Nice location in front of a suggestive small beach. There is a small food track there in the evening where you can eat some local food (oysters, galette, crepes) . It is a BASIC hostel so do not expect a luxury hotel (keep your towels as in all the hostels around the world). However, bedsheets and toilet are clean, breakfast included....moreover very kind staff, they phoned me, waited my arrival , and alerted me after leaving since I forgot some of my stuff in the bedroom. Recommended

“Scenic, but not too practical”
- The location is quite scenic, since you get to enjoy a small quasi-private beach, and there are several outdoor seats - Breakfast is included in the price and is alright in quality - Peaceful at night, although that might also be because my dorm room was only half full

“Unanimously the low light of our whole entire France trip. Would pay more next time for a better accommodation as we “lo”
Proximity to beach- but it was a launching beach, so full of cars and boats. A very simple breakfast included- cheese, bread, cereal, bit of fruit and yoghurt. Although hostels- all we saw were middle aged people!!

Old facilities, the rooms are lacking any personal touch and it's badly located to the downtown if you need to use the public transport.

They canceled my booking (without my consent) due to party. It was officially stated during the phone call. More over they asked me to cancel the reservation because they cannot do it?! Also on booking this place is named as a hotel but during the phone they told me that it is a hostel.

“Will never come back and will not recommend.”
The most uncomfortable place I have ever been. Price is too high for such conditions! Room is poor. They are not giving the towels! Very bad smell in bath room. Breakfast - poor. Everything was finished too early. Was feeling like in 50 years ago! One plus - the view outside. Nothing more.
