France“Booked a bed in a dorm of 6 and to my pleasure it was only me and another girl. Super nice and clean, the staff was also really nice. Only thing would be that it was a bit noisy as construction was prob going on next to our room. Would recommend !” - George New Zealand“Loved how it was 2 minute walk around the corner from town centre”
