Foi o Hostel mais bonito e confortável que já fiquei na vida! Só à noite que estava quente e tivemos que dormir com as janelas abertas e aí tinha muita zoada no terraço. No mais, foi maravilhoso!

10/10 Exceptional

Emplacement parfait pour découvrir La Rochelle à pied ! Une hébergement bien constitué avec une chambre partagée spacieuse, des sanitaires éloignés pour éviter les nuisances sonores. Seul bémol, le dépôt du bagage à l’arrivée, avant l’horaire de prise de chambre, est payant. Montant faible (max 5€) mais dans le principe d’une auberge de jeunesse, c’est un service qui ne devrait pas être facturé.

Un hostel très correct aux bonnes prestations
Un dortoir de deux et quand même un espace appréciable pour se reposer et préparer ses bagages. Continuez à bien entretenir les locaux afin que tout reste propre et sans poussières car dans les chambres, avec le bois et les draps, il faut beaucoup aspirer car beaucoup de pluches peuvent se former. Le choix au petit-déjeuner est superbe et tout est appétissant.

Séjour en famille
En visite à la Rochelle, nous sommes venus en famille pour une nuit. Les plus : Proche centre ville et situé dans une ruelle plutôt calme. Très beau bâtiment renovée et super decoration. Prix abordable Pas de parking gratuit à proximité mais possibilite de se garer proche de l'etablissement tout de même à moindre coût Malgré que ce soit une auberge de jeunesse peu de nuisance vis à vis des clients (il y en a mais on le sait en choississant ce genre d'établissement). Les moins : Pas de buffet pour le petit dejeuner (chaque produit se paie à l'unité). Petit dejeuner inclus uniquement continental (1 demi baguette ou 1 croissant et 1 boissons chaude ou froide). Proximité avec l'accueil pas idéal pour une chambre familial (une chambre en retrait aurait évité d'être réveillé par un aspirateur (?!) à 3h du matin par exemple)

Bon Séjour
Cet hôtel est exactement ce que j'attendais. Il se trouve proche du centre, donc le déplacement n'est pas un problème, c'est à seulement quelques minutes à pied de La Grosse Horloge. L’heure du Check-in est à 15h donc c’est pas trop tard comme dans des autres hôtels, et ça permet d’y arriver et après aller se promener dans la ville. Les toilettes et les douches sont propres et toujours disponibles, malheureusement la nuit il faisait un peu chaud. Les chambres sont propres également, et le service est très bon, les réceptionnistes sont gentilles. Le lit était confortable. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de place pour ranger la valise pour ceux qui dorment dans le lit du haut. Les couvertures sont confortables. La réception est agréable, j'y ai pris le petit-déjeuner et c'était bon.
