the hostel was very quiet during my stay but I can imagine it would be very fum during peak season. Typical budget hostel. Beds were clean and comfortable, staff were really friendly, seperate gender bathrooms would have been nice but for the price I can't complain.

Nice place with great staff, fully English speaking and willing to help with anything! Rooms were not the cleanest and bathroom was not the cleanest either. No shower curtain, although there is a shower stall door (belongings get wet). Location was out of the way, but needs to be buzzed in the front door so nice security. Nothing extraordinary, but a place to stay. Rooms could be improved, and so could small bathroom.

I really recomend this hostel for you. Nice atmosphere, stuff very kind, clear, all facilities which are necessary, kitchen fully equipped, by food it's 30min from city center. Perfect for backpackers.

Cheap not far away from the beach and train station. A bit away from the old part of the city. Toiletts are very small and smell.

The hostel is quite far from the center of the city so you always have to take a bus. The staff is nice! It is a big hostel so not very personal, but overall we had an okay stay here.

The hostel itself was good. A good-sized backpackers hostel. Big open space, comfortable rooms and beds. Clean sheets and a good atmosphere. The kitchen was good sized, accesible by anyone and they even had nice tasty beverages for sale. Not in the center but also connected, there is a bus that takes you directly to the center and even a night bus for nights out.

Really gross room, tattered blanket with suspicious white stains. Floor was dirty and they hadn't cleaned enough to notice a pair of shoes someone left in the room beside the bed. Room and bathroom smelled. Two toilets and shower for an entire floor, where there was never TP. We were on the first floor, you could hear everything. If you are 18 and want to party all night probably is the place for you mind you price wasn't that cheap. Have stayed in a lot of hostels, wouldn't recommend.

The room was great and the staff was very helpful! We were only there overnight, but it was easy to find and their directions are perfect. The bathrooms were clean and they had wifi.
