Description

At the heart of a town with a population of 100,000, the Youth Hostel is an old French Navy building that has undergone a complete refurbishment.
Half-way between England and the Channel Islands, Cherbourg is a deep water harbour. It is quite unique being one of the largest in the world, having been mostly man-made and boasting a 2km long fortified sea wall.
As well as a maritime town, Cherbourg is a town of gardens full of exotic plants and precious unusual ornments. Situated at 500m from the pedestrian centre, the Town Hall and in the vecinity of the sailing harbour and the "City of the Sea", this beautifully designed hostel is the ideal base for those wishing to explore the whole of the city.

This is a friendly and helpful hostel. It is very neat and clean, in fact, we are going back there again this year. The only thing is, there was never enough bread left for us in the mornings.
