Everybody very kind. We had a problem with our room that was not available when we got there. They managed to find a nice hotel nearby, paid for it and were very helpful and sorry for their error. The atmosphere is friendly, kitchen very complete. Quite a few nice places to relax and a small terrace with a beautiful view to the sea and beach. The rooms are not all as nice as the n10 we had second day, but OK.

The hostel was absolutely great, awesome atmosphere, clean rooms and bathrooms. The only problem we had was that at our arrival (at 5.30am) the guy who was at night wasnt friendly at all, he was on the couch and said to us "go to the back, there you can stay until is clear in the morning") and he didnt even turn on the lights for us in order to reach the back of the common areas.... Other than that the hostel was fantastic, the woman at the kitchen and the man at breakfast were fantastic as well

This is a party hostel, so book a private if you want to relax. It's right on the beach but a twenty minute walk from the bus station. The reception staff are fantastic. The large kitchen is well equipped, but a little busy if the hostel is full. A great option, especially for younger travellers.
