The hostel has a nice layout with a good social area and pool right in the center, there is also a beach volleyball court which was really nice. Im not usually fussy about cleanliness but the dorms were barely cleaned and when they were they weren’t cleaned well at all. The same with the bathrooms, they were regularly dirty with overflowing waste baskets. The wifi is also really bad and regularly cuts out for long periods, so not a good place to stay if you are working while traveling.

Ich habs im Zoo geliebt! Habe jeden Tag Volleyball gespielt und mich danach im Pool abgekühlt! Das Frühstück war nichts Besonderes, aber gut und inklusive :) Leider gab es einen kleinen Vorfall in meinem Dorm nachts, aber dafür konnte das Hostel nicht. Die Duschen und Toiletten sind nicht außerordentlich sauber, aber definitiv sauber genug. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen!
