"Love the hostels but the first night was COLD"

8.0

Location, atmosphere

Our room had no thermostat, and our whole first evening we were freezing under a constant flow of icy A/C. The desk told us they could only change the thermostat at 1:00 pm when the current occupants left. That's a VERY strange way to run a hostel. The other nights were okay, but we still had no thermostat.

"Great stay. Private room need ladders for the bunkbeds."

8.0

I like the location and the facilities. Many opportunities to meet new people and find new opportunities throughout the city and and in the hostel itself. I enjoyed the tour with Tom the walking tour first time doing an event at the hostel and he knocked it out of the park.

I had a private room with a twin over a full. There was no clear ladder or footing to climb up to the twin. Very awkward and unsafe because there were no grips and no real good hand placements to go up and down. As someone in the 60s going up that bunkbed without a ladder surely was unsafe and unstable. Other than that, I enjoy the place great location please address the above. You may run into some liability issues because you haven’t provided that option.

"Great Sleep!"

8.0

I’ve stayed here multiple times. Not sure if they changed mattresses or something but they are SO plushy and comfortable now! I could have melted into that little twin bed! lol

All was great as always. This is always my go to if I can’t find a cheap hotel.

"De passage pour 4 nuits je valide en tout points l’établissement !!! Une réelle agréable surprise qui m’a bien profité p"

9.0

Superbe emplacement en plein centre pratique d’accès et idéal pour visiter la ville. Établissement propre, moderne et spacieux !!

La climatisation un peu trop forte à mon goût mais c’est un avis personnel et on m’a gentiment prêté une seconde couverture à l’accueil. Rien à voir avec la propreté de l’établissement mais plutôt le manque de savoir vivre des gens : l’établissement a l’avantage d’avoir des tuyaux avec pommeaux de douche donc une petite affiche sur les portes des douches pour faire penser aux gens de rincer la douche après leur passage ça serait bien je pense.
