Antares Hostel

convenient location, close to tram/train station, in the city center, shopping streets.

During the booking process no mention was made that no towel will be provided, only after asking a towel was sold to me. Booking in took longer than required. No guest rules so some guests leave lights on and are noisy untill morning hours. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

I booked 3 months prior and paid IN FULL for the 11 days booking at the Antares. I wrote to them saying that I had bad legs and would appreciate a lower bunk bed. I arrived after an overnight flight from Toronto/Paris/Nice and as I walked in with all my bags, I was greeted by the manager who rudely advised me that he could not accept me since I obviously was over 40 years old. Nowhere on the Hotels.com booking contract was it mentioned that they discriminated against backpackers over 40. I was quite upset and complained that he could not refuse me shelter after booking and paying in full. He told me that I could stay with paying extra formy own room. After paying over $400 for10 days I was not prepared to pay more euros yet. The manager told me that the room were not clean and check in was at 1:00 p.m. I went for breakfast and came back around noon. When I walkedin, themanager told me that he had CANCELLED my reservation. Refused to give me a copy of a typed form that he kept for himself without showing it to me, and told me to take a hike. I wentto book a LOWER bunk bed in a far superior hostel right in the heart of Nice: Villa St. Exupery where they DO NOT HAVE AGE DISCRIMINATION. A shameful situation, a rude and cruel attitude to send me away without trying to help me find another place to stay. DISGUSTING!!!

very clean and convenient location, good wifi, friendly staff! said no breakfast, but provided free morning coffee, tea, jam and bread. My first bed was under AC directly (las bed in the room), the reception helped to allocate me to another room for free. It's really good.

A clean very well run hotel/hostel located close to the train station. A good value and I would certainly stay there again
