Gave us good tips about getting to Monaco for the grand prix We were given our keys but our room was located 15mins walk away. Room was... More

Perfect location in the Old Town. Very helpful owner and staff who let us check in early and gave good local directions for bus and onwards travel. Plus beach mats to use and a vending machine offering beer:-) No luxuries but kitchen and clean and quiet. We'll be back. x

Our first day at Hostel Smith was a roller-coaster ride of quality fluctuation. Vieille Ville is charming in most parts, but the hostel is located in a rather questionable multiplex--to enter, you have to buzz in and pass through a dark, sketchy hallway. This unfortunate first impression was quickly improved by the friendliness of the staff, who informed us that... More

I travelled with my two sons and booked Hostel Smith due to the "family room". The family room is a couple of blocks from the main hostel and you are completely on your own. The room is old, shabby, sheets and bedding are from the 70s decade, you will not sleep well because the room is either stiflingly hot (with... More

I've been staying at Hostel Smith. The stay here is really nice and the staff are great. Upon arriving I was greeted very warmly from the very first staff member I met Frank. He explained everything I had available and provided me with the password for the free internet access via my laptop or the hostel available laptops. He also... More
