It's a nice place, with internet and TV in the lobby, but definitely too expensive for the rooms real value - The shower door handle fell off immediately, the so-called "sea view" is more of a "gas station view" and the window is so big, that you can never walk undressed, so you end up closing the curtains anyway. The neighborhood is nice tho, a bit far from the center, but almost quiet, the beach 5 min walk away. The manager Alex can speak good English, rest of the staff don't.

we arrived to find that our room reservation had not been known to the staff so there were no rooms for us to stay in. but to the manger's great credit he went into town to find us another hostel and was back within 20 minutes with a room paid for, ready and waiting. he then told us, in very good English, that he would give us a superior room for the same price as we paid if we came back; which we did. an enjoyable stay overall, nice location and very helpful staff.

it's a pretty new hostel, but the people seem dedicated to it and are very friendly. Reading lights were missing, but the beds are very comfortable. The hostel is less than 5 minutes from the seaside, and a beach where you can swim is just 15-20 minutes away. All in all, I enjoyed my stay there.
