Nice place to meet people. Cleand and Air conditioned. The only problem with the hostel is the $5 internet charge for an hour or so of use. Oh and no breakfast in the morning which I didnt mind

This is a great place to go to meet people and party hard. If your not looking for a party then don't come here. The music is loud and goes late.

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.

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.

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!

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.
