Good enough
Pros:

The check-in was easy, and they provided baggage storage before check-in and after you checked out. They had a nice common room, a bit run-down, but it offered a place to sit. The blanket and pillow were comfy.

Cons:

The internet did not really reach the female-only room, and the bunk beds and lockers were a bit wobbly. The shower was not great; the water would get a little warmer or colder without even touching the nozzle, and the pressure was bad.

Le apparenze ingannano, la stanza non era pulita e curata come in foto
Pros:

L’unica cosa che salvo è il personale gentile e disponibile e la posizione non è male.

Cons:

Ho pernottato in una matrimoniale con bagno privato. La stanza nelle foto sembrava bella ma è assolutamente una skammata. Stanza sporca e malandata, ambiente rumoroso, letto scomodo, bagno indecente. La posizione non è affatto male ma se lo scegliete siate consapevoli che vi dovete adeguare a questo standard bassissimo.

A éviter car pas de confort !
Pros:

Franchement pas grand chose, plutôt a éviter. Tu as des auberges dès que tu rentres tu sais que ce.ne sera pas sympa... Un état d'esprit

Cons:

Tout... La chambre de 6 étaient mal agencées ... L'accueil très moyen, l personne ne bosse pas avec son cœur. SDB wc des années 80, des odeurs ..ça ne sent pas le frais ... Petit dej qu'a 8h alors que nous étions déjà 6 a avoir quitté a 7h, donc pas de petit dej.. salon exiguë et pas de chaleur .. vraiment a éviter

Best hostel I've stayed at by far, felt safe and looked after.
Pros:

Felt like a home and not like living with 10 other people. Staff are always available to address problems and resolve them quickly.
Guests are considerate of other people staying there.

Cons:

Only one bathroom with one toilet and shower for a room of 10 people.
Possible bed bugs as I was bitten and itchy after leaving the property.
