Best hostel vibe I've experienced so far. Really friendly, people chat and hang out together, I did a surfing lesson (discounted significantly when booked through hostel reception) with others from the hostel and had a jam session with some others another day (guitar available at the hostel). Laundry facilities, lots of common spaces, large kitchen. Off street parking (around 9 spots total) and on street free parking just around the corner. Walking distance to the beach.

Everything in the shared areas is a little grubby and worn (kitchen and bathrooms kept clean though). The bottom bunk beds are so low, you can't sit up in bed or comfortably prop yourself up lying down. Also the only hostel where I had some of my food stolen from the fridge, although obviously not the hostel's fault.

The atmosphere, the facilities, the staff. The beds are great, and they have a nice tv room and Ping pong table. Also they organize some fun activities regularly. It’s a great place to meet nice people :)

There could be more plugs to charge your cellphone, laptop in the in the tv area (there are a couple, but when there is a lot of people they are not enough). The shared showers could be better, and sometimes the water gets cold if someone uses the toilet. However there are also ā€œprivateā€ showers which are amazing and clean.

Good location, easy to find nearby parking, very friendly and easygoing staff. Great place if you are looking to meet many travelers.

It's a very busy hostel, probably one of the busiest I've been to. Perfect for young party seeking backpackers. I enjoyed my very short stay, but long-term, in my opinion, it would have been tiring to share facilities like kitchen and bathrooms with so many people - limited amount of bathrooms and space in the kitchen for such amount of people.

The staff is really friendly and helpful, special thanks to Mike and Lara ā˜ŗļø The hostel is very clean and spacious, you have loads of places to chill and meet people. I've actually never seen a hostels kitchen that clean, and it's fully equipped The ping pong table and TV with Netflix are a + Really good wifi 10 min walk to the beach and New world

The only thing is that the hostel is a 15-20 min walk to the city center where you can find loads of restaurants, bars, cafƩs, shops,...

Excellent location, within walking distance of everything needed and also on bus route if needing to go further. Good kitchen facilities and enough storage for everyone. Enough showers so not having to wait at any point. Helpful staff. All areas well cleaned each day. Lockable under bed storage at request, very secure and safe place to stay and felt comfortable my belongings were safe.

Room was very small, which made it difficult for all 4 people at times. Not really enough space to move anywhere or to put all belongings. Also felt a little uncomfortable being so close to another bunk bed and person. Fairly high price compared to other hostels I’ve stayed in.

Very friendly and warm welcome. Lovely people all around. Will come again (despite the bunk beds) and will recommend the hostel for short stays.

The bunk beds are horrible. While the mattress is super comfortable, the metal frame shakes with each movement. It was scary to get up and down because of how fragile the frame was perceived.

Staff friendly, positive & happy Large kitchen space & outdoor seating Good facilities for washing & drying clothes Kitchen kept clean. Staff cleaned the cookers every day. Plenty of storage space for own food & lots of fridges

Limited no of toilet facilities on ground floor 10pm curfew for consuming beer. Seems a bit too restrictive, particularly for those like myself who might like to have one just one one or two beers, but not until after 10. Given the alcohol 10pm curfew, its unfortunate that there are no nearby pubs to compensate for this

Nice common areas, lots of outlets, comfy bed, nice to have a small sink in the dorm. Enough storage. Nice staff, and good outside area. The location is good too!

Could use some more shower pressure Could also use at least a small shelf to put your belongings when you are on the upper bunk beds, and a light as well

Friendliest and most welcoming reception staff I’ve had anywhere, felt like an instant friend. The manager Ale helped me out a lot and I felt looked after!

The showers could drain a bit better, but generally the place is well kept.

Great location. Easy access. It was awesome to meet tourists (I’m a New Zealander). I was there for work and needed somewhere cheap. Rooms are great and I loved the games shelf and table tennis

Would be better if access to tv upstairs was easier to use.
