Traveller's reviews and ratings
Welcoming staff, social event, I have spent 3 days there and it was nice. Rooms are clean which is not so current at this price in others youth hostels.
By Manu | The 13-10-2011
Very good stay. A good home. Own sanitation, washed regularly. Good hot showers. Clean linen provided and changed regularly by staff. Only criticisms: the Windows are not very isolated and catch to recharge computer, phone and camera is low (think to take a cord, multi-prise). The pub is a good place, but to discuss would a room a little more calm and clean at the youth hostel. Located in zone 1 to two steps from the subway, I will return.

Ideal location and warm atmosphere, I went back there even if I lived over a drink. Very good hostel.
By Thomas | The 26-07-2011
Sympathetic youth hostel, located two steps from the Metro. However, the location is a little noisy, balls Quies are necessary if we want to sleep.
