We had a private room which was clean. The Hostel breakfast was exquisite. Kind staff!

Whenever I did walk into the common bathroom it smelled weirdly and was semi clean.

"Une auberge de jeunesse sympathique où j'ai passé un très agréable séjour !"

9.0

Le petit déjeuner inclus était exceptionnel ! Complet et très bon ! Le personnel était bienveillant et accueillant. Les coffres de rangement personnel sous les lits étaient plus grands que ce que je pensais

La pièce commune dans laquelle se trouve les 6 lits en dortoir mixte est quand même plutôt petite. J'y ai passé peu de temps mais cela donne quand même l'impression d'être les uns sur les autres.
