I was checked in sooner when I arrived I stayed in a mixed bed dorm 4quad no issues, they communicated quickly and the food there was also great. It was quiet, sheets were cleaned and they answered all my questions. Will be back 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.
