Affreux, sale et puant, a fuir

1.0

Proche de la gare, son unique atout

Établissement à fuir, y aller uniquement en cas de nécessité et manque de choix… Rempli de drogués, sale, en résumé affreux

Disappointing

1.0

Honestly only the common area was pretty awesome

The toilets were so so old and moldy, the beds were'nt comofortable at all and we we're given a very thin blanket during the winter, it was just very very old and i didn't enjoy my time there at all

DO NOT STAY HERE

2.0

Well located within the town and does have some off-street parking.

On the last night of my stay, I had a local homeless man who was drunk and high stay in my room who absolutely stank and during the night urinated on the floor of the room and started touching all the beds. When I rang the out of hours number nobody answered and I never got a reply. I explained to the reception staff in the morning who did nothing I then reached out to management to let them know and to seek a refund for the last night and I have just had my time wasted so far. I doubt they actually kicked this guest out or changed the beds for future guests in that room. Half the hostel is made up of drug addicts with the staff complicit and unwilling to do anything. The building is very old and needs a lot of work, but this will never change as it's clear the owners have no intention of running this place properly.

Terrible

1.0

nothing, i booked through here for a client and they removed my client from the property with no reason.

My client was kicked out in the middle of a storm after my corporation had paid for 3 nights 2 days. The manager kick my client out without proper cause.
