09 Apr 2012 Candance, USA
The hostel overall was great!!! The best hostel I've been to so far! I met so many new people. It was very easy to socialize with other travellers there. And the staff was extremely helpful. I am the type of person that asks a lot of questions to help plan my vacation, and the staff was extremely nice to me. The only downfall was that I was not able to kayak to the Pont du Gard with the company the hostel has a partnership with. The hostel has to call the same day you want to kayak, and unfortunately, I wanted to go on a Saturday. By the time the kayak company opened, it was too late for me to get to the location, because the buses do not run very often on the weekends. I was very disappointed about this, but I had a great stay nonetheless.
Hostel response:
Thank you Candance. When you arrived, it was the 1st working day of the year for all the companies of kayak working at the Pont du Gard. -

01 Feb 2012 Neale, Canada
Beautiful hostel. Clean, comfortable rooms in a large garden area. Breakfast is sufficient and there are occasionally treats like a delicious homemade pudding one morning. Staff are all very friendly and seem pleased to have visitors. The one problem with the hostel is it is up a large hill, and as a bicycle tourist with full panniers I found it difficult to make it up. But the hostel was definitely worth the effort involved in climbing the hill.
Hostel response:
Thank you Neale. And for people without bicycle, tou ca comewith the bus i or the lowcoast company of taxi(you have to book on www.easytake.fr) 8 € for 4 people from the station. -

The price is the lowest in the region. But it's quite far from the center. Also, there is a 10 min walk between the bus stop and the hostel. Furthermore, the bus is quite rare...(every 30mins). If you don't have a lot of baggages and you are capable of walking, I think it's quite nice. If not, do not go to this hostel.
Hostel response:
Hey Lian : you have a bus every 10 minuts the week. You can also take a taxi with the low coast company www.esaytake.fr for 8 € (2 € per person if you are for). :) -

Great hostel and facilities - the hill up from the bus stop is good exercise!
Hostel response:
Thank you. If you don't need exercise, there is a new low coast taxi company very cheap : www.easytake.fr -
27 Oct 2011 David, Australia
self catering kitchen was very dirty and disorganised
Hostel response:
Hey David. The kitchen is cleaned twice daily and entirely disinfected every thursday. The kitchen has 6 electric hotplates, 1 micro-wave, an oven/grill, a new fridge e.t.c.........
Unfortunately not everyone respects the hygiene and property of the kitchen. This must have been the case on that day. However you must understand that we cannot be constantly checking up on people and making sure that they clean their dishes, arrange their pots and pans....... -

Very nice Hostel, very nice location. Lots to do in town. Make sure to buy the discounted museaum pass with printed route map/attactions. This pass will also get you into other museums not on listed on the attractions (like Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nîmes).
Hostel response:
Thank you. The staff -

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. The setting is idyllic, the staff very friendly and helpful and there's a great sense of community. The Auberge is a traveller's paradise :)
Hostel response:
Thank you Elisabeth -
07 Oct 2011 David, England & Wales
It's a trek up from the nearest bus stop, especially on a hot day. Peaceful, quiet.
Hostel response:
David : there is now a low coast company of taxi. 8 € from the station to the youth hostel. See on www.hihostels.com -
05 Oct 2011 James, Canada
Diffcult to find: directions need to say: "Autobus I: Stad Ales (the letter I) from Gard Nimes. Exit station, turn left, same side of street is bus stop." Was once I figured that out, finding it was fine, with the assistance of several friendly French people.
Hostel response:
James, you have just to follow the signs "auberge de jeunesse". An other way to come with the low coast company www.esytake.fr : 8 € (4 places) from the station. :)
