You could be surprised at first, cuz it's more of a beach house than a hostel, but it was great there! The owner is a nice laid-back guy, a free soul, and the other hosts were friendly. We were travelling in two, both females, and felt absolutely safe. Overall a funny experience, we recommend it to young free-minded people, it's a shame we only stayed for one night:)

It would have been fine if it hadn't been for the: Absolutely disgusting toilet, no toilet paper anywhere to be seen Huge red flag: they ask you for 2.5€ cash for every night you stay and say this is the city policy. This is almost certainly a scam as tourism taxes are normally included in the price. They ask you for cash because there's no way to charge that money legally by electronic means. They also ask you for your ID in order to take a picture and say it's protocol. I complied because I wanted to interact as little as possible. This is ILLEGAL and NO business can ask to save your personal documents. Stay away from this place. Terrible living conditions with an odd crowd. Owner who acts like a cartoon and is extremely rude if he feels like it and gets offended very easily. He also made a few friends who came with me super uncomfortable and tried to flirt with one of them out of nowhere. Me and my friends are quite low maintenance and will take a lot of crap but this crack den was something else even for us. They should NOT have any hospitality permits or anything of the sort.

Good concept, bad realisation. This place attracts cool, likeminded travelers and I met some very nice people there. The hygiene and the common areas were fine. However the owner made me feel very uncomfortable by acting in a flamboyant, chaotic, and immeadiately offended manner. He tried to flirt with me and wanted to drive me home, while drunk. I know it's the only affordable place to stay in Aix, but I would not recommend staying here based off of that experience. There are camping sites in the city or other hostels in Marseille and you can visit Aix by train.

Cheap, yet strange, disorganised place. When I arrived there, the guy on the couch gave me a not-so-great welcome by telling me that there was an extra tax to pay — I explained to him that no one had informed me of this. He said that it had to be paid in cash, so I said that I didn't have any cash on me. He replied in a snarky way 'well you should always carry cash on you'... The guy looking after the place in the morning was much nicer, however

Worst experience of my Life. I am sure Syrian people enjoy more honorable Life conditions in refugees camps than what i found in Goclands. The Place Is basically a site in construction, no Doors, no floors, thanks God there's ceeling and running water. The owner Is constantly shirtless, smelling funky and playing videogames. You can't lock you're stuff but you're told "nobody Will steel anything". No privacy, noise all the time and probably dirty sheets on the bed. I stayed One night and the morning After the Guy comes swearing, and spitting on the ground, saying they've been robbed that night of all the bycicles parked there. Invest 10 euros more for a real hostel. Goclands Is avoid, avoid, avoid!
