My money was stolen. Someone opened my locker and went through my stuff while I was taking a shower. Informed the owner and wasn’t helpful at all. Obviously no responsibility by owner.

Auberge de jeunesse

C'est une auberge de jeunesse. Très chère payée pour ce que c'est! + de 100€la nuit. A conseiller pour les jeunes qui voyagent et qui réservent à l'avance très certainement, sinon reservé au dernier moment comme nous c'est hors de prix pour la prestation fournie.
