Les points forts : Personnel et service et infrastructures et conditions de l’hébergement
Not a great experience
It’s well located, with a supermarket a few meters away and plenty of restaurants. It’s between Museum and Central subway stations so that’s convenient. The hostel itself looks good when you first arrive and you can see the employees try their best to keep it presentable. Many problems for me though. First, my mattress was simply not comfortable, it was so used that its shape was all over the place. Then the bedrooms are separated from the lobby/kitchen (same room) by just a door so when people cook, and oh boy do they love cooking. They cook even at midnight or 2 am, which makes your room and bed stink very badly. You’re basically sleeping in the kitchen. All windows can’t be opened so the hostel is not designed for this kind of smell. The employees put fans to help the air move to the air extraction system but it doesn’t work. The lobby/kitchen is cleaned around 9pm but people come and cook long after that so when you wanna make some breakfast in the morning the kitchen is a total mess already. Moreover, the hostel is proud of its silence policy but it doesn’t work either. The closeness of the lobby/kitchen and the bedrooms makes it impossible not to hear people cooking or watching TV. One last thing: the toilets at the entrance of the hostel were not cleaned during my long stay. The floor was disgusting and sticky and stayed that way. Fortunately the toilets inside the hostel were cleaned.
