Simple et efficace
Sejour simple et efficace dans cette auberge de jeunesse. Tout est propre et le service est très agréable. Commodités sur place avec un bar accessible etc. Chambres équipées du minimum mais ça nous suffit (pas de serviettes de toilettes incluses mais 1.5 euros en sus). Pas très bien isolé donc peut être bruyant en fonction de vos voisins
Très bien placé car places tout le long dans la rue (payante sauf le soir et dimanche) et à 30 min à pied du centre ville.

Boa experiência. Recomendo. Bom custo benefício. Ponto negativo. Toalhas tem pagar. Acho que isso deveria fazer parte do custo.

Bon auberge
Bon emplacement à 20 minutes du centre à pied. Confort acceptable mais on a eu un problème avec les sanitaires, apparemment les déchets des toilettes en commun à côté de notre chambre ressortaient au niveau de nos sanitaires privatives.
Petit déjeuner très correct pour un auberge.
Je trouve le rapport qualité-prix un peu élevé
