Auberge de Jeunesse

Montpellier


Montpellier’s HI-affiliated hostel feels very institutional, but it's a good base for budgeteers, with clean four- to 10-bed dorms and renovated bathrooms. There’s a lounge downstairs with table football and pool, and a small garden. It's very close to the centre.
