Basic hostal with basic accomodations, for being a first timer in a european hostal, it was a little shocking to get your own sheets for example..location was good, close to a metro station and 20 minutes walk from the city centre

You get what you pay for: we stayed a night there. The area is not so nice but the room was clean. The bathroom was extremely small and we had to put the sheets on the beds ourself. A very simple breakfast was included. For the price it was fine.

When you check in they give you the linen, blanket and pillow case. You have to make your own bed and strip it in the morning to bring down to laundry container. No towel, you have to pay $2 if you want one. Daily rate is too high when you have to make your own bed and no towel provided. Will not stay in this place again.

It was overall good, everyone was really helpfull but the room had a few problems, the shower had hair and when used it wouldn't drain all the water and sometimes it would spill some water outside meaning we had to wait to shower.
The calefactor on the dorm didn't work perhaps it was our fault but it did bother us a little.
The breakfast was nice but I won't lie we expected more that's all on that regard.
Last but not least and perhaps this was more on us but it came as a shock to us the fact that we had to pay for the towels, maybe it's normal and we just didn't know if that's the case make it more clear for numb clients like us, thank you for having us!!
Everything else was good.

séjour agréable
séjour agréable, pensez juste à emporter une serviette sinon un supplément de 2€ est demandé. Mais malgré cela le rapport qualité prix est très bon (le petit déjeuné est compris) pour un hébergement en centre ville.

Great value for money; very pleasant staff, especially on reception, who went above and beyond; good breakfast. Some good middle eastern restaurants just around the corner. Only negative, currently, is that the area around the hostel is being redeveloped.

Ótimo custo benefício
Ficamos em um quarto com banheiro privativo e gostamos bastante. Limpo, confortável roupas de cama e banho bem limpas. O café da manhã foi simples, porém, muito gostoso. Tivemos que pagar € 2,00 pelo aluguel de cada toalha de banho. A localização é muito boa, próxima à estação de metrô “Botanique”. Voltaríamos com certeza!
