    The kitchen was not very clean. The wing containing the dorms was unlocked at night and, even though the gates to the hostel grounds were locked, I was concerned that someone from outside the hostel could gain access. Pascale was very helpful and friendly.

    It was an overnight stop on my way back home. It was adequate for that purpose.

    Hostel response:
    Thank you David

    I booked for a night (on 2 august) with my family in this hostel. Unfortunately, when I was approaching to the hostel, at Limoges a storm delayed my march. I phoned to the hostel reception to inform of my delay (estimated as just half an hour after the closing time !) but - probably for a misunderstanding - they told me that they could not await for me. So I had to find another arrangement in Limoges. I have been quite surprised that they couldn't await for me. I hope that this kind of assistance is not the rule. Best regards.

    Hostel response:
    Sorry Marcello. It was a great mistake from the receptionnist who doesn't understand the situation. Grrrrr ! We explied with you. Sure, if you come back, we offer you the night (even with the storm...) Pascale

    Really nice hostel, staff were very helpful and got a great nights sleep. Brive is quite a quite and boring place though so really only much good as a cheap stop over.

    Nice hostel, cute guest kitchen. We didn't realize there were no buses from Brive that go to the ancient caves, and that we'd need a car.

    Hostel response:
    Thank you Jane. :) Pascale

    There is a nice outdoor area, and the beds are comfortable, but the kitchen and bathrooms were dirty Nd the place just generally needs a facelift. Brive is a lovely town, although it turns out to not be near anything (I thought it was near Lascaux, but it's not really). Nobody speaks English in this area, either.
