I stayed here for 1 night. It was my first time in a hostel and I was highly impressed. It’s very clean, well kept and safe (24hr concierge and locks on the entrance to building and your room). They have different activities everyday to socialize with other travellers. I will definitely will be staying here again.

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.
