We were put in a room three blocks away from Hostel Des Artists, in a building with no reception, one that anyone could walk into at any time!
Sure, the room was clean, though quite empty, like a hospital room. It did not resemble the pictures above at all! The bathroom was clean, but we shared it with the rest of the floor, which normally would be acceptable, but we paid 70 Euros for one night!! For that price you should get your own bathroom. We were told we could come and use what the Hostel Des Artists had to offer, but who wants to walk three blocks after a long day of touring the city? This place was way over-priced, and they lied about it's location.
