LE FLÂNEUR

Ostello autentico, molto randagio ma con bella gente e ottimo per conoscere nuove persone. Ero con mia sorella in camerata mista, ci siamo sentite accolte e a nostro agio. Locker per le borse e 24h aperto. Alla prossima!

J'ai passé un excellent séjour et je tiens tout particulièrement à remercier Razak. Mon arrivée tardive n'a posé aucun problème. Il m’a accueilli avec une gentillesse et une chaleur comme je n’en avais jamais connues auparavant. Grâce à lui, je me suis sentie immédiatement à l’aise. Merci du fond du cœur, Razak, tu as rendu mon séjour tout simplement merveilleux !

I stayed there for two nights and I really loved the community spaces. The Service was great and the people were very kind. The vibe of the hostel was also very cozy. I liked that there were generall rules that made the stay for everyone better. The Hostel was very clean what I really appreciate.
I would've loved to have more space to put my stuff on then just the little box on the wall and I didn't see a Socket on my bed but I know that there were ones on the other beds so I'm not sure if I just didn't see mine.
The location was pretty good. It was very easy to get everywhere with the tram or Metro. At Daylight I did feel safe in the neighborhood but at night I wouldn't have so I came back earlier.

All in all I must say I really enjoyed my stay and I can definitely recommend anyone to go there!

This is a really really good hostel. I am surprised by the previous bad reviews. Honestly staying here was one of my best hostel experience, and I was travelling around hostels a lot before.

Bathrooms:
I liked that showers are clean and big, there was space to sit down and hang your clothes too. Clean and have big mirrors (plus a full body mirror too).

Atmosphere:
I like the atmosphere of the hostel, it’s very youth oriented and chill. I like stickers around the place, funny decorations and the overall design.

Kitchen:
The shared kitchen is very big, there are shelfs and fridge for guests. I was surprised how much space there was. There is a water fountain with cold refreshing water for all guests.

Rooms:
Very comfy and clean. There are rules that rooms are silent areas, and I was lucky to stay with people who respected this rule. I liked that the beds were nicely firm (hard to a good degree to make it comfy), especially pillows.

It’s not true that they don’t offer female only rooms, they do (and for the same price as the mixed dorms). I stayed in female only room and felt very safe.

Every guest gets a big storage box under their bed (it’s definitely bigger than the usual shelfs offered by many hostels). Remember to get your own padlock (but you can buy one here for like €3 if I remember correctly)

All bedsheets are Ikea quality-typical hostel accommodation standard.

Female oriented:
I loved that they offer free period products, female only dorms and they take part in “ask for Angela” campaign. It’s very woman solo travellers friendly and it’s amazing!

Common areas:
There are board games, guitar and keyboard available, a nice outdoor patio space and library with books. Plus there are computers if someone has to use one!

Location:
Very close to the center, very nice surroundings. It’s only 10-15 min walk to the centre, and there is a metro station here too. It’s in African area, but I felt safe and I think many people that complain about the fact that the place has a lot of people of colour have some racist biases they should work on with a therapist or something.

Bad aspects:
The only drawback is that the breakfast food is poor. I liked that they use soya milk, but the food choice is very small (cereal or piece of bread with Nutella, jam or butter). I wish they offered some not sugary options like some cream cheese or some form of savoury sandwich spread. I understand that it’s free breakfast, but the choice is just super small which was disappointing (hence 4 stars and not 5).

Overall I would give it 8.7 out of 10!

Seules Le service et l'accueil sont bien. sinon l'auberge en elle même est très vetuse.
