I went to the hostel with 3 friends, and we really like it. We went two times and we are planing to go again. The location is great for us. Every night is a lot of fun. The food is good. And the people is very nice.

I reserved a private room and had to pay a part in advance, when I arrived in the evening at 9 PM I was told that my room "was broken" and everything else is booked. So I could not stay there and had to search for a hotel at 9 PM at my arrival. Very poor and very disappointing! I will not recommend this hostel anywhere. You should be able to rely on your booking. Unbelievable!

Best hostel I have ever stayed in!!! If you love to party and meet people, then you have to stay here!! But if a good night's sleep is what you're after, go somewhere else! I stayed in a 6 bedroom dorm, which I found very small and cramped. Other than that, it was clean and great atmosphere!

Perfect for clubbing vacations. It's easy to find persons and you could sit with them outside all night long. They ckean the rooms about 4 times a day, but it's totally necessary because you bring so much sand in it. The food was okay for the small money. The area is perfect, less than 5 mins walking distance to the beach, shops are everywhere and cheap restaurants around. Bad was that we hadn't hot water for one day and the music was too loud to sleep early. But still perfect for low budget.

I stayed here with 4 girlfriends. We initially booked a 6 bed dorm but when we arrived were told we had to stay at an alternate location - the part of the hostel a few blocks away. We had read other reviews that said this location was bad but we actually had a really good time. The rooms are much nicer, cleaner, quieter and we still went to the main hostel every night for drinks. The organised nights here are so good, awesome to skip lines to clubs and meet others from the hostel. Recommended!!

I have booked a late checking, and I have sent my arrival time at the airport. However when I arrived at the hostel, in the middle of the night they did not have a bed available on female dorm, and I do not think I stayed in a mixed dorm but a male dorm. In the morning I moved to a female dorm where I met an Australian lady, and apparently the same have happened with her. It seems a common practice, and I am not happy about.

Rosa was incredibly rude. Other staff very helpful and friendly. Cleaned often but large cockroaches in kitchen. Had two packages shipped to the hostel to pick up when I arrived. They were unable to locate my packages even though they were both delivered and signed for by staff according to the shipping company.

Great location and good party place, but some problems: I booked and paid for a 6-bunks male dorm but staff doesn't respect that: they told me all dorms were actually mixed and they added a folding bed and a 7th guest because the hostel was full. No locker was available in the room and wifi only worked (slowly) in the lobby, not in the rooms and not in the entertainment & dining room downstairs. Free food is nice but only available for a few minutes and after queueing for quite a long time.

Great hostel to fun! Staff organizes a lot and wants their guests to be happy. Food was good. Its possible to make laundry, which is also really nice. Rooms are really clean. All people were very friendly and if you like to party, it is the best place to be!
