Who is behind Côté Lac Hostel?
In July 2024, Alfa3a bought Côté Lac Hostel and Résidence Carlos Acutis. They have modernised the concept of the hostel, recruited motivated staff and renovated the different buildings tastefully. Alfa3a was able to work for the best to make the place inspiring while demonstrating strong values.
Venir séjourner chez nous, c’est investir dans les valeurs personnalistes d’Alfa3a et de ses missions. Nous venons d’un univers différent de l’hôtellerie classique mais nous faisons toujours les choses avec cœur, engagement et sens du détail, pour que votre séjour devienne une expérience mémorable !
