The showers were too cold and mouldy, and the motion sensors in the toilets were annoying because the lights would keep going off! However, the blankets were nice and the rooms were nice and heated at night.

This is more a campsite than anything else, the rooms have no lockers so the security is pretty bad, but you can wash your clothes. The breakfast is okay. Avignon is 5 min by foot, which is fine.

The staff were friendly & nice; it would have helped if they had more knowledge of the area/ city that they could share with us, so that we could plan our vacation better. For instance, one of the staff told us that the walk to the station (in order to catch our return train) was just 10 min. If we had followed this advise, we would have missed the train, because our walk took 25 min (we had luggage too).close

The accommation main door wasn't lock, someone can easy go inside the hostel. I suggest that the recepition should set up in the accommation not in the restaurant.

This hostel was within a shot walkin distance from the town and to be honest it wasn't a bad place to stay. The shower and toilet could do with a bit of work but i guess for the one night that i stayed in avignon (probably enough) is was a cheap and good place.

We really loved this hostel and had a great time. Great outdoor cafe area where we met lots of people. It wasn't in the centre of town but it was right by the river and it was an easy walk to the sights. Great breakfast but no lockers.

Great view but a little bit of a walk to the center of town...but it is a small town. The people were so nice and when I was leaving before breakfast the next morning she insisted on packing me some food to take with me. All and all I recomend it here.

A most unattractive hostel to stay in. Showers and toilets not clean. Noise and drunkenness of late comers. Very poor breakfast. No cooking facilities. Would recommend to anyone not to go there but to pay an extra 10 or 20 euro for a cheap hotel or guset house rather than experience this...

The staff in the reception with bad English skills and extremely bad attriude. Also, insects, dust and disgusting smell are expected in your room. The location are full of up stairs and down stairs. Besides, you cannot check in around 3:00pm and no storage for luggages. No hot water for bathroom.
