Pros +
- staff were really good and help full, just had a little challenge communicating in English. but overall exp. is really good.
- Very clean. Nice staff, packed me breakfast because I checked out at 5 am.
- Clean and basic hostel for one two nights. Fair breakfast for 7€. The woman at the reception was kind to call me as I was arriving late, and got me set up to get in when I arrived.
Cons -
- cleanliness of the en-suit was not good.
- A man stands at the outside door of the women's washroom at 5 am , feeling wired even though he did nothing to me.
- The man at the reception desk was rude and pretentious. He should not be working with foreigners. When I attempted to asked in french if they had a snack machine, he rudely said to me "Your french makes no sense, speak English". I realize my french isn't perfect, but I took french classes in 2 cities in france and have traveled in France for 4 months. No one was ever so rude. Fortunately, I have met so many nice and helpful french people and really like the French. He is just one of those stereotypical rude french people the world believes are really rude - not a good representation for your hostel. This experience did give me an unfavorable stay at your hostel which is reflected in the rating. I have to tell you it was very funny after he insisted I speak English, and I told him I wanted to get a candy bar. He had no idea what I was talking about and thought I was looking for restaurants. I then asked if he knew of a Tabac nearby where I could get one and he lectured me on Tabacs only selling tobacco and that I was wrong. Well, I have bought candy bars many times in Tabacs and I found one and bought one there. This man lacks etiquette, international cultural knowledge and class. If not for him, I would have given you a better rating.

The staff is what I would like to commemorate! There was an issue with booking and that caused a delay with the check in. I was able to spend time and enjoy the city but to my surprise the staff upgraded my booking to accommodate for the booking error. The staff made me feel not only welcome but also part of the community. I would have stayed longer if I knew how great the stay would be. If you stay in Cherbourg, this is the place you should stay. Also there was scooter parking right next to the hotel which is amazingly convenient. The guest kitchen area was well maintained and stocked for you to make many different types of meals and make yourself coffee. Everything was always clean whether I used one of the wash rooms in the middle of the night or during busy times in the day. I have been in France for a few weeks and I think this was my most enjoyed stay! Thank you to the staff that was so wonderful to me
Great little hostel with friendly and helpful staff. Secure bike room and good kitchen for cycle tourers and others. Great stop before or after a ferry. The city is very bike friendly.
I loved the garden out my window with a camellia blooming.
Internet connection awful.
Very nice welcome, friendly and helpful staff. I was also able to safely store my bicycle.
The thoughtful, friendly, welcoming staff members. Impeccably clean everywhere in the facility. Very nice breakfast. Clean, comfortable sleeping situation. Incredibly convenient location. I was wondering if I deserve this awesome accomodation.
it would have been better if they provide Wifi, but it is a tiny part. Everything else is absolutely perfect.
Very friendly staff. Speaks English. And I was able to check in much earlier. Only a few minutes to the port and the centre.
Breakfast true not very large choice. But well, fresh man sufficient.
Nice breakfast in morning for free
Room we stayed in had a steep stairs up to two beds, not great for young kids but fine for everyone else.
Great location, good facilities and helpful staff.
Soap in room and shower would be helpful.
The breakfast was superior to any I have seen of its kind. I would never have slept in when that petite dejeuner waited. The place was run like official youth hostels were once run when I was young, with a real mind to the needs of the guest, not the convenience or venal needs of staff. Staff here didn't take advantage of the disadvantaged. I'm already planning a return someday.
I can't think of an ill word to say.
The staff was friendly. They gave me a private room which was nice and comfortable. Everything was clean and worked well. The breakfast included in the price was nice.
Overall could have been a little cleaner
The lady that checked me in was so helpful: she gave me a bike cleaning kit to use, which was much appreciated!
I stayed there before, and the place is quite nice. This time I was in another room, but the facilities were the same. The room was as clean as it could be (the facilities are a bit dated, but it is a youth hostel, so that is kind of a standard :)). There's a small breakfast and a kitchen you can use to cook your own meals too. The hostel is also close to the city centre if you want to wander around. Overall, it is a nice stay in Cherbourg!
It is a bit dated, but in my eyes, this is not a negative as, overall, it's quite comfy!
very clean, with good facilities. nice staff
Staff is great, they are friendly, they have good level of English and they are always there to help
No hose in showers
Close to ferries and town.
Quite expensive, toilet on corridor, shower in room but difficult to operate. As youthostel had bunk beds and room was small.
I like really low price, great location, very friendly staff and very good breakfast included. There were also washbowl, mirror and shower in every room.
The shower doors are leaky so you need to be very careful about them, breakfast hours finish at 9 (on week days) what is a bit too early for me and wi-fi didn't work while my stay.
A cheap stay. Friendly reception.
It would have been more useful to have ensuite WC and shower down the hall, not the other way round. Shower cubicle damp. Lack of storage space. Only one chair. Breakfast very basic.
