    I liked how central the hostel was in the gothic quarter. It had a cozy feel since it was a smaller hostel and the communal spaces felt welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and the free coffee and tea were a big plus. The staff was very helpful and kind. The bunks were basic but comfortable. The room was a little tight and having the lockers near the entrance of the room made it feel crowded. The bathrooms could have used more towels or tissues near the sink. I didn't realize that some of the social events wouldn't happen if there weren't enough people. A little more table/prep space in the kitchen would have been helpful.

    Staff members were helpful

    I liked their flexibility and that we managed to make preregistration and leave our bags there. Even if there's not so much free space in the building, it's pretty cozy. Also it's cool that their location is near the center. After we left, next day we had been covered in bites all over our bodies (but now after 1, almost 2 weeks we recovered, so all is good) I checked and found somebody had the same experience 2 months ago....so I think they have to clean first all building, because they have bedbugs.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Super friendly. Helpful. We did have our AC breakdown but they really tried hard to get it working. Really exceptional staff.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    The room was always hot. The stairs and the bathroom have a humid smell. The stairs to the bunk beds are small and uncomfortable.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    It would be better if there were curtains aroubd the beds.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Location, staff Nothing

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    In the middle of summer there was no air-conditioning - it was impossible to sleep. The noise from the common room was perfectly audible in the room late at night. The bathrooms were not very clean

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The location was great The room was hot as hell. There was no air conditioning. Only fans that kept whirring all night. The residents were migrating all night.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Staff were friendly and the location is pretty good. Lots of good restaurants around and situated really close to the cathedral. Also very clean. Broken / no AC. Pretty horrendous to sleep through in the heat with the temp around 30-35 degrees. I ended up leaving early to go to a hotel.
