    I loved the comfy common area, the full curtains on the beds, the location was amazing (so close to the spa/hot pools)! The high table upstairs has a beautiful view of the mountains & church. The kitchen was perfect, plenty of electric hot plates, a free food section with plenty of food there, lovely coffee/tea setup. The staff were so lovely, gave plenty of help with recommendations & set up movies and Mario cart nights! A beautiful river is a 5/10 minute walk away too!

    Very nice Host and Atmosphere (such a lovely living room!). You can get plenty of tips for day tours and the location is just perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook you own meals There is a day spa right next door (discount for hostel guests). Absolutely recommendabel!

    Very little! A walk downstairs to get to the shared bathrooms which has a slight damp smell

    Lovely ambience .... Designed with backpackers, hikers and bikers in mind. Great welcome and facilities such as the kitchen, bar and lounge and balcony area. Nice place to meet other travelers. Damien the host took great care in the place and making it welcoming

    Damien is a great host and very knowledgeable about hiking, activities and restaurants in the area. The hostel is in a great location just outside of Luz Saint Saveur, close to good hiking. The shared bedrooms were great, not too many people and sturdy, comfortable beds. Genuinely one of the best hostels I have stayed at!

    The bathrooms, although very nice and clean, are located downstairs from the bedrooms.

    Excelent shared rooms with all you need, individual lights, electric plug and hooks to hang your towel. Sink inside the room is very convinient too. Great shared kitchen and commons areas. Good location close to a thermal spa for a relaxing bath after long hikes!

    Well hard to say, can't find any inconvenient.

    Everything, so first, the owner know very well the different spots and gives very good advises for hicking, second, we've got a mario kart party with the guests, third, the kitchen is brand new and the amenities and accommodation worth definitely the value. Also, the staff and the owner are very kind, I don't have any complaint about them, if you looking for a very welcoming place, that definitely the place to be instead of an Airbnb.

    It’s a 20-30 minute walk out of the main town - not a problem but just to be aware of while booking! (Worth it for the price though)

    Great stay, everything you want from a hostel, everything was very clean and bed set up is great with curtains for privacy

    Une bonne étape dans les Pyrénées

    The property is next to a busy road where the traffic is very fast. Maybe this was due to the fact that a bridge was closed though. The doubleroom balcony would be a great asset if there was less traffic.

    Damien is a very friendly host and gave us good advice about hike around Luz St Sauveur. We stayed in the doubleroom which is spacious and has a large private bathroom. The huge shared living room / bar has a great atmosphere. The kitchen on the ground floor is very well equiped.

    Shower and toilets were fine but could use some expansion and improvement (which it looks like is currently ongoing)

    Great location for GR 10 hikers and people who want a good value for their money for a night's stay. Good beds with an electric socket for each one. Nice common areas.

    The breakfast was disappointing. I wish they would spend a little more and get some good baguettes. Instead, they served those really dense, spongy, cheap ones.

    I ended up with a room to myself. They loan bicycles to use. The owner was very helpful.
