  : New and modern hostel in a quiet part of the city. My room overlooked the garden and I was fortunate enough to have it to my self the whole time I was there. All the staff spoke English.
  : I feel that if the room had been full it might have been a bit crowded.

  : I liked lots and lots of things. - Excellent locality. It was good to experience into the 'real' Amiens that people actually live in. It turns out to be a lovely 'liveable' city. - It is so helpful to have really good food shops so close by - I made good use of the supermarket and the boulangerie - It is very quick and easy to walk into the centre of the city. It was fun and interesting to zig-zag through the back streets, finding new ways to walk in and out of the central city each time. - The frequent No 2 Red Line bus makes getting to and from the station quick and easy. - The building is excellent. Interesting architecture. Perfect for use as a hostel. Lots of big public spaces. Big, wide corridors. Huge kitchen and dining room with lots of different places to sit, eat and talk. Everything very clean and super fresh. - My room was on the third floor, garden side. Huge window, lots of light, sunny in the afternoons.I really enjoyed being so high up, looking out into the green of the trees - in fact it felt a bit like being a treehouse. - Everything worked in the room and in the kitchen. - V good shower - straight forward to operate. Not at all claustrophobic - the high ceiling of the bathroom smeans there is space above the shower cubicle. Lots of hot water. - The bedroom and public rooms were a comfortable temperature. - It was so good to have proper windows that opened - being able to get fresh air was a real bonus. - Good to have so many green plants in the public spaces. - The generosity of the space and facilities of the hostel encourage a nice atmosphere amongst guests. - Everything was very clean and super fresh. - There is always someone at the reception desk. Staff are kind, friendly and helpful
  : What I didn't like: - the bed was very uncomfortable, for me, because I like a much softer bed - for me the mattress was too thin. - it would be good to have two pillows as standard. There was an extra pillow available from reception for my last night, but not before. Having the second pillow made a huge difference to getting a good night's sleep and being able to read comfortably in bed. - good lighting, including a good bedside light - not having a safe box in the room. I was worried about the security of my passport, money, computer. I should have asked if there were safe boxes at reception - if there were that would be a good solution. - some of the people 'hanging around' the streets between the hostel and the main road feel a little bit dodgy. Though basically they do totally any one passing by.

  : 24-hour check-in, lean bed linen
  : Horrible service. Very bad breakfast. Better to have some food with you and use the kitchen than pay for breakfast. The staff doesn't speak English. The lift wasn't working. There was no towel in the room! Can't recommend.
