Well, my bookings didn't go through because they're having issues with their system, which I understand, but then I feel like they should check to see if they have bookings; if the system isn't working, find a way around it. Also, the linen cupboard is NOT a safe for expensive cameras and passports. But thank you for finding a way for us to sleep at the hostel even though our booking didn't go through.

This was a great hostel if you want to stay near the beach. It is great for relaxing and getting a great night sleep, but it tends to draw an older crowd. Not a close to many clubs. But still an amazing hostel to stay at!
