8/10 Very good

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 isolées: les autres "pensionnaires" qui arrivent à 2h du matin réveillent immanquablement toute les chambres ! De plus, située à côté de lacuisine et d'un couloir où les gens vont fumer, c'est bruit et odeur de cigarettes... En famille: à fuir.
