The staff is very nice. The location is excellent, a short walk to the pedestrian street with nice restaurants and the harbor. The price is unbeatable. You can feel and hear the individual springs in the mattress when you lie down. The walls are very thin and you can hear everyone's whereabouts disturbing one's sleep.

A fuir en famille

Accueil sympathique, mais les chambres ne sont pas du tout isolĆ©es: les autres "pensionnaires" qui arrivent Ć  2h du matin rĆ©veillent immanquablement toute les chambres ! De plus, situĆ©e Ć  cĆ“tĆ© de lacuisine et d'un couloir oĆ¹ les gens vont fumer, c'est bruit et odeur de cigarettes... En famille: Ć  fuir.
