“Very good value, clean family room.”
It’s a good hostel and very well run. We weren’t expecting fabulous facilities and we were not disappointed. Everything thing is clean, however, and both staff and other customers were friendly and helpful.

“Relaxing and friendly”
Like my memory of youth hostels when I was a child. A feeling of community and a relaxed holiday vibe in a space right next to centre of town. We only stayed one night - brought our own towels and had a quiet sleep. My kids who have only known paces like Premier Inn were horrified at first at sharing communal showers and wash facilities but admitted by the time we left it was a cool place.

“Two big issues: cramped dorm rooms and no Wi-fi”
- Spacious and quiet common areas - Relatively close to the city's main attractions - Staff did their best to explain to me how things work

“Would choose to stay here again if in the area :-)”
The “feel of the place”, the staff, history, location to the centre of Bayeux and it was good value for the family room for the five of us.

“Great place near to town centre”
Lovely atmospheric building. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to find your way around and meet others staying. Fantastic breakfast. Easy walking distance to town centre. Our room had ensuite facilities and a separate room for the double bed from the single beds. Also good outdoor space for our son to run off some energy!
