Very high quality for the price

It is a bit far away from the train station, but easy to get there using a city bike (1 €). Excellent clean rooms and facilities, lots of safe storage available for your stuff. There are even curtaibs for your privacy on the bed.

Carlos, 2-night trip

Location is very good. 1 minute to wine musuem and tramvay stop. Old town is 45 minutes away from the hostel on foot. Walking to old town is very nice. Staff is very friendly. The dorm room there's bathrroom and curtain at bunk. Would definitely stay there again.

6/10 Good

What I like : facilities What I don’t like : rude staff. Inconvenient Luggage storage. You need an automatic button for the storage so we don’t have to waste time looking for key when your staff are always playing hide and seek. Unlike other hotels, reception is always away from the desk. You need someone sitting there for hours.

Ok
Lucia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

1) shower (same as in jail) 2) receptionists (mean spirit, unresponsive to contacts) 3) you have to buy food from them. 9 euros above. No kitchen. No outside good.
Qing, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

1) Worst receptionists of all hostels. The guy saw I had been waiting for check in for a while, after he finally came back, he chose to work in kitchen instead. He never lifted a finger to help store luggage. He never bothered to tell me anything else other than room number. 2) The first time I ever heard from a hostel that to borrow a hairdryer you need to give your ID to receptionist (woman). My ID is worth more than 10 euros. 3) the shower is same as those in jail. 4) bear in mind, if you come back late at night, the bus can’t come because the bridge is blocked everyday at certain time. 5) their entrance has stairs. 6) overall everyone here is cold and rude. Else is ok.

8/10 Very good

Pour l'accueil & la situation

cette fois-ci, je n'ai pu dormir que 2 petites heures, trop de bruits trop longtemps des autres occupants du dortoir (8 lits), compliqué quand on est en transit pendant un long voyage (travail), heureusement, c'est largement compensé par l'accueil, l'amabilité et les bons conseils des réceptionnistes...

Ambiance agréable à vivre et pour le travail !

C’était super dans l’ensemble. Le personnel est accueillant et l’environnement est agréable. Petit bémol pas des moindres il n’y a pas de diffuseur de parfum ou même des produits senteurs dans les toilettes. Sachant que les chambres sont petites alors quand quelqu’un rentre au toilette l’odeur remplit la chambre. Et le lavabo également sentait mauvais au matin. Donc peut être mettre un petit produit à coté également pour le lavabo.
