Staying here is just like horror movie , but it’s not movie…it’s real!!! So true and disgusting!! Be careful everybody One of the dirtiest hostel I have ever stayed Lotta bed bugs crawled to me and attacked me at night When I reported this to the staff they used the Ultra light to check and said there wasn’t any bugs Finally the bed bugs army were found in my Asian roommate’s bed so I was so sorry for him because he has slept with bugs for many days…. The toilet is super broken and dirty Living room and kitchen are so old and dirty The location is very nice and close to the center station That’s the only advantage of this hostel so I would have never stayed here anymore !

J’ai passé quatre nuits dans cette auberge de jeunesse et la veille de mon départ, j’ai trouvé une punaise de lit dans la chambre. Quand je suis allée en parler à l’accueil, on m’a dit que la responsable serait prévenue mais personne n’a pensé à venir vérifier la chambre et j’ai du dormir dans le même lit le soir même. Ça a été vraiment une source de stress pour moi en rentrant, j’ai fait attention à tout pendant quelques jours. La propreté sur place laisse d’ailleurs à désirer, autant dans la salle de bain que dans la chambre et les toilettes. Les indications pour trouver l’auberge ne sont pas terribles non plus. En revanche, j’ai apprécié la location de vélo peu onéreuse et l’emplacement de l’auberge, ainsi que le bar extérieur. Je ne retournerai pas dans cette auberge lors de mes futurs déplacements.

El Hotel tiene dos edificios: el edificio de la recepcion (1) y otro edificio detras (2). Cuando llegue me asignaron al edificio de atras, en el segundo piso (primero para ellos). Alli dormi una noche, y me desperte al dia siguiente con los brazos y los pies y pantorrillas LLENOS de picadas de pulga (bed bugs), lo cual me causo una alergia terrible que me llevo a la farmacia a buscar medicinas para aliviar el dolor. La reaccion de las personas en la recepcion fue ninguna hasta que exigi hablar con la duena y me puse un poco molesta. En ese momento me devolvieron lo que habia pagado por una noche (me quede tres) y eso fue todo. Creo que ese hotel tiene mala administracion, todos los que trabajan son voluntarios que vienen por unas pocas semanas, me da la impresion que no tiene una administracion estable y profesional. La persona que puede tomar decisiones no esta alli constantemente y no es facil conectarse con ella. Las habitaciones del edificio 1 son mucho mejores, limpias y comodas. El hostal esta anexado a un bar muy famoso en la ciudad y eso le da una dinamica y vitalidad especial.

Vibe Analysis
Woodstock garden is the headline here: a backyard bar and terrace that pulls in locals as well as hostel travelers, so the social life can spill beyond the dorms instead of staying trapped in a common room. In warmer, busier periods it can feel lively, easy to meet others, and very Annecy-on-a-budget. The location is practical, with the old town, train station, lake access, supermarkets, and nearby food options within a walk. Bike rental is a real plus for lake days, and the hostel setup includes a kitchen, lockers in dorms, laundry, free tea and coffee at times, and bunk curtains in some rooms. This is not a polished sleep temple. Rooms can be cramped and hot, bathrooms and showers are a recurring weak spot, and the building can feel worn around the edges. Staff can be friendly and helpful, but check-in, key handling, and service consistency may be uneven. Come for the garden-bar social circuit and cheap Annecy logistics; keep standards calibrated.
Signals to check
- Bathroom cleanliness and maintenance can be rough, including mold, poor drainage, tiny toilets, and shared hand towels in some areas.
- Summer rooms can get very hot, especially higher floors, with limited ventilation or no air conditioning.
- Check-in and bike reservations may need extra confirmation; signage can be easy to miss.
- Noise from the garden bar or nearby doors may affect light sleepers, and the kitchen and fridge can feel cramped at busy times.
- Bed bugs have been a serious issue at times, so inspect your bed and ask for help immediately if anything feels off.
