I loved my dorm mates. WiFi was terrible, almost unusable. Showers only stayed on for ~20 seconds at a time so you needed to keep one hand on it while showering (same with sink). It was quite loud in the room from the seagulls and people outside. The “pillow” was not really a pillow, but you could upgrade for 2 euro. Beach towel and shower towel were additional cost. Each of my dorm mates were hit in the head by the luggage storage

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Super clean for how large it is. Staff members take really good care of you and put on some fab events. If I had to be constructive, the addition of blackout curtains would have been great. However, beds were comfy and rooms provided you with everything needed.
