Ulasan Hostel Vertigo Vieux-Port

As with most hostels I've visited around Europe, you can always make some good and bad points about them all, with most of the bad ones easily avoidable, and Vertigo is no different. The hostel itself is very good and in an excellent location just 5 minutes from the harbour and 8 minutes from the metro. The staff were very friendly and the manager helped me when I had a complaint. My initial room was B0 which should be avoided at all costs as it's directly above where the loud music is played nightly. My second room when I complained I couldn't get to sleep because of the music was B1 which is only next door and still in earshot of the loud music, if a little better. There was a private party on the first night and it was Halloween on the second so I got no sleep at all. If this is something that would also bother you then stay away from these two rooms! There was a shower and basin in my room but the toilet was outside which was a little strange, it was still 24 degrees even in November but they did not have the air conditioning on and the rooms were stifling. In B0 when you had the window open for a bit of comfort you then had to listen to the outside traffic as well as the loud music. I also had trouble every night with the key card as it never worked when trying to get back into my room at night and I had to visit the reception every time to get it reprogrammed. There were lockers and night lights provided within the room. The breakfast was rather plain and costs an extra 6 Euros and was aimed mainly at French guests as it solely consisted of baguettes, cheese, ham, butter, jam, biscuits, orange juice and a machine serving coffee, tea, cappachino and chocolate. There are communal areas along with kitchen utensils and the use of fridge freezers.
