Reviews of Solfé Backpacker

Amazing facilities with very clean and spacious common areas as well as a fantastic private room. Exceptional price value and a super friendly host who has great tips on hikes and surroundings. Even better than expected and we would return any time! Thank you!

It's got a really nice social ambiance. I felt like you could actually meet people here, and wish my schedule had allowed for more time to just hang out there.

Damien talked a big game about being good at ping pong, but he was too busy taking care of the hostel to play in the morning. Is he better at ping pong than me? I still don't know

Kitchen, loft area, patio, yoga room

Just a bit far from town

I loved the comfy common area, the full curtains on the beds, the location was amazing (so close to the spa/hot pools)! The high table upstairs has a beautiful view of the mountains & church. The kitchen was perfect, plenty of electric hot plates, a free food section with plenty of food there, lovely coffee/tea setup. The staff were so lovely, gave plenty of help with recommendations & set up movies and Mario cart nights! A beautiful river is a 5/10 minute walk away too!

Very nice Host and Atmosphere (such a lovely living room!). You can get plenty of tips for day tours and the location is just perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook you own meals There is a day spa right next door (discount for hostel guests). Absolutely recommendabel!

Lovely ambience .... Designed with backpackers, hikers and bikers in mind. Great welcome and facilities such as the kitchen, bar and lounge and balcony area. Nice place to meet other travelers. Damien the host took great care in the place and making it welcoming

Very little! A walk downstairs to get to the shared bathrooms which has a slight damp smell

Great place, loved it! Well equipped big kitchen, lovely common area with lots of comfy couches, chairs, games. Comfy beds, nice quiet location by thermal baths and beautiful view of church across the street.

Damien is a great host and very knowledgeable about hiking, activities and restaurants in the area. The hostel is in a great location just outside of Luz Saint Saveur, close to good hiking. The shared bedrooms were great, not too many people and sturdy, comfortable beds. Genuinely one of the best hostels I have stayed at!

Excelent shared rooms with all you need, individual lights, electric plug and hooks to hang your towel. Sink inside the room is very convinient too. Great shared kitchen and commons areas. Good location close to a thermal spa for a relaxing bath after long hikes!

The bathrooms, although very nice and clean, are located downstairs from the bedrooms.

The people and the atmosphere!

Nothing

Everything, so first, the owner know very well the different spots and gives very good advises for hicking, second, we've got a mario kart party with the guests, third, the kitchen is brand new and the amenities and accommodation worth definitely the value. Also, the staff and the owner are very kind, I don't have any complaint about them, if you looking for a very welcoming place, that definitely the place to be instead of an Airbnb.

Well hard to say, can't find any inconvenient.

Extremely friendly owner/host. Great shared spaces (kitchen, recreation)

Lack of soap holders in the showers

Great stay, everything you want from a hostel, everything was very clean and bed set up is great with curtains for privacy

It’s a 20-30 minute walk out of the main town - not a problem but just to be aware of while booking! (Worth it for the price though)

Damien is a very friendly host and gave us good advice about hike around Luz St Sauveur. We stayed in the doubleroom which is spacious and has a large private bathroom. The huge shared living room / bar has a great atmosphere. The kitchen on the ground floor is very well equiped.

The property is next to a busy road where the traffic is very fast. Maybe this was due to the fact that a bridge was closed though. The doubleroom balcony would be a great asset if there was less traffic.

Very clean 👌 Very spacious really enjoyed my stay here for 3 nights Excellent location for cycling 🚲 Slept really well

Great location for GR 10 hikers and people who want a good value for their money for a night's stay. Good beds with an electric socket for each one. Nice common areas.

Shower and toilets were fine but could use some expansion and improvement (which it looks like is currently ongoing)

This Hostel is an absolute gem in the Pyrenees. Damien (The Owner) Put His Heart and Soul into this Project and build everything with His wife. He deeply Cares about giving the guests an awesome stay and is incredibly helpful. PS: He's an absolute beast at Mario Kart (Wii) so be prepared
