We had a great time and fully enjoyed the HUGE kitchen assortment of pots and pans and utensils. The bathrooms are shiny new and impeccable conditions. We stayed in a basement room with 6 beds and the air got a bit stuffy by the morning, but we kept the window a bit open to freshen up. We enjoyed the free mini golf on the water nearby, the public pool and the few restaurants in town to try langoustine. We definitely recommend it.

Very clean property. We were a little skeptical to stay in hostel, ie sharing bathroom and kitchen, but it went very well. There are enough bathrooms and the kitchen is big enough for multiple families to share. Staff is friendly and accommodating.
