It was alright for that price. I would stay there again. One thing they could change is kitchen working hours. It closes at 8pm, it is a bit too early

This hostel was pretty cheap, and small, but the staff managed to overbook our room and give one of our beds away. We didn't mind sharing a bed one night, but the next day they managed to give away our one remaining bed as well, and it took them hours to sort it out. They didn't have a clue who was in what room . Facilities are pretty shabby all round and the beds were uncomfortable.

Cool little hostel near the big white wheel in surfers. The staff is super just sooooooooo friendly and very hepful. The hostel contains something like 30/40 backpackers max, but it's cool coz you get to know everybody. The hostel is one of the cheapest in surfers and it is total worth it. WATCH OUT the crazy neighbour, if you're too noisy , they throw stuff at you (they are kinda of retarded), so after 10, KEEP IN QUITE. the female dorm is the best room :)

there were some downside like the kitchen and the front desk close at 8pm... super super early. But it was a nice place the pool was good and front desk girls were super friendly just not too much knowledge of things to do. But all around it was a good place to stay.

Cosy place to stay! One of many hostels on that street so lots pf backpackers around. It has a nice innergarden with a bbq-grill free to use, although the pool has seen better days. Could leave our things for free in lockers in the reception. Some of the young staff lived there, and they weren't always seming to noticed you were there. And you didn't know they acctually worked there. Would stay there again :)

When you're here you feel like family. It's a smaller hostel, so you can get to know everyone who is staying there. It's laid back, and the staff are great! It's a great place to stay if you aren't into the whole, "go out every night, party, club scene", but are still wanting to have a good time. Would definitely recommend this hostel!

Small hostel with very nice staff and well equiped kitchen, but everything is very old and used and doesn't look too clean. The free wifi worked only occasionally. Not enough bathrooms.

A great laid back hostel that manages to avoid the over commercialized atmosphere of Nomads and the other big backpacker companies. This felt more in touch with the globe trotting community. I stayed on a Saturday night and was personally shown to my bed and given a thoughtful tour. Best thing was: not a noisy Australian group of youths in sight! Although the place across the road isn't as quiet :)
