If you are traveling through the middle of France it would be a mistake to skip Tours. It would be a bigger mistake to not stay at Francois’s wonderful old fashioned hotel. You will be delighted

Hostel is located ideally. Narrow stairway to first floor. Clean. Room has bare minimum. Water bottle & 2 glasses w/linens & fan sre the amenities. No kitchen facilities or even hot water kettle is available. Decor is off-beat, could use a make over. Shared bathroom could be problematic w/guests.

I was nervous about staying here after reading some negative reviews but needn’t have worried. I didn’t receive the door codes so called when I arrived and the woman I spoke to was really helpful - she sent me them on WhatsApp. She stayed on the phone to make sure I could enter the property. The room (3 single beds) was decorated nicely and was really clean. The beds were comfortable. There was a water dispenser in the hallway and maps etc. Both bathrooms were spacious and very clean despite being shared facilities. We didn’t wait to use them at all. I suspect if we’d stayed in the peak of summer, we may have had to wait our turn. Location was fantastic - right in the old town and 5mins walk to the beach. We could hear noise from the bars but we chose to stay on the main street where the bars are so we expected noise. It didn’t go on too late. I am a lone female with 2 daughters (14 and 11) and felt completely safe staying here - in fact, it was one of our favourite stops on our backpacking trip. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is located right in the center of all the night life. It certainly adds excitement to the experience but don't plan on going to bed early (before midnight).

We had trouble getting clean towels, and trying to remember all the codes to get in, but location is excellent

The property is very centrally located in old town and though you can’t drive right up to it a cab can drop you off less than 3 blocks away. The room was clean and quaint. I stayed a week and without a view it started to feel a bit small. No reception so you need to be around for the maids to provide you with new towels. Shared washroom facilities were okay, never had to wait too long. For the price, I was a little underwhelmed, but overall this is a great place to stay if you’re traveling alone or with a partner and want to be in the thick of old town.

the conditions of the bathroom doesn't correspond to the private bathroom. The bathroom was not cleaned, the sink was dirty, there was garbage, toilet is over peed.

Central and loud during the nights, which is to be expected in the old town. Other than that, this is the kind of place that makes you feel dirty at all times (sticky, dirty floor; feces in the toilet bowl; dirty linen; no cleaning/room service). Wifi didn’t work. Although there is a private bathroom, it’s outside the room, with a strong smell coming through the window. We stayed in other places in San Sebastián before and for the quality they provide it is way too overpriced!
