JOST Auberge de Jeunesse Bordeaux Gare St Jean

Near train station, restaurants and supermarket. The staff were nice.

It would be helpful if staff were able to show guests where facilities are not just give a key to the room.

Very cool hostel, I like the amount of privacy in the shared rooms. The bunk beds are great.

Everything was great. It would be cool to get more information when you arrive. Nobody informed me whether the pool was open or not or how to reach it.

An extremely impressive youth hostel, which aside from the shared rooms and bathrooms, felt more like a top end hotel. The decor is beautifully done, with a lovely breakfast room, a rooftop terrace with bar and pool (unfortunately not yet open for the season early April - even though the weather was in the high 20s) even a dedicated kitchen area for guest use. The room was a decent size, and the beds comfortable and sturdy, and properly enclosed for privacy. I didn't hear any noise from other rooms or the bar on the floor below. All the staff on reception I interacted with during my stay were super friendly and helpful. I was able to leave my luggage after check out, and always felt like I was a valued guest. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

It was all good. The only issue is that even though it's in the right part of town it's quite a walk from the train and bus station with bags, or to get into the city, but there are bus stops close by.

I liked the restaurant attached to the hostel. Really great breakfast and good value for money. Nice and central location, close to the train station.

The rooms were very dark. I felt a bit boxed in. The kitchen facilities were a bit average, the kettle had broken, and no mugs around. Also the kitchen area is very small so not very social. The downstairs area we found on the last night was a better place to hang out.
