When we think of "hostels", we often imagine noisy dormitories, XXL backpacks and evenings that last until the early hours of the morning. But this image is outdated: hostels have evolved, and Naéco Hostels is a perfect example of this!
Naéco Hostels is the happy medium between a comfortable hotel and a friendly youth hostel. It offers the best of both worlds: cosy rooms, shared spaces designed for exchange, and a relaxed atmosphere, without ever sacrificing comfort.
Today, hostels attract much more than backpackers. Thirty-somethings, forty-year-olds, families, nomadic freelancers or nature lovers cross paths and feel good there.
So, why settle in a hostel as an adult? Here are 5 good reasons (and a few bonuses) to try the Naéco Hostels experience.
To find the essentials: simplicity and conviviality
At a time when everything is moving fast, our Breton hostels offer a return to basics. No frills, but authenticity, joyful sobriety and a relaxed atmosphere. Here, we exchange a few words in the shared kitchen, invite ourselves to a game of molkky or share a coffee with a stranger who has become a hiking buddy. It is these spontaneous encounters with travelers that make the richness of the stay.
To travel differently (and smarter)
You don't have to spend a fortune to have a memorable stay. Youth hostels allow you to travel at a lower cost, while keeping comfort and style. At Naéco, you can choose between a bed in a dormitory, a cozy private room or even a cabin. We adapt the accommodation to your needs, without sacrificing atmosphere or quality.
To immerse yourself in local life
Youth hostels like Naéco are deeply rooted in their territory. We work with local craftsmen, we serve local products for breakfast, we guide you to the best markets, good spots at low tide, beekeepers, second-hand dealers or the small hidden cheese factory in the village. Staying with us means travelling through a culture, a region, a rhythm.
For more responsible hosting
Today, more and more travelers want to give meaning to their stays. The new generation youth hostels are part of a responsible and circular stay logic: upcycled furniture, zero plastic, recycling, sorting, shared fridges, reuse of unsold items... At Naéco, even overripe fruit ends up in homemade jam, and an old skateboard becomes a designer lamp. We combine eco-responsibility, creativity and comfort, with good humor. Travelling thus becomes a responsible stay, without being restrictive.
Because you never grow old in your head
At 30, 40 or 50 years old, we always want to discover, to laugh, to meet travellers, to feel free. The youth hostel is a multigenerational playground and exchange where everyone has their place. A freelancer looking for a quiet place to work during the day, a single parent with a teenager, a couple in vanlife mode, a curious hiker or a retired surfer... There is no age limit for travelling to Brittany or for meeting beautiful people.
At Naéco, the youth hostel has grown... like you
We are not a hotel, but much more than just a hostel. Naéco Hostels is a community of caring travellers, nature lovers, tinkerers of ideas, active dreamers. It is a place where you can surf at dawn or share an aperitif board at sunset. Where we cultivate human connection, respect for the environment and the beauty of simple things. In short, a responsible stay, but without losing your smile!
Whether you put your bags down in Erdeven, Audierne or Le Pouldu, you are entering a world designed for free, curious and committed travellers.
You will find modular accommodation (warm dormitories, comfortable private rooms, unusual cabins, etc.), shared living spaces, natural gardens, but also unique services to live at your own pace: Bike shelters, common rooms equipped for coworking, outdoor spaces to chill or have fun, fireplace for convivial evenings, and even rooms to privatize to organize your private events. Contrary to popular belief, our Breton hostels are not just for young people: they warmly welcome adults, families, groups of friends or solo travellers of all ages.
The atmosphere is simple, joyful and committed at the same time. Here you can meditate in the morning, surf in the afternoon, lead a creative workshop or toast under the stars. Naéco Hostels are new generation hostels where you take care of yourself, others... and the planet.
In short?
Staying in a youth hostel as an adult means choosing a different way of travelling: freer, more conscious, more connected to others and to oneself. At Naéco, we welcome all generations with the same desire: to share the pleasure of living together, in a responsible, friendly and enriching way through the meetings of travellers.
