I had a great stay at Auberge De Jeunesse, especially enjoying the clean and cozy female dorm. While the bathroom had a bit of a urine smell, the shower and water pressure were great, and breakfast was a delight. The location is nice, but a bit far from the city center, which made late-night outings a little tricky.

The hostel is a bit far from the train station and not centrally located, requiring about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride to reach downtown. Some areas along the way were poorly lit, which made me feel slightly uneasy at times.

My stay at Auberge De Jeunesse in La Rochelle was pretty fantastic overall. The cozy 4-bed female dorm was like my own little retreat, though the bathroom had an odd smell. The breakfast spread was good with a variety of options, just make sure to arrive early to enjoy it all. The cutest part? A ginger cat named Glue roams the place, making the atmosphere even more inviting!
