Tolle Atmosphäre durch die super hilfsbereiten Angestellten und leicht Kontakte zu anderen Gästen zu knüpfen. Es ist nicht das schickste Hostel, aber Preis und Leistung passen zusammen und das bei der top Lage. Möglichkeit sich zurückzuziehen oder am Hostelleben teilzunehmen je nach Stimmung. Mein 2. Besuch und sicher nicht der letzte! Danke für eine tolle Woche

Bandou
Le seul bémol est la fermeture du bureau d'accueil à 20h (donc impossible de récupérer ses objets de valeurs au coffre fort). Sinon c'était trop super ! Personnel très gentil et auberge de qualité.
