This place is not so obvious from the outside and once you get buzzed into the building you have to go upstairs and be buzzed into the door—make sure you go to the place marked "Chez Patrick" because there is another hostel upstairs. This is a small hostel within reasonable walking distance from the train station (10-15 minutes with heavy packs).
The rooms have 5 bunks and are very clean, cleaned daily in fact. The shower and toilets are in the hall, though there is a sink conveniently located in the room. The pot is right in the reception area which can be a bit disconcerting if you need to go in private—you got to get over that if you plan to hostel for long. The place is very small and run pleasantly and efficiently. They speak perfect English and will treat you fairly. Oh, and the showers were a dream, hot with great water pressure! There is a limited little kitchen, just a fridge, sink, table and coffee pot. There is no microwave and no stove or oven—but it's better than no kitchen at all if you are eating on a budget. There are loads of places to grab pizza, panini or Chinese, but a little place called "Le Petite Biche" about 5 minutes away (ask the reception for directions) is well worth it if you ever eat out. The reception is more than willing to give you directions and recommendations to help you get on your way and that helps when you are new in town.
There was a good vibe to this place. The people staying there were cool. Plus there is a wall full of pamphlets and info on other places to stay and internet services down the block in one direction, laundrymat in the other direction. The front desk is so cool in fact that they will wait up for you if you call in advance and let them know you are coming in late! The beach is about a 15-20 minute walk away and there are loads of old-town shops and stuff to see and it's all walkable.
