The hostel essentials
A Creole hostel in Terre-Sainte
The location. Terre-Sainte, a short walk from central Saint-Pierre, the lagoon and the beaches. Authentic and lively, without being noisy.
The rooms. Dorms for up to 5 people (€30 a night with breakfast) or double rooms. Shared bathrooms, with access adapted for people with reduced mobility.
The facilities. A shared kitchen with cooking equipment, common areas with seating, a terrace with sun loungers, a garden. Wifi included.
Regular activities. What sets Ô Passage Kaz apart: vacoa weaving workshops (a traditional Creole craft using screwpine leaves) and group outings. They bring travellers together, and closer to the local culture.
Who it's for, who it isn't
Who it's for
It suits solo travellerswho want to meet people without forcing it: the vacoa weaving workshops and group outings are a natural icebreaker, and the 430+ reviews show the atmosphere works. It's also good for couples on a tight budgetwho don't mind shared bathrooms in exchange for a cheap stay a stone's throw from the lagoon. And for people working on the island for a while (healthcare workers, tradespeople, temps) who want a kitchen so they don't eat out every night, and a lively area to unwind in after work.
Who it isn't for
If you're travelling with young children, the communal living (dorms for up to 5, open common areas, workshops) doesn't sit well with the routine and calm a family trip needs. The same goes for couples wanting complete privacy: shared bathrooms come with hostel life, and even the double room isn't as quiet as a hotel. In that case, a guesthouse in Terre-Sainte or a seafront hotel such as Battant des Lames, listed further down this page, is a better fit.
