Super central, not far from the train station or attractions. Friendly staff. Lovely small balcony overlooking the street.

Not enough bathrooms, only 2 toilets between 2 dorms of 8 people and 1 shower which was combined with one of the toilets. Didn’t have a duvet the first night so it was a bit chilly. Room was a bit cramped even though only half full.

I liked the nicely decorated seating area and the fact that the hostel was in walking distance from everything I wanted to see i.e. museums, le palais des papes, the river and also close to some supermarkets and bakeries. The rooms were tidy and there were power panels for each bed to charge devices.

There wasn’t any sort of social aspect to this hostel; the staff didn’t interact and it seemed like a lot of people came to the bar area who weren’t hostel residents. The kitchen was barely a kitchen, and there wasn’t a microwave for the first half of my trip. As a solo traveller on a budget this made eating really difficult. The facilities were cleaned each day I believe, and there were no problems with that, however it appeared that for the whole hostel there was only one woman cleaning the entire place? Bizarre. Overall though, this hostel is clean with okay bathrooms and in a really good location.

The location is perfect - close to the bus/train station and even closer to all the sights. The lobby&bar are comfortable. Friendly staff.

The bed/mattress was extremely uncomfortable. There were no sockets for the upper bunk beds. Unfortunately, there was only one source of light - the main room light, so no chance of light for reading or so without disturbing others. The sink in the adjacent bathroom was leaking.
