Comments: Nice little hostel, not the big \'Wombat\' style facility but nice and cosy. Gentlemen who runs the place is very helpful and friendly. No lockers in the 4 bed dorm I was in, but keys for each room.

Comments: Hostel near train station, but quite a walk from seaside. No cooking, just a fridge, kettle and microwave but no cooking utensils , 1 cup, 1bowl, etc so pretty hopeless, no common area either to chat to other travellers and unfortunately I am having problems getting 1 nights accommodation back from patrick who took it maually out of my bank account without my acceptance, So beware if he does not swipe the card [ said the machine was 'broken'] and wants to load the numbers in manually...this way he can do it again and again even though he has no signature. So this has left a very sour taste in my mouth and also with my room mates! Very disappointing, so beware

Comments: Had a pretty good location and the rooms were clean. But there is a lockout from 10am til 2pm which is really irritating. also there is no alcohol allowed so you have to be sneaky if you want to have predrinks before you go out.

Comments: this was a nice hostel, but there were a few problems. the lock out sucks, they basically kick you out of bed at 11am which is not fun if you have had a big night. also the no alcohol policy, while not observed, is stupid. were backpackers.. we drink. still comfy bed and the owner will try to help you when ever you can find him. you will have to make your own fun though as there is no common room.

Comments: a good hostel overall, would stay here again. especially cos hostels in france are generally toilet. Patrick is great and very very helpful, and the whole place is clean. Problems are: no wifi, no lockers (but a very secure place) and you cant leave your bags in the hostel the day you are checking out.

Comments: No social scene and the hostel didn\'t have lockers. Other than that, a decent distance from all of the important things in Nice and Patrick was helpful.

Comments: Great location, very clean. 15 minute walk to the old town. Secure as you need to get through 3 doors to reach your room. Patrick is a great host. Unless you need a full kitchen to cook, this is a great hostel. Not a party hostel so a great place to catch up on sleep after a busy day sight seeing around Nice.

Comments: It probably is the best located hostel in hotel, 5 mins from the railway station and 10 mins from the beach. The owner Patrick is an awesome guy, his recommendations are great. And dont miss bringing up French politics with him, you\'ll have fun...

Comments: The hostel is good. Kitchen is small but gets the basic things(only with Micro-wave). The rate is a bit expensive as there's no breakfast. However, the hot shower & cheap restaurants around can compensate a bit. Sadly, there's no room for luggage storage but Patrick is very nice and can rearrange with you.

Comments: The owner was very welcoming and nice! The place was clean and if you wanted to use a locker for your passport etc, you just had to ask him. The location is great, you can easily walk everywhere and it's close to the railway station. A good place to stay when in Nice!

Comments: Patrick is very friendly and welcoming, the rooms are bunk beds with a sink. There is only one toilet for each sex in the whole place, but it is wuite small and this never seemed an issue. We really enjoyed our time in Nice and had very firendly room mates every night. Go to Wayne's bar in the old town, dancing on tables very fun!

Comments: no check out counter, I was leaving in a rush and had to leave my key on a side table. Very clean and early rises and no noise at night and no drinking. Which is good but a bit boring if you wanna have some fun. The hostel next door is cheaper and looks more fun. they have suites in the same building and run by two old ladies that run a restaurant with prices set fromt the 70's. amazing

Comments: Just a bed and nothing else. Kitchen is there, but only for eating, not cooking. Staff was not friendly, room was quite small. Location is about 20 minutes from the boardwalk, but right off of a main street and only 5 minutes to the train station. I´d try to stay somewhere cheaper, you´ll probably get the same thing.
