Up a peaceful alleyway, this dependable hostel has reasonably spacious four- and eight-bed dorms with lockers and shared bathrooms, plus a few private rooms (double to quad). There's laundry and a 2nd-floor terrace, though not a lot in the way of atmosphere. It's a short walk from the metro station, on the west side of the river. Some English spoken.
