very nice, very clean hostel and VERY quiet, so if you're travelling by yourself and want to meet some people you might want to stay somewhere else. The dorms are a bit small and the beds are quite old, also there are no keys for the dorms or lockers. BUT the view over the lagoon is beautiful, it's wuite a walk to the town centre and the marina, though

Our room was perfect and the hostel is in the perfect location. The stores close early so if you plan on cooking your own dinner, get to the store early. Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay.

This was a nice hostel in a nice town. All the facilities were clean and the staff helpful. Only a few minutes walk in to town. This isn't a party hostel, more somewhere to relax and chill out. A great place to go if you want to read and just stop for a few days. The kitchen facilities are good and free breakfast in the morning is always a positive.
