Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Before booking this hostel I had a really terrible night. I felt very bad but thanks to Mösyö Philipa I felt better and safe. He was very helpful. I spent the whole day in my room because I didn't want to go anywhere but only sleep and rest. So I cannot say more about the facility but the staff were all smiling and helpful. Thank you so much Mösyö Philipa.

    Very great location and the hotel is nicely decorated. The staff is great! They have a superbe rooftop to have drinks at night. We were happy to be able to park our car 5m away and the hotel offers a 50% discount. It was only 15€ for 24h (with the discount) so very affordable and cheaper than parking in Paris where we are from.
