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.

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!
