Nice ho(s)tel hidden in the centre of town.

The hostel is pretty nice: rooms seemed clean and facilities were nice. However, I had to get a low score for how I was treated a check-in. Receptionist was rude and unwelcoming. Also the terrace was closed with no explanations.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a convenient place within a walking distance of the train station to catch a train the next day, and also within a walking distance from the vibrant port area. The room was convenient, but the A/C did not work nor could be fixed (the staff was helpless in this regard), so me and my family had a sleepless hot night. We opened the windows to try and cool down the room a bit, but there was street noise until 4am. In addition, the area of this hostel is dirty and not attractive. The only things we liked was the good vibe at this place, the nice interior court yard with tables and benches, and the breakfast options that were good and cheap.

Hostel is nice and clean. Bathroom is tiny. I am 5'7 130lb and bruised both my elbows trying to shower and brush my teeth. Facing the busy street was very hard to sleep at night especially with jet lag but for the price, it will do for a short stay.

Good location, clean, overall positive

Location of this place was good, walking distance to train station and to the waterfront. Property was mostly clean (floors were not that clean), the sleeping pods were function and well maintained. Wifi was also good. I just wished they had a bit more substantive kitchen instead of just a microwave and fridge.

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I was surprised with how clean and modern the room I stayed in was. The bathroom was tiny--I could comfortably wash my hands in the sink while sitting on the toilet--but I was grateful to have it in-room. Having an all-female dormitory option was great, too, as I think all hostels should have. The cleaning staff comes in daily and all of my interactions with them in the room or hallway were rather me smiling or saying bonjour and them just ignoring me, which was not typically what happens in other hotels I've stayed in.

This is the best hostel I've stayed at in awhile. Loved the following: - Fast, efficient check-in with some of the information captured in pre-online check-in - Excellent air conditioning in the bedrooms!! I arrived around the time of a summer heatwave and most places in France don't have air conditioning. - HUGE room space - Loved the curtain privacy, amenities in the bed space and the dimmable LED strip - The most spacious private bathroom I've ever seen in a hostel. The bath curtain sealed the water splash efficiently, there was enough space to change properly without feeling cramped and the face sink was roomy enough to layout toiletries. - There were zero odors lingering in the bathroom or room. This is because the extractor fans are strong, run continuously and the door was gapped to allow airflow. As an engineer, I appreciate a good design! - Loved that the breakfast had two payment options - A lite and a buffet. The lite option worked just perfect for me and the coffee was particularly excellent (bold/strong) Only mild couple areas to consider improving: - The drink prices were higher than typical budget-prices you'd pay at a hostel bar. - Do consider something in the doors to soften the bang from slamming. Not everyone is considerate to those sleeping.
