The view from the terrace was absolutely beautiful and all of the amenities were very helpful. Felt very safe and everyone was very friendly. It's also a nice distance away from center of city if that's what you are looking for, and it's right on the beach which is fantastic! Would absolutely recommend and would come back again

This felt like a basic hostel. It was generally friendly, but really nothing special in terms of facilities. Beds are very squished together, curtains are very thin, and top bunks don’t have curtains. Whilst this isn’t really the hostel’s fault, we felt on edge during our stay because of a certain guest who had been aggressive and caused disturbances during the night. In our opinion, he shouldn’t have been allowed to stay in the hostel. If I had been alone, I would’ve felt genuinely unsafe
