Le Flâneur Guesthouse

Really enjoyed this hostel, friendly and helpful staff and other guests seemed nice and social. Good common areas and bed had plug point, light and shelf for little things like water bottle or phone.

Bathrooms were a bit smelly, but were clean.

Everything. Charming. Clean. Kind staff. Amazing kitchen and ambiance.

The location is perfect - about 20 minutes from the station and same distance, or less, to the center. The room was quite big, each person has space to store their things, the employees are very, very kind and talkative.

My bed had one power socket only so I could use the lamp or charger - not a big issue but a bit uncomfortable at times. The bathroom was not super clean, but it was fine.

The kindest, most helpful staff! Really accepting of all people. Really cute bar and living area. Free breakfast was a nice touch!

Beds were very squeaky, bathrooms were smelly/dirty (they got cleaned well 2x everyday but there were just a lot of people using them).

Spacious bathroom facilities, comfortable bed, ceiling fan in the room which was a huge bonus!

The hostel is cozy and there's a good atmosphere. There's a big locker for every guest under the beds, which makes it safe and easy to leave your things.

I didn't like the location at all. I was travelling alone and as a young woman, I didn't feel safe, especially during late hours. Kitchen was very crouded at times, but well organized.

There was live music which was good in the evening

Honestly this place felt more like a homeless shelter than a hostel. In the middle of the night a man came in to the room so drunk he shouldn't have been allowed in, climbed in to my bed (I was the only female in a room with three guys, one of whom had already drunkenly tried to come on to me while I was in bed so I was already feeling unsafe) then stood up, pulled down his underwear next to the bed and pissed all over the floor. How he was allowed in is crazy. I complained and asked for a refund but staff didn't help. Location was dodgy, rooms were not well maintained or comfortable, nothing much good to say about it to be honest.

This is a really really good hostel. I am surprised by the previous bad reviews. Honestly staying here was one of my best hostel experience, and I was travelling around hostels a lot before. Bathrooms: I liked that showers are clean and big, there was space to sit down and hang your clothes too. Clean and have big mirrors (plus a full body mirror too). Atmosphere: I like the atmosphere of the hostel, it’s very youth oriented and chill. I like stickers around the place, funny decorations and the overall design. Kitchen: The shared kitchen is very big, there are shelfs and fridge for guests. I was surprised how much space there was. There is a water fountain with cold refreshing water for all guests. Rooms: Very comfy and clean. There are rules that rooms are silent areas, and I was lucky to stay with people who respected this rule. I liked that the beds were nicely firm (hard to a good degree to make it comfy), especially pillows. It’s not true that they don’t offer female only rooms, they do (and for the same price as the mixed dorms). I stayed in female only room and felt very safe. Every guest gets a big storage box under their bed (it’s definitely bigger than the usual shelfs offered by many hostels). Remember to get your own padlock (but you can buy one here for like €3 if I remember correctly) All bedsheets are Ikea quality-typical hostel accommodation standard. Female oriented: I loved that they offer free period products, female only dorms and they take part in “ask for Angela” campaign. It’s very woman solo travellers friendly and it’s amazing! Common areas: There are board games, guitar and keyboard available, a nice outdoor patio space and library with books. Plus there are computers if someone has to use one! Location: Very close to the center, very nice surroundings. It’s only 10-15 min walk to the centre, and there is a metro station here too.

Bad aspects: The only drawback is that the breakfast food is poor. I liked that they use soya milk, but the food choice is very small (cereal or piece of bread with Nutella, jam or butter). I wish they offered some not sugary options like some cream cheese or some form of savoury sandwich spread. I understand that it’s free breakfast, but the choice is just super small which was disappointing.
