The best hostel I've ever stayed in! Such lovely staff, super clean facilities, super cheap and a great location. Also the only hostel I've stayed in where I've felt super comfortable and relaxed with everyone there. Was a free BBQ, we were offered a boat tour, and despite not having locks on the main doors, I never ever felt unsafe. Shoutout Romano too 👋🏼

Had a great time there! A very zen hostel with an amazing atmosphere and chill vibe! Rayane and Gabriela were the best and sooo kindhearted and fun! But… the French girls working there were not nice. They were entitled, snobby and didn’t seem to care… not the vibe.

Hostels location is great. A 5min walk from the pier. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and seem to know exactly which excursions to offer to each guest. Big common area to easily meet other travelers. Good kitchen.
