It was a nice place to stay. Well located. However, it's not the best place to meet people. Really a small hostel - there is no kitchen and commun aera. That doesn't help to meet people. The last night that I was there, they let a group of 5 people check-in the room at one o'clock of the morning!! They were really noisy. I don't think that's a brillant idea to let a group check-in a this time!

The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Hostel is in a great location, very near to the main train station and about a 10min walk to the beach. Very easy to access the area & sights, we really enjoyed our stay here.

the staff was super nice and accommodating, but note they only take cash (if you want to use credit there's a 3% charge). the location is absolutely amazing, only about 5 minutes from the train station. i went during an off season so my group had a room to ourselves. great quiet, nice and clean place to stay. note: no breakfast:(

Nice hostel but would be a lot more fun if it had a common lounge area

Fine if you're simply looking for a place to stay. It's clean. That's about all you get.

This hostel was not as we expected from reading the reviews. It was very expensive for what was a very hard and uncomfortable bed in a grey room with not a lot in it. There was 1 toilet for females and 1 for males and 2 showers in the hostel, although they were clean it meant having to queue to use the 'facilities'. also there were no kitchen facilities even to boil water. Very disappointing and very overpriced!!

Location is great, very convenient, but I will not be staying here again. The staff are hardly there. My dorm was too small for 6 strangers to be sleeping together. My boyfriend and I had to sleep in different bunk beds because all of the bottom bunks were taken up. There is nowhere to chat or relax, just a couple of benches, and it's 8E to have your clothes washed. There is nowhere to store your rucksack, just a small safe for a few little valuables, and the key deposit is 20E.

Bonjour, You were with us for 2 nights. We feel really sorry if you did not feel satisfied with us, but please, allow us to clarify a few things. We would have been very happy to help you if you would have told us what the problem was while staying at our hostel. Firstly, we have clearly written in the description of the hostel that we have lockout time from 11:00 to 14:00, during which we clean the rooms. You have to respect it! Secondly, you were booked in the 6 bed mixed dorm, not in the private room, so where is problem? Safety box is standard size for ½ persons, it's just for your valuables. Finally, we shall do our best to provide you all, travellers, the basic service including clean, quiet and comfortable rooms, hot running water, room with air condition, free wi-fi and a safe environment. But as far as entertainment, sightseeing etc., are concerned, that is the responsibility of the hostel guests themselves. Best regrads, The staff

We now classify our reviewers based on how well travelled they are.
