  : breakfast very good, everything fresh, meats, fruit, bread, a large selection of food, you can go out on the terrace, I recommend
  : The beds in the rooms are not comfortable, the beds creak every time you move, but the sheets are clean and fresh.

  : Peaceful location in the countryside along a canal, nearby to the highway. Simple, no decoration but functional, like a budget motel. All room are at ground-floor (no stair or lift needed) and accessible to PRM (spatious corridor, spatious private bathroom). Alternative food options are offered on request for breakfast to people intolerant to gluten (special bread) or lactose (soja milk).
  : The hostel has no double bedrooms but they offers this type of accomodation on booking.com. In reality they sell a 4-bed dorm as a double (twin) room where two beds are fixed folded, thus you pay more expensive for the same confort of a dorm. Moreover all the dorms are very budget accomodations, with no decoration and basic amenities (e.g. no chairs but stools some of which fixed folding, small fixed folding table for 2 people, no closed cabinets but very small lock boxes for valuables, no shelf in the bathroom and shower without base raised from the floor...): in particular the beds are not confortable (the mattresses and ears are plastic-wrapped so they heat up easily and the matresses are hard). Finally the windows of the rooms facing the street/parking do not have a veil, so you have to close the curtain and turn on the light in broad daylight to have privacy. Thus even the dorm remains expensive for the basic/poor confort it offers. The breakfast is mandatorily included in the price of the room, even if you don't/cannot eat it. The kitchen is not at disposl of guests. Location may seem isolated without car but there is a bus connection to the nearest village and self-service bar on-site with terrasse on the canal. The hostel tends to host to big groups and sport clubs which may be noisy and take most of the bar/terrasse place.
