Tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour 1 ou 2 nuits. Quelques places de parking disponibles derrière l'hostel.

Ambiance aseptisée, pas chaleureux.

Central to everything. I paid for what I sort of expected.

The beds need replacing seriously! Old spring bed, v v creaky at night. No good for me or room mates who have to listen to creaking every time u move.
