Traveller's reviews and ratings
Moi et une amie avons passé 3 nuits à "Kabul". Les salles de bain sont propres, le personnel aimable. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais permet de bien se restaurer, on peut aussi manger au dîner, mais il n'y en a pas pour tout le monde alors pensez à faire la queue !! Niveau bruit nous n'avons pas était gênée.Trés bien situé. Pièce commune agréable.

I will recommend this hostel in person, I really detesté night.
No usability.
Poor rooms, only a cover fire for sleeping, not even know if it is clean!
Air conditioning throughout the night, is in ill.
The key work poorly.
Almost collective showers because no lock on the door and outside of the shower Towel!
Dirty bathrooms...
We offer you 20 minutes on the internet but the computer work very poorly then it will have to pay.

1 travel in hostel and certainly not the last. You hesitate to leave only, a unique adventure and meet a bunch of person, the hostel is made for you;-) to activities, cool staff (Yes grumpy qqfois night, but it is in crazy), a lease can better fall...
For rooms, I was in a room of 20, the first day I wondered where I had fallen, but I had fallen on people simply not law-abiding to open at the mat 2: light, shouting, singing, short of Pete people who spent the last night in Barcelona.
If the stay had been so me not be agreed, but on other days, people were very respectful of the respect of everyone. well on it's noise, but I who am not fan of the boulquies, well helped me.
a stay of the fire of God, feel more guys, go for it...

Memorable stay! I highly recommend the all young travellers solitary or group who want to make the celebration and meet of the world. It is extremely well placed which is great for outings. On meeting people from all walks of life, I found super cool staff. I was in the House of eight and is relatively well slept, however some people I have met have discouraged me 20 rooms.
You will not regret it!
