    Was expensive considering the rooms are very basic.

    Nice staff, a lively place since everyone is so social. Places to hang out in the bar and also in the kitchen area. Right in the centre of everything.

    I really love the location of this hostel and the warm reception. It's a short walking distance to all the food joints and drinking bars around. Would definitely recommend. 😁

    There's a courtyard curfew of 10PM, but no curfew for inside the buildings. The first night, a bunch of people were partying in the kitchen till 4AM and none of the staff shut it down. I get that it's a hostel but I think that's a bit unreasonable for the other guests. It was also fairly hot in our room and no way to turn the AC on.

    It's close to the Old Port and the metro, so that's nice. Takes about an hour to get to the nearest Calanque with public transport, so that wasn't too bad either. The shared kitchen in our building was good, but some stuff was missing (i.e. there was only one bowl for the whole building) and the ensuite showers were decent!

    The AC in the rooms is always on and if you cannot get the bed that is away from the AC, then it might be a problem. I asked the staff to increase the temp, and they did, but you'll still have ppl in the room who are fine with it. Thus, the cover was not enough for me, and the pillow was too low.

    Amazing location, the Old Port is 3min walk away. Bus stations nearby and quite easy to go around. I went to the wonderful Prado beach, and it was so easy to reach it from the port. The staff is so helpful and available 24/7.

    They have a restaurant/bar but unfortunately is only open some of the days, which didn't coincide with my stay, so I didn't get to try it.

    The location is great! Close to the metro and several bus routes, with many restaurants and bars right outside of the hostel. The hostel has a young and friendly vibe which is great if you are travelling alone and want to meet people. They even have a whatsapp group for the guests where you chat with everyone and make plans! There is also a kitchen that is great for long stays, and a patio where you can hangout during the day. They also have a baggage room where you can leave your bags after your check out if you have a later flight.

    The rooms, particularly the bathrooms, are a little shabby, with peeling paint. Our sink plug got jammed in and we had to use a knife from the kitchen to lever it out.

    Good location, good price. Staff are friendly.

    It was very noisy The bedroom was very hot with no air conditioning The toilet was seperate to the shower room BUT there is no water tap to use in the toilet room so you have to wait for the shower room to wash your hands anyway! The bunk beds are squeaky

    It is easy to get to & find & close to the old town Late check in is allowed There is a friendly feeling The staff try really hard to help you however they can The security felt quite good

    Crappy Atmosphere
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The common/kitchen room in the extension building was hot and humid. Enough so it was like being in a sauna (June 2023 evening). It wasn't air-conditioned and thus hot and humid. The dorm room itself was good, had A/C. I was surprised that management doesn't think A/C in the common kitchen/room, which also lacked adequate seating, merits same indoor climate as with main building facility. Pop outside same building for fresh air, and there are no chairs, shelter, nothing provided. It was either stand in rain or stand inside humid/hot/uncomfortable common room. Thus, crappy atmosphere.

    good location
