All positive in every respect. I recommend it for families, I will come back to it.
Thank you to all the team for your friendly welcome. Ideal place for families to visit the region. Very good value for money, with the added bonus of the kindness of the staff.
A winning return to l’Escale, after 3 years… and the covid! Comfort is quite sufficient. More than just a youth hostel (private rooms). Excellent reception. Very quiet. Ideal for cycling around the region (very practical bike room). Very pleasant TV room.
Each stay at l’Escale enchants me: the location of the hostel is exceptionally interesting, one meets beautiful people because the placement of visitors during breakfast is well designed, the breakfast itself is very good, the premises are spacious … in short, we feel more than good!
Very pleasant and harmonious team at the service of the customers. Bravo I will come back with pleasure.
Good experience, a place where you feel good and well located, practical services such as luggage storage and a welcoming team.
