"My first time in a youth hostel (I am 62 and didn’t bother to translate the property name) My 13yo daughter was pleasantly surprised by the property and I hope it will encourage her to consider Youth Hostels in her future adventures (without me). Staff and other customers were friendly the accommodations were more that adequate although a little basic but for an adventurous younger traveller an excellent opportunity"

"Really nice family-run hotel, situated in a quiet side street near the main area of Cherbourg for shops, bars and restaurants, and about 30 minutes' walk from the ferry terminal. Quiet, clean and comfortable, with a delicious buffet breakfast comprising many home-made treats. A comfortable bed combined with the quiet environment and blackout curtains to ensure a good night's sleep. The bathroom was spacious, clean and well-equipped, adding to the impression of a thoughtfully furnished and decorated room. Many of the staff you will encounter are members of the extended family who run the hotel, and you will find them to be friendly and attentive but discreet. They were also happy to converse with me in French which was good practice for me! I actually liked everything about it and I think you probably will too..."
