The place was very dirty and the beds were not made.

I called in the morning to see if arriving late would be a problem. They said there would be someone. There was no one. Luckily someone else let me in. There is no one to take responsibility in case something happens. No one minds the place. It's way too expensive for what you get.

For starters the fridges in the kitchen weren't working. There were bugs crawling from the 'clean' cutlery. The bins were extremely overflowing. There was no security on the windows. Wouldn't wish this upon anyone. Wouldn't stay again, it was so expensive when they didn't even have facilities that could be used.

the hostel is okay, there is a balcony, thats nive but there are cockroaches in the kitchen and only one toilet! the worst thing is that there is a club under the hostel and you can still hear the music and the bass in your hostel room! that was very poor.

First the good things: the double room was big and you have a short way to go downstairs to the pub, just follow the beerscent!! Otherwise, no charm, bathroom very dirty, coakroach in the kitchen, only one fork! very very noisy, specially wenesday and weekend. you can hear the noise like if you were in the same room. There's a night club and there is live concert, so the bass came over the room... so hard to sleep. very far from the city, beach, supermarket... well, not the place to be...
