The only thing I think I could complain about is that there is no common room to meet people. So if you are looking to make friends you can squish in the kitchen but thats it.

Book summer accommodation in Nice early DO NOT STAY HERE. Terrible hostel - I cannot believe it is still operating! One toilet for about 10 rooms, dirty bathrooms with showers that didn't drain so would flood the bathroom and then the room! Staff had no personality, rooms were tiny and no...

the mould in the showers is mortifying and the only privacy you have is a curtain between you and 6 random strangers

The worst of 30 hotels we visited on vacations. Dirty rooms, bad aspect, very rude people on desk and too much noise. The private bathroom was only the shower. Don't book here!!!

we had to pay for a towel, it was filthy. there was nowhere to lock belongings. the reception staff wern't very friendly. no kitchen. no laundry. i highly recomend staying somewhere else if you can find it. it was just a bed.

If you just want a place to sleep and nothing else, this is the ideal place.

Only there for one night, but a really nice place. Quite small and compact inside but the location of the hostel itself was brilliant, right near the train station and almost touching the main highstreet.

Will not come again, it's very "basic". Compared to other hostels, it offers you less for more money. Rooms are small and dark, there is no kitchen. Sheets cost 1€

Don't judge a book by its cover - this hostel is much better than it looks from the outside. The location's great for the train station and its just off one of the main streets in Nice (although the directions from the hostel send you round the back!!)No communal areas though so you only really...

the so called "female dorms" didnt exist for me. i book into one and ended up in a mixed dorm. which was a bit concerning with a shower with only a curtain and no door.

we booked for one night and the hotel was able to accomodate us for the next 5 nights. they were really helpful with where to go and what to see. they are in a good location to the train station which is good if you are going to see the coast. only downside was our rooms were so hot. no...

There is potential in this hostel, yet there is no fridge available, no aircon, rooms are very small, no common room, no internet, no kitchen; a very sparse hostel ;) I'd expect a smaller price for such conditions! Overall - average.close

The shower was leaking so there was a wet towel on the floor. No communal areas. The staff where efficient but not super friendly. The location is good for a night, but the place doesn't seem dedicated to fostering that special backpacker vibe. Security is good.

The receptionist was terreble!, that's one thing, then we were in a duble bedroom with a bathroom where the bathroom (together with a WC) had not a door! Very durty room. Terrible.

Not the greatest hostel around, things seem to be not working or not fixed correctly. They charge for sheets and the neighbourhood is dodgy to say the least

Stephans kitchen is off limits. When we left pizza boxes in his bin he said and I quote 'You left pizza boxes in my kitchen .. do I sh!t in your bed.' A bit extreme I felt especially comming from the guy running the place.

pretty basic. the rooms only had a curtain to separate the ensuite shower room and dorm. the shower constantly flooded the floor as well. not enough toilets and one of them would always overflow when you flushed it. if you're staying there for one night it is adequate. good location though!

No air conditioning is available in the hostel so expect those stuffy nights to be pretty painful if you are a light sleeper. The rooms are cheerful if unspectactular.

There were two toilets for all twelve rooms of six people to share. The tiles on all the floors were cracked and the shower would barely drain. It doesn't look like they do anything to keep the place running

It's ok. Topsheets and towels for rent. Passport or 30 euro deposit required for key. It's in an apartment building, across form a cathedral, near the train station. Rooms are cramped, and there are only 2 toilets for about 20 people, but I would stay there again.

Only really stayed here to sleep, but that curfew is serious! We amazing race style ran to the hostel from the train station to make it in 2 mins. Ensuite bathrooms dont have a door so depending on who your roommates are could be a little sketchy.

The rooms were cramped and there was no locker for our rucksacks. The curtain between the room and the shower area made it impossible to shower without waking everyone in our room up. The staff were very helpful and friendly but they were really the only good thing about the place.
