The word “hostel” directly makes you expect something cheap and underwhelming. Well, that was absolutely not the case here. Before we even arrived, we received the exact check-in time, the code for the key box, and our room number. We were greeted by a spacious, super clean and modern room with everything we needed. It also had a nice big window, which we closed almost immediately because of the “singing cicadas” the street outside was full of. The bed was super comfortable, and the AC worked perfectly. The bathroom was clean, modern, bright, and even had a proper window. Honestly, it felt nothing like a hostel and much more like a proper hotel room. Breakfast was also included and was exceptional, served directly to you. There were also two super nice cats on the premises, and it definitely seemed like they were well taken care of. One thing to know is the parking situation. The hotel has no private parking, which is understandable considering how dense the city is. Roadside parking is extremely difficult, just like the traffic in the city in general. There is a parking garage just one block before the hotel, but be aware that it’s quite expensive — €19 for around 1.5 days felt pretty brutal.

Great value. Detailed check in info and responsive host, although they ONLY speak French. 3 minutes away from the tram stop that takes you to the center within 7 minutes. Convenient parking behind a barrier. Comfortable bed and sofa-bed. Has AC.

There was construction work above our head 10am-4pm. The bathroom could do with some better ventilation

Right place

No coffee facilities. Parking

There was a bus stop right in front of the hostel which was great. It is 15 minute walk from the town centre. The staff were very pleasant people!

The room I was in was extremely tiny and also no window which was literally the worst. I personally felt suffocated, because okay you stay with 5 other people, but at least you can have more space, but it was way too tiny. There were only like 3 toilets for the hostel (F) and it's not great.
