1) shower (same as in jail)
2) receptionists (mean spirit, unresponsive to contacts)
3) you have to buy food from them. 9 euros above. No kitchen. No outside good.
1) Worst receptionists of all hostels. The guy saw I had been waiting for check in for a while, after he finally came back, he chose to work in kitchen instead. He never lifted a finger to help store luggage. He never bothered to tell me anything else other than room number.
2) The first time I ever heard from a hostel that to borrow a hairdryer you need to give your ID to receptionist (woman). My ID is worth more than 10 euros.
3) the shower is same as those in jail.
4) bear in mind, if you come back late at night, the bus can’t come because the bridge is blocked everyday at certain time.
5) their entrance has stairs.
6) overall everyone here is cold and rude. Else is ok.
Clean rooms and bathrooms, workers friendly and helpful, easy to find from tram, near Cite du Vin and a nice food market, great lobby/lounge area with wifi, restaurant and a microwave (no fridge for guests tho).
Arrived here around 5pm as my air b and b was a, single room with me sleeping on the floor so I decided to check out this hostel after a good friendv told me and reading the reviews I checked in it was easy the staff amazeing, room a little cramped sleeping areas clean roomy and a curtain for privacy I used the down stairs toilet as out toilet to our room was engaged. I stayed for one night had breakfast at 7.50 euros carnt fault it good selection of jucied bread cheese ham cereal ect. Also thier is a happy hour on the evening from 6 till 10. All in all a great stay.
The hostel was clean and comfy. It’s a 15 minutes tram ride to city centre which is very convenient and there are CCTV/lockers available so it’s very safe too. Only issue seems to be that you share 2 showers amongst I’d imagine ~30 people when the hostel is fully booked. That said, would highly recommend and the stay was very nice!
