La Maison Rouge - Backpacker Hostel

"They have a very nice terrace where you can drink (alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages) and eat delicious little dishes. The inside cafe is also cozy and calm."

"Cheap and clean and mostly quiet at night but NOT SUITABLE IF YOUR HERE FOR THE NIGHTLIFE or are a late sleeper/night owl for any reason, people start clattering about and being very noisy at 8am, the cleaner comes in at 9:30am so if your a late sleeper as I am don't expect to sleep past 8:30am on a quiet day. Also CHECK THE CODE hasn't been changed every day your here, I got locked out one night as they changed the code and failed to tell me and had to yell up at an open window and luckily someone heard me and let me in... They did apologise and mistakes happen but I almost had to spend the night outside. Other than these annoyances it's a fairly good hostel, there isn't a bar on site as per the listing and not really a very social place either, the rest of the city is very friendly however. It's clean and functional. The place is mostly unstaffed only opening between 6pm and 9pm but there is showers, kitchen and laundry services and I did sleep thru the night all 3 nights I stayed so got at least 7 hours."

"4 operating hours. You MUST check in between 8:30-10:00 am or 6:00-9:00 pm. I was stranded on the street in a dangerous area because they never sent me notice that my confirmed check-in time was outside of their hours. I didn't end up staying here. The only reason I am giving two stars is because they gave me a refund for my two nights."

"I stayed at this hostel for three nights in august 2017. The facilities are very good, beds are comfortable with a nice sense of personal space that you don't often find in hostels. The kitchen is really nice and open and the staff are really friendly. Thursday nights they host an open-air cinema with food and drinks - a really nice and fun event, lots of people come to watch in the front courtyard."

"Excellent accommodation for staying in St etiene, affordable and cosy. Great facilities for washing yourself and clothing if required. They provide breakfast for an extra 4 euro. In your sleeping area there is ample room to spread out, charge electrical equipment and secure lockers for valuables just bring your own lock. Also secure lock up under the bunkhouse in their garage for my bike, what more could I wish for. Also provide coffee and games night, just check availability. Staff are extremely helpful, thanks guys you made my second night in the city so much better than my first."
