This hostel is pretty good. The atmosphere is definitely a party one. Although, I didn't have the trouble sleeping that everyone else did. The only problem is that a lot of things were ridiculously over priced. I had thought that I lost my keycard, and they were going to charge me $20.00 for it (which is outrageous.) Also, the internet is pretty steep too. Overall though, it was a good atmosphere and being next to the beach was great. I'd definitely stay next time if budget allows.This hostel is pretty good.

Overall reasonably good, unhappy though about no DVD player in Rm 202 when there was one in Rm 203. Almost too much security and hidden costs e.g. parking. Apart from these it was fine.Overall reasonably good, unhappy though about no DVD player in Rm 202 when there was one in Rm 203. Almost too much security and hidden costs e.g. parking.

it was noisy on ladies night, because the people crowed outside (under your window).. Trivia night was nice and the place was clean. It is a very good experience if you are searching for a drinking and dancing and pandemonium :) Staff is good, but there is NO FRIDGE SPACE... the moment you take your staff out of the fridge the little spot (that you have somehow managed to squeeze in) IS GONE!it was noisy on ladies night, because the people crowed outside (under your window)..

if you like a party, this is the place to be. If you want a quiet place to get some proper sleep, avoid it, it's quite noisy. Facilities are great either way.if you like a party, this is the place to be. If you want a quiet place to get some proper sleep, avoid it, it's quite noisy. Facilities are great either way....Close

The dorm ensuite bathrooms sound like a great idea... until you realize that in a dorm, once one person gets up and starts making noise getting ready, it wakes everyone up, which means the whole dorm is waiting to get into the bathroom to brush their teeth, shower, etc at the same time in the mornings - not well planned at all. But overall, GREAT location and nice party hostel.The dorm ensuite bathrooms sound like a great idea... until you realize that in a dorm, once one person gets up and starts making noise getting ready, it wakes everyone up, which means the whole dorm is waiting to get into the bathroom to brush their teeth, shower, etc at the same time in the mornings - not well planned at all.
