Auberge du Guintzet

Cosy and clean. Exactly what you would want from a hostel

It’s somewhat out of town and quite close to a highway

Good and clean rooms, very close to the 6 bus line, which puts you in the city centre within 10 mins.

No key for my room (either broken or missing), and make sure you don't arrive before check-in time at 14h. You will be made to wait/return later, which, ok, check-in is 14h, but there's no storage for your bags either. So if you arrive in the city earlier, don't bother going to the Auberge before 14h. Find something to do while carrying your bags.

We were given the whole dorm for the 4 of us.

Need to take bus to the property on your own. Lack of communication between the staff and guests. Queries were not answered.

The bed was comfortable enough, warm blanket, clean bedsheets. Electricity socket at the sleeping space, a little shelf behind the head space.

The shower didn’t work properly, it had two shower heads: top and bottom one. Both were leaking water all around, was inconvenient to catch the flow of water. There was no toilet paper in the toilets. No hair dryer available. Though the stuff offered me to come to another floor (ground floor) where I might use it. Where also plenty of people passing by next to the entrance of the building. Bedrooms and showers are on the second floor. I needed to ask few times for a hot water to make myself a warm infusion in my room, and I heard few explanations why they don’t have hot water and that I can buy tea or coffee at the bar. On my further request and explanation the lady from the bar agreed to give me hot water in my thermocup from the bar coffeemachine. The wall in the bedroom behind table had a huge coffee flaws, like a cup of coffee was thrown on the wall, it didn’t give a good general feeling. Also in the room were two bunk beds and on one of them there were few hook hangers for clothes, on other one none. It felt like I didn’t have any space to hang my jacket or blouse or anything towel. Location is a last stop of a bus, also I was reaching the place after 17 o’clock, it was already dark and was quite difficult to find as it was a bit deeper away from the street than the map showed.
