A decent hostel with a nice kitchen and good folk, and although its not in the centre of Grenoble, its just around the corner from a popular bus stop, and a shopping centre for food =) Good gear

Lively, friendly, welcoming atmosphere. However, Grenoble is Grenoble. I wouldn't recommend it. Also, it is a long bus ride in to town from the hostel.

I liked the stay very much! The only thing to criticise: The breakfast coffee was awful!

Was rather disapointed with the fact that we are the only two in a 4bed dorm and when we arrived everything stunk like urine :S

The hostel was nice, and pretty easy to get to. Rooms had their own bathrooms, which was unexpected and very nice! Overall, a good experience.

Very nice reception staff, some issues with door cards but could be resolved quickly.

We booked "2 Night in a room from 2 to 4 beds with shower and toilets + half board + ski pass, transportation, equipment at preferential rate (to book at the hostel)". Reception knew nothing about these preferential rates and denied that they offered them - was a waste of money! No lockers available, and the location is 30 mins from the train station.

Huge issues with the key cards for entering rooms...never knew when a key would work or not, made it impossible for people going out at night who couldn't rely on getting back into their room without someone from the inside waking up and letting them in. Breakfast was very poor, you would expect a french breakfast to include pain chocolat or a crossiant but there was nothing like this to be seen, it was more like a basic german breakfast but without any cheese or meats. Apart from these two things the hostel was perfect, but they just need to take some greater consideration for the overall experience of their guests.

I enjoyed being there, though for a single day visit. Julien was very nice and hospitable. My room made from Tunis was also very gentle and nice. I wish I could have his contact email, if you may pl send. One suggestion, I found it slightly difficult to find out the location in the previous night, a direction board near the Cafe or the bus stop would help first timers. I hope to visit the facility again, shortly, and recommend to my friends, Best wishes, Manohar drcmanohar@gmail.com
