You're in the northern region of France, with carefully aligned red bricks! Located in old barracks, the hostel offers 88 rooms for 1 to 4 persons, on 4 floors, a reception area with common room and coffee machines, many meeting rooms and a seminar room. The building is modern, with a fully renovated 3rd floor. The hostel enables you to open to new horizons. Jules Verne's work in the Maison à la Tour where he lived from 1882 to 1900, will take you to a true cultural and historical journey. After exploring Notre-Dame Cathedral, a Gothic UNESCO listed building, take time to discover by foot, on a punt, or on a carriage, the St Leu neighbourhood. You'll be charmed by the small streets, the narrow colourful houses, some of which host galleries, bookstores, shops and antiques. At night, you'll love its hip bars. On Saturday mornings, you can bask in the mosaic of colours of its water market... Amiens is located in the Somme region, sadly famous for its WW1 battles. There are thus many memorials, among which: 24 km: National Australian Memorial, in Villers-Bretonneux, where the German offensive was definitely stopped. This impressive memorial, behind a huge cemetery, is a tribute to the Australian soldiers who lost their lives during WW1. 40 km: the Ulster Tower (an Irish monument) and the French & British monument, both located in Thiepval. 46 km: Terra Nova memorial located in Beaumont-Hamel. 62 km: a museum about WW1's history, located in Peronne. And last but not least, Amiens is the perfect stop before the Somme Bay, which is said to be "one of the most beautiful bays in the world" thanks to its vast natural area where you can watch more than 300 migrating bird species, as well as a seal colony.

the youth hostel is a little too far away from the central station. in addition you have to buy a youth hostel card for 11 Euro. if you don't have the card your prize will be much higher. Hostel response: Hello, Thanks for your comment, to stay in the Fuaj hostels, you have to be a member, it is said on the website when you book. Just to let you know that the price for the night is the same for everyone (21.85 euros). We hope to see you again in Amiens!

Fine. Not that great of a town. Kind of run down area. Would have preferred if it had been closer to the city center.

The beds were uncomfortable; floors were creaky; walls to thin: meals OK but would be better in English as it is the most spoken language worldwide (I believe)

First pointer, make sure you have a map. It is in a good location, but not near the train station. The rooms (private double) are really comfortable, spacious and clean. Security was great, the lock even kept us out sometimes! lol. No worries about getting things stolen! Free Wi-Fi was fantastic, very useful. Only down side is not being able to access it in your room.
