Villa Saint Exupery Beach Hostel

  : Central location. Spacious common dining area.
  : Internet was spotty in the room, and i could not get any mobile reception. The walls seem rather thin, unfortunately we could hear our inconsiderate noisy next door neighbours chatting in the hallway and slamming their doors throughout the night. There was no hook or bar to hang towels/clothes in the dorm room. No hand soap in the toilet :(

  : location is very nice in the city center, they have a storage room with lockers where you can leave your bag after the checkout, and you can also use bathrooms and shower
  : very late check in 3pm and early checkout at 10, they charge 15 euros for a late check in till 1 pm?? i mean the night is 15 euros? the receptionist is very very very cold, i went to the front desk, and i no one looked at me even after saying hi. the fron desk lady told me "ah it is still 5 minutes till 3pm" that at 3 pm she said "can you wait 10 minutes till the rooms are ready" , it is better to say rooms will be ready in 10 minutes instead. i ask a question and receptionist do not event look at me when answering. Very very very rude. no bins in the room, very backed room, with bad air circulation, i do not know how it is possible by law to pack all these people in small room. of course no soap or towels. public bathroom is dirty and smell, and beds were itchy. Also the shared public space closes at midnight and during the day it is always dirty with food and rubbish.

  : The private room was comfortable. The bathroom was big with a nice counter. But no soap in the dispenser, and the shower is clogged so one jet sprays you directly in the face.
  : A mess. I'm STILL struggling with this hostel. I had to book very last minute after a huge/violent fight with my now ex. So arriving and checking in was all a whirlwind. I dont know if they boast 24/7 reception, but apparently at night security checks you in. He didn't speak english well but guided me to my room. The next day I realized I didn't have my passport and went down to reception to ask for it. She gave it back and that was it. More on that later.So the biggest issue is I was told that they have experience with people shipping their bags, and that I could leave mine in the luggage room so my shipping company can pick them up. The first day missed was my fault. I didn't bring my bags down in time, but the receptionist was super rude about it and treated me like I was an idiot. The next two days.......Someone isn't being truthful. DHL tells me the bags weren't there both days. The hostel claims they are and even says DHL hasn't even come there. but I receive an email with the exact time every time the collection is missed.They barely answer the phone, and when they do they're not very helpful except one woman I talked to. The guy with the maybe Australian (??) accent starts telling me that my bill was never paid and starts asking me to give him my card number over the phone. They weren't supposed to return my passport yet. Their communication was all wrong. So, in the midst of them fumbling my bag situation, he wants to collect money from me because his staff messed up. I'm fine paying, but not until my bags are handed over as requested! He eventually tells me he WISHES they'd be picked up because he's sick of my phone calls. God forbid I need my BELONGINGS? As in literally everything I own after escaping an abuse partner. How difficult of me.
