    Présence de punaise de lit !!!! Nous avons dû prendre la fuite vers 2h du matin lorsque nous nous sommes rendu compte qu’il y avait des punaises de lit partout dans les draps, Le gérant a refusé de nous rembourser la nuit et a trouvé des excuses. Pire expérience de notre vie, A fuir !!!!

    Horrendous, I came on a school trip! After the tiring 20 hour coach drive all I wanted was a good meal and sleep. We get to the “ restaurant “ they call it and what I see is dirty cutlery no matter which ones I take. Unacceptable! The rice was uncooked the brownie was like rock the burrito broke and became like sick when picked up! It was like dog shit. My whole group is so traumatised we all refused to eat the second dinner there and ate out for money instead of getting a free meal! I don’t know if I call this a hotel or a horror movie motel. In my room the blind was broken. So all the light was keeping all of us up till early hours. When we opened the one working there were military cars parked which we didn’t know about!Would not recommend for anyone or any animal who wants to stay here!don’t come I was scammed food was shocking , bed had bed bugs I’m it really not happy my friend came out with a rash from the bed. I don’t know if it’s just the French but the beds are not stable my friend fell off the top bunk and got a bad bruise! They also had a bar of soap covered in body hair from previous user although the thought was there the action was repelling and made me want to vomit when I heard about it! If I had to stay here again or sleep on the floor or the coach I wouldn’t stay! I WOULD RUN AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IT IS HELL !!! if I was able to give a 0 I would!!!

    Hi Quentin, Unfortunately I found that I could not respond to your response to my review and this was the only way. Firstly, I would like to thank you for your reassurance about the furniture and their safety. Secondly, I wanted to apologise for mistaking your fajita for a burrito as well as reassure you that I like vegetables it's just that those in the fajita didn't resemble vegetables. However I didn't see you mention anything about the uncooked rice which was the main problem in the dish. Considering how the fajita was burnt maybe you got the cooking times mixed up? Finally, I would like to thank you for taking your time to respond to my review, it's much appreciated. On the other hand, I recommend that you use more of that time to find cleaners for your hostel considering how the hygiene there is appalling. For example, we had a bar of soap covered in body hair from the previous user (I didn't see you mention anything about this in your response) and there were bed bugs in some rooms leading to everyone's discomfort. Thank you x

    ATTENTION AU PUNAISE DE LIT !!! A fuir !!!

  5. Possible Booking.com

    La chambre individuelle était dépourvue de savon, de serviette, et la douche était sans lumière. À cela s’ajoutaient la présence de punaises de lit et une couverture manifestement sale. Honnêtement, c’est totalement inacceptable.

    L'hostel est top en soit pas grand chose a dire hormi peut-etre les nuisances sonores des trains la nuit. Malheuresement je dois mettre en garde contre les punaises de lits, j'ai été piqué un peu partout sur le corps. Chambre 505 punaises de lit.

    No me gustó nada. Sábanas con pelos, mancha marrón en la funda nórdica, almohadas como papel de fumar, no hay amenities ni toallas..en el desayuno es buffet limitado en bollería. El peor café que nos hemos bebido...no reponen productos... Nos dio asco dormir ahí y luego he tenido picaduras de chinches. Colchón durísimo...en fin...paramos para hacer noche en nuestro viaje en coche hacia España y no pudimos elegir peor.

    Nous étions dans une chambre tribu à 4 lits L un d entre nous a été dévoré par des insectes, vraisemblablement des punaises de lit. Dur dur

    C’était la première fois que je séjournais dans une auberge de jeunesse de ma vie et j’ai 52 ans ! Malheureusement je n’en garderais pas un bon souvenir dans la mesure où je me suis fait piquée par des punaises de lit des ma première nuit. Le lendemain je me suis présentée à l’accueil pour leur faire part du problème et ils m’ont changés de chambre mais j’étais très angoissée à l’idée de rendormir une deuxième nuit et j’ai conservé des photos. Le personnel a été très à l’écoute ainsi que la directrice de l’établissement qui doit me rembourser les 2 nuits pour le préjudice subit et le dédommagement.

    Des enfants en voyages scolaire ont été piqués par des punaises de lit . le mien a le corps rempli de piqûres . Toujours obligé de dormir fenêtre ouverte à cause du chauffage défectueux et ça depuis plusieurs mois au vu des commentaires donc bruit de la gare les enfants torse nue à cause de la chaleur + l'insalubrité de l'endroit= piqûres de punaises et puces . Je déconseille ses lieux, autant aller à l'hôtel première classe d'à côté .

Vibe Analysis

Auberge de Jeunesse HI Clermont-Ferrand is a simple, budget base with a central-ish Clermont-Ferrand setup, close to the station area and with bus, tram, shops, the hospital, and paid parking nearby. Reception can be friendly and helpful, and the ground floor has a small bar-style spot for a drink or snack. The strongest practical upside is the shared setup: a kitchen, reading corner, TV/lounge areas, board games, lifts, and dorm beds that may have privacy curtains. Some rooms are large, some have shower and toilet inside, and private rooms may be available, so it can work for a cheap stopover or a short city visit. This is not a polished hostel. Cleanliness can swing hard, especially in bathrooms and the shared kitchen, and comfort is basic. The atmosphere seems mixed rather than reliably social: there can be friendly moments and casual encounters, but also long-term residents, noisy roommates, and a less classic backpacker feel.
