Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Acommodation was just fantastic. As a group of 3 friends on a budget trip, we needed cheap and clean place to sleep. We were surprised how modern and comfortable it was there. Personnel spoke English fluently and was extremely kind. Our room had its own bathroom. Location is basically in the city center and just next to the TGV station. We paid just 20 Euros per night per person and I haven't expected such a great hotel for that price. I would not be afraid of recommending this hotel for the family trip too.

    Vibrant, cool accommodation in a great location in the proximity of train station. From the outside you would not tell how the hostel looks inside - entering the facilities opens up a modern and hip decor. I really liked the bar/out-door sitting area and the lounge-corridor. A big bonus was having bunk beds in a style of capsule hotel where - nevertheless having to share the room - it was possible to have privacy still.
