Very nice hostel, with a good vibe and friendly. Close to the beach, and you can rent bikes and surfboards at the reception for a good price. Would definitely recommend staying here!

fun hostel with family vibes. Loads of common areas to chill, cute hostel dog, decent showers and kitchen and loads of board games. You can also rent bikes and surf boards. The security could be improved (no locks on the dorm doors) but overall a really nice spot
