I had a great experience at this hostel. The atmosphere was very social, and I enjoyed sharing and speaking with the other guests. The kitchen and dining hall were lovely, fully equipped, and became the main place where people spent most of their time. The key card system was also fantastic. My only minor issue was that there was often a queue for the showers, so a smoother system there would have made the stay even better.

Overall the accommodation was good - the room was a good size and the place was clean and tidy. Although it would benefit from better pillows and aircon or a ceiling fan during summer. Our main issue was the shocking experience we received from one member of staff at check in - a fairly young asian lady. We rang the bell not realising we are required (not optional) to use the self check in. When she arrived her first words were 'Is there a problem?'. We responded there was no problem we just wanted to check in. She then said 'Yes, so whats the problem?'. We didnt understand and her response was 'It is self check in and unless there is a problem with self check in then there should be no problem'. Weve never experienced such poor service and she continued in this tone until we pointed out she should probably actually greet new arrivals and explain things as if they havent been there before before going straight to this kind of tone - which is still unprofessional and entirely unacceptable. The poor attitude continued as she checked us in and we didnt bother coming back to reception to ask for advice on activities, which was one of the reasons we chose this accommodation. Overall poor review due to the shocking first impression given by one staff member.

It’s a simple hostel, but the room was clean and as advertised. The check-in system is automated and worked fine. You can pay 5 francs to check-in early. The balcony was nice; location was great.

The room was clean, and overlooking the canal, which was lovely. Room was a little small, but quaint and very clean, so no complaints overall. Lovely little place.

We stayed 2 nights as a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers). Pros: great location, clean, friendly staff and great breakfast. Rooftop terrace is lovely with excellent views of the hang gliders. Very convenient to have laundry facilities on site. Cons: well, it's a hostel...rooms are very basic. Family room 14 was exceptionally noisy because it sits above the main floor lounge/bar area, and beneath the bathrooms above it. Walls are thin and we could hear other guests stomping around all night long. Beds are also squeaky (esp the bunkbed), and pillows are flat and lumpy. Overall felt overpriced and not a great value for money. Probably not somewhere we'd stay again as a family but I'm sure it's a good hostel for travelers who are seeking that type of accommodation.
