This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed in among quite a lot!
This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed in among quite a lot! Just opened this year (2017) and so perfect! I mean, this hostel will surpass your expections and beyond! Peter (one of the owners) is so kind and he's always ready to help you out! I wished that I've stayed here for a longer period! New youth hostel's standards just appeared with this place! Merci beaucoup! Salutations du Québec!
I cannot say enough good things about Cocoon City Hostel.
I cannot say enough good things about Cocoon City Hostel. This is hands down the best hostel I have ever stayed at. I didn't want to leave. Highlights: so clean, comfiest beds ever, best location you could dream of, & spacious secure lockers with lock provided. Things to note: all rooms are mixed dorms, towels are 3€ to rent but so luxurious & are professionally cleaned by a company. I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to stay in another hostel! Thank you so much for an incredible stay!
This is a hostel with the experience of a multiple stars hotel.
This is a hostel with the experience of a multiple stars hotel. The best hostel I've been too in my life. You can't go wrong with this one. Ended up extending my stay there for three nights. Just because you feel so much 'at home' and the place is even cleaner than your own house is, even though it's a hostel. They've really got that figured out!
