Reviews of Altea Hostel

15 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: From the reviews about this place we were expecting a complete dive! Its really not that bad. Its very basic and there's no common room or kitchen so not similar to a lot of hostels. We stayed in a fairly spacious 4 bed room with a fridge, table, sink and mirror, which is better than we expected! Had to sit in the hallway for the wifi to work and you get given toilet paper when you arrive.There is a €20 euro key deposit, which we didn't know about; either that or you can leave your passport.Its not a hole, though if you have other options in Nice and are willing to pay more, than book somewhere else!

Liked: The studio where we stayed is very confortable. The railway is close to the hostel, so when we open the window it gets really noisy. If you don't mind that, I'd recommend this hostel.

21 July 2009 Christine would recommend this property

Liked: There is one fitted sheet, no top sheets or anything. The toilet on our floor was broken the first night. The staff was pretty nice and it was very safe.

Liked: Terrible. We were put in a closet for the first night because they had ''overbooked'', as they did with the next 3 groups of people coming in. One shower (which was broken and dirty and overflowed), the one sink in the bathroom didnt work, the staff (the one guy running the hostel) was not friendly (even though we speak french). Terrible.

Liked: Not a lot! Benefits included a code for the door but the attitudes of the staff was poor and the room was dirty. Our sheets were only changed once during our 10 day visit! The shower was filthy and had to be cleaned.

14 July 2009

Liked: This had to be the worst place we stayed in Europe! We paid a decent amount of money to stay in a dorm that was supposed to have a shower but didnt. Reception was a closed off part of the hotel seperate to the dorms, you had to ring a doorbell and wait. I wasnt made to feel welcome to ask questions or speak to reception at all. The window of our room opened onto the balcony that is used by residents, as such there was a lot of noise (seriously a lot). The beds have just a base sheet and nothing more, they dont mention it to you at all but you can rent a sheet or blanket for 1 euro. The bathroom had a toilet, no seat, no toilet paper, the taps were cemented shut (you had to use the sink in your room), the shower was yuck! and the taps broken. The water was a luke warm dribble at best. Also on our first night there the light in the toilet died, despite us mentioning it straight away, they still hadnt replaced it when we left which made going to the toilet after dark very difficult. When we arrived all the beds in our dorm looked as if they had been used and all they did was straighten them out for us, not replace the sheets. Nowhere at all in the room for bags, the rooms were small and the bags had to go in the strip between the two bunks which made getting in and out of the room like an obstacle course. Wasnt in a very good end of town either, little bit dodgy after dark. Loudest bunkbeds in the entire world. If you arent fussy in ANY sense of the word, then I guess this place is okay for you, otherwise, maybe give it a miss.
