    Overall, I’d say it’s okay to stay for a night or two. Everything is generally clean, except for the toilet and shower inside the rooms—they had a slight urine smell. The staff speaks limited English but does their best to help. The shared toilets and showers on the floor are much cleaner than the ones in the room.

    That I have to do the bedsheets and everything myself, felt unhygienic touching the mattress and the pillow and blanket without the new sheets... Some people start living there which is uncomfortable like getting into someones territory But overall good because you get toilet and shower separate in the room + you have another one in the hall so the hygiene there is great and fresh new toilet/ showers

    The hospitality is great, lovely people 👌 Friendly staff, safe location 😁

    Excellent hostel for a one-night stay - clean, warm, very easy to find and reach via the trams. Staff was friendly and my roommates were quiet. Bed was big and comfy (tall people, rest assured) and there are lockers by the bed. I would stay again.

    Breakfast is ok. Location is very good, just a short walk to the halles de bacalan, with many different options for food and drinks. It is also very close to the wine museum and to tram lines. The fact that the toilet and bathroom is separated from the bedroom is also a plus.

    The location isn't amazing but it was a better deal so I think the quality price was good - you just have to take the tram to get to the center. The main issue is that there was a heatwave when I went. It was UNBEARABLE to sleep in the rooms. I tried the first night and none of us could sleep not even 10 minutes. There is no AC upstairs although they say there's some central air thing we couldn't feel anything it was really hot but downstairs thankfully they have AC in the common areas. The next few nights myself and many others took our pillows, blankets and stuff and slept on couches, poofs, on the floor/rugs and that was way better. Still they need to get fans or AC in the rooms for mid-summer heatwaves because that was brutal. Thankfully they let us sleep downstairs but they should have a more sustainable solution.

    Beautiful mondern comfortable place to stay. Very good coffee and nice to have curtains on the beds. clean.

    One window per room ment that it could get rather stuffy, especially when it's too cold to open it. The best were okay, but took some getting used to.

    The outdoor area was pleasant. There was enough secure storage for my bags. The staff were very helpful and kind.

    The mattress and a fixed covering over it were not clean (they most likely do not clean it every time. the bed sheet was indeed washed but had some stains on it, which left a bed impression. Otherwise quite clean

    Modern hostel, has all you might expect from a hostel. Also lockers with a code (included in the reservation) for you bags. the room on the 5th floor was rather quiet with closed windows. It was also climatized. The ground floor is a big common area. The location (close to cité du vin in bobostan) is not that incredible but it is good connected with the tram line.

    On the Google maps the location wasn't quite exact. I had to ask people to find the hostel.

    Cool hostel! Everywhere it was clean. The staff is very friendly. The beds are very comfortably organized with your own light and charging source. Also you have a curtain which gives you some privacy. Everything is very good thought and reasonable. It's located not in the city center, but close, near the river. You'll find supermarkets, means of transport and restaurants close-by. I walked from the train station through the city center to get there. It's also possible, if you like to walk and have enough time.

    There is no air-con in the room but a floor fan. However, the feet of the floor fan are broken, so the fan is lean on the sink (there is sink in the sleeping area and also a sink in the shower area inside the room). It is not usable. During my stay, it was very hot and difficult to sleep without air-con and fan.

    Although the location is outside of the city center, however, it is a quick connection via tram B. Very quiet neighboud. Nice dining area indoor and outdoor. En-suite bathroom inside the room, toilet and shower areas are seperated and they are outside the sleeping area. Has charging socket and bed light per bed. Curtain is available. Each bed has two lockers plus a drawer.

    the floors in the room could be cleaner (there was imo excessive dust); the shower was kinda small and with a small hole through which the water sneaked on the floor.

    Very friendly staff; the place is close to the tram and a couple of bike/scooter parking spots; very comfortable waiting area at the ground floor; nice coffee and deserts. PS: i gorgot m small bag at the hostel, the staff promptly sent it by post and were very helpful and approaching.

    For some reason, the AC was nowhere to be found and the couple of nights I was there was hell (literally). I didn't use this bathroom but the reduced mobility one was infested with little rain termites.

    The location is really nice! Just a few minutes on tram from the center. The hostel had lots of fun activities like karaoke, soccer match watching party, trivia and more. The lobby + terrace was really comfortable and nice to work at or have a couple of drinks.
