tram links and close to old town (very close). Relatively modern interior. However, the wifi was non-existent (kept telling me it would be fixed in tomorrow, I was there 8 days, it wasnt and when I asked them they just laughed) and place is a like a farraday cage no data signal... sink in communal kitchen out of order so no water for cooking (not great for hostel), also the kettle was broken, didnt boil just luke warm so have to boil water on stove. Beds were too small (I'm 5'9\" so not tall not short but either my head or my feet were up against the boards. Worst pillow ever, like a singular marshmellow. Also rooms (all rooms) were very small and awakwardly shaped so you had to climb on the toilet to get in the cubical (communal, the room toilets and showers were fairly decent). Also far too expensive almost €50 per night for a hostel is basically hotel money, not worth that much. Ive stayed in better hostels for less money.

The hostel is relatively new. But it is very tight in size especially the bathrooms. It is a decent place.

I think this hostel is really nice! It wasn’t very social while I was there, but the rooms were clean, probably the cleanest shower I’ve seen in a hostel and the kitchen area is quite nice! Because it is in the basement it does get really really cold down there so it’s not a usable space in January, however I can see the potential for summer! It would be nice if there were more common areas that had heat and seating for people to visit as the rooms don’t have anywhere to sit in them! Very close to the train station and lots of food/bars/shopping. Activities like a walking tour would have been nice!

Worst hostel in France

I have stayed in many, many hostels - including 100+ bunk rooms on the Camino de Santiago. I have never been somewhere as bad as this. There is quite a problem with the air at this hostel. At check in I was given a room with an intolerable smell, and all they could do was move me to another room that had the same problem. This hostel is far too cramped, and there is no airflow. They refused any attempt to obtain a refund and relocate to acceptable lodging. The staff is friendly, but the ownership needs to remove about half the bunks if they want these incredibly small and stale rooms to remain inhabitable. Truly a miserable experience.

staff were excellent and extremely helpful and all spoke english really well. rooms were well cleaned and looked nice. the hostel is right next to a tram stop so you can get anywhere in the city pretty easily. hostel is 5 minute walk from place de la comedie which has great restaurants and there are some convenience shops nearby for snacks and drinks.
rooms were a bit cramped for 6 person dorms and no air conditioning, only a small electric fan, so it can get extremely hot. bunk beds were wooden boxes just under 2 metres length so if you are tall it will be cramped. on weekends the club next to the hostel and the people can get really loud so it was hard to fall asleep after 11:45pm.

Lovely hostel with friendly staff, clean and modern. At 5'9/175cm I did feel the bunks were a little short, as either my head or feet were constantly hitting off one side, so anyone over 6' might find this a bit annoying.

Nuit difficile

Accueil très bien.
La nuit, le bruit extérieur, probablement dû à la boîte de nuit à proximité, a généré des nuisances sonores importantes pendant une bonne partie de la nuit. Il était compliqué de trouver le sommeil dans ces conditions.

Ensuite, la nuit a été entrecoupée par l’arrivée de nouveaux colocataires dans le dortoir. Une première arrivée, en duo, s’est faite sans grande discrétion (utilisation de flashs de portable, bruit de sacs…). Mais c’est surtout vers 00h45 qu’un autre client est arrivé en allumant la lumière principale de la chambre, réveillant tout le monde. Il semblait perdu, se plaignant à haute voix qu’il avait une réservation non confirmée et qu’il n’y avait personne à l’accueil pour le renseigné sur son lit. Il a ensuite longuement discuté en anglais avec un des membres du duo arrivé plus tôt.

Malheureusement, cela ne s’est pas arrêté là : une fois couché, il a continué à écouter des messages vocaux sans écouteurs, dérangeant l’ensemble de la chambre.

L’air dans la chambre étant également très lourd et peu propice à une bonne oxygénation, j’ai finalement décidé de descendre à l’accueil jusqu’à 3h du matin, le temps que la situation se calme. Ce n’est qu’à ce moment-là que je suis remonté dans la chambre pour essayer de me recoucher.

Peut-être certaines règles de discrétion pourraient être mieux rappelées aux voyageurs, notamment concernant les arrivées tardives. Un point sur l’aération pourrait aussi être envisagé pour améliorer le confort client.

Das Hostel liegt nur wenige hundert Meter vom Bahnhof und der Innenstadt entfernt. Die Lage ist von daher bestens. Die Zimmer sind jedoch extrem eng. Es ist keinerlei Platz, keine Sitzmöglichkeit, oder Ablagefläche, nichts. Regelrecht auf maximalen Gewinn ausgerichtet zusammengepferchte Betten. Ein Bett im Raum ist total krass. Man kann nur von hinten, unten in das Bett durch ein Loch reinkriechen. Das Loch ist halb so breit ist wie das Bett breit ist. Sowas habe ich noch nirgends gesehen. Durch die extreme Enge des Raumes entsprechend total schlechte Luft. Gegenüber vom Hostel ist ein Nachtclub, wo bis morgens um 6 Uhr laut gefeiert wird. Offenes Fenster ist also nicht möglich. Zudem fährt auch die Strassenbahn direkt unter dem Fenster vorbei. Das Gepäck kann man nur im Keller abstellen. Im Zimmer ist Platz für NICHTS. Der Keller ist sehr geräumig, Aufenthaltsraum, Gepäckraum und Küche. Es ist jedoch, zumindest Ende April dort eiskalt. Man kann sich dort kaum aufhalten. Zudem riecht es nach Schimmel. Insgesamt aufgrund der Lage kann man dort mal übernachten.
