    Would recommend to others. Not immediately accessible to the center of town, but near the artsy district. My one negative comment on the hostel was that I couldn't get my room until 5 PM because the place was closed from 12-5.

    Locating the hostel was a problem as the english directions are WRONG, it took me an hour to find it. Definately look up the address on a map before setting off with their directions they email you. Other than that, no problems. It was nice to get a private for so cheap and the breakfast was great, they even have an espresso machine! The showers need some work, there are some logistical problems with water drainage. They leave a squeegy to push the water down the drain after you shower... it's sort of funny really.

    I found the best showers, most of the staff speak fair English but still took the time to support my trying to speak French. I have stayed here before and shall do so again.
