JO&JOE Hossegor

Breakfast was nice, but they keep the cheese and meats in a small fridge which you won't notice unless you're a hungry cheapskate like me! I had the bed that, in the picture, has the pink teddy bear thing on it. That has to be the LOUDEST bed in the entire place, right beside the window like that with the bar and restaurant outside...nevertheless I was able to get to sleep. I liked that I could walk over to Dale for dinner. I ordered poitrine des porc, not sure what it was going to be, but was very happy to discover I ordered bacon strips for dinner. Yum.

This was one of the best hostels I've probably ever stayed at. First off, it is a HUGE property, with tons of dorms, huge common areas, a bar, outdoor eating, etc. The staff was super helpful and friendly (I felt bad that I didn't speak French but they were all very patient), there were bikes and surfboard racks to rent, and mostly great amenities. The beds were suprisingly comfy-- I don't think I've ever slept so well in a hostel-- plus they had curtains on both sides if you were on a bottom bunk that gave a lot of privacy and blocked the light (great for me as a light sleeper). I met tons of cool people here and ended up extending my trip a day because I was having so much fun.

Great atmosphere, friendly people , selection of food trucks , bar on sight, games… everything you need. The place felt very safe too. Lockers available. I was worried about being in such a big dorm but im everyone was quite respectful. A great experience overall. Was hard to leave.

Nice location and back garden

You can rent bikes there so you can get around easily - otherwise Hossegor is a bit far (around 40min walk)
