| L'AJ est divisée de facon a ce que les résidents se voient et parlent ensemble, ce qui est sympa. Et la plage est tout pres! D'un autre côté, pour aller au Vieux-port, c'est un peu plus long. Le staff agréable. Et il y a wifi gratuit, ca c'est genial. | ||

| The staff from the bar/ canteen was really friendly, the staff from the from desk not very much. The bathrooms smelled horribly, and many times the water from the showers was bearly warm. Lots of old people staying there, so not very nice atmosphere. The food from the canteen is very good and cheap.You have to pay for the internet. | ||

| the hostel security was a joke, simply asking for a key at reception allowed you the key to any room.
The hostel was soulless, and in fact, managed to take a little piece of my soul.
The location was ridiculously out of town, far from anything. i felt as though i was in a suburb, not a city. | ||

| Great place- spacious and clean- not a "party hostel" by any means... Breakfast was definitely French- bread, coffee, OJ and yogurt.
The biggest drawback is that it is quite a bit outside of downtown- not really walkable at all- you have to take the metro to almost the end of the line, then the 44 bus for about 20 minutes... There is a nice beach very close with a ferris wheel though. not. bad. | ||

| noisy until late at night with young children allowed to run thru the halls yelling, no supervision, doors slamming. Breakfast good but dinners terrible. You need some real cooks. | ||

| Nice hostel, close to the beach. No air con which made sleeping very uncomfortable and unpleasant in the summer. | ||
