The staff is not very welcoming, very impersonal place, the atmosphere is not friendly, the average organization (problems with reservations). The kitchen is practical but the food is stolen from the fridges, and the other travelers do not do their dishes: there is no surveillance when it comes to the manners of the guests. It's closer to a hotel than a real hostel.
I am happy about the fact that the hostel is close to central Station.
The more I go, the more disappointed I am. I found the staff to be very unfriendly, the room smelled and was dirty.
By reserving a dormitory for 6 women on the aubergedejeunesse website, I did not expect to end up in a mixed dormitory with 7 noisy and stinky men. I paid 30 euros a night to be bothered by German teenagers on school trips (those who believe that Germans are respectful, go to an A&O hostel), and to be spied on leaving the shower by the men who shared my dormitory. Fights between several of them for a Muslim prayer performed in the middle of the dormitory, pestilential smell, dormitory toilets that have become unusable, windows that do not open to evacuate the smell (window overlooking a car park)... As As a young solo traveler, I can tell you that I didn't feel safe, so I ended up moving my stuff and going to sleep in a friend's room. And don't count on A&O to give you back the money you owed when you slept 10 nights in a room that was worth after checking 15€ less than the one you paid for! Tips: breakfast is chargeable, but no one checked at the entrance to the room;). And avoid the pizzas and other snacks offered at the bar of the hostel
The Hostel is quite good, very new, very clean and also with bathrooms in the room
