I stayed at Spotsleeping but had to leave before my stay finished due to unfavourable conditions. I was put in the wrong room despite being told I would be put in a different room. I was not told that the G7 meeting was taking place that week and Biarritz would be closed down despite booking months in advance. There were ants in some of the kitchen food cupboards. I raised several complaints with regards to my room but I was told I should just leave instead of staying. Despite both rooms being listed as mixed one room is female only sometimes while males still have to share a mixed room. Any minor infringement such as forgetting to dry a plate or hanging a towel on a chair outside would be instantly pointed out as the hosts are constantly present in the hostel. When I raised issues with the room no help was offered and privacy was not respected as the host told another guest about my problems in French while I sat there. In the end Airbnb were able to accommodate me with alternative accommodation.
