Nice hostel, with a very good atmosphere. We were looking for a hostel with some nice backpackers for some drinks, laughter and party. Well, that's there! And if you want to go sleep early, that;s also possible. Staff is very helpfull. Location is 3 min walking from the beach and in the centre. And clean!! One down thing is, is that the kitchen is a bit small.

sweet backpackers. stayed in a 14 person bed dorm. lots of fun to be had here, great garden very social! only negative comment is the dorm room was never locked so felt a bit uneasy about leaving my stuff in there while i went out. however nothing went missing and if u leave your stuff unattended it could go missing anywhere! oh and great location right in town and 5 min walk to beach and the mount

The kitchen is WAY too small and there's quite some noise from the street in the biggest dorm but for the rest it's a very atmospheric hostel with very nice, helpful staff en close to the beaches and the mount itself - totally worth a climb to the top btw!!

Staff lovely and great location but the female dorm room had no fan or air conditioning and was sooooooo horribly hot it was almost impossible to sleep (it's also very noisy due to bar across street). The room was small, had no lockers and people living there took up most of the floor space and were not willing to move it. We like a bomb site. Bunks tipped a few times when trying to get up ladder and each movement rocked the whole bed.

A rather crowded party place where it was hard to get some sleep. My room was directly next to the big party street which was extremely loud. A hostel with atmosphere but rather small rooms. Nice to have a party feeling but not to really relax and get some sleep.
