Had a private room, very basic and no AC but it did the job. Bathrooms weren’t the best, often not the cleanest and showers had no hot water and the pressure was terrible so I really struggled to wash my hair. Seemed friendly enough and staff were helpful although no one was around to help me check out even after ringing the bell multiple times, which was rather frustrating as I had some trouble with my bus times changing and needed advice about boats to Saracen pier.

I liked this hostel. It was cheap and close to where you can see the plankton. The dogs are friendly, the bathrooms are as clean as they can be considering they’re outside. You get what you pay for. I would stay again. Almost no social atmosphere which was odd as it is advertised as the “party” hostel but I did not mind this.

Lovely beachside hostel, a little removed from the main strip in M’Pai bay which feels a bit more private. Super easy to get to the plankton beach too (tiny little village anyway but convenient). Staff were super helpful with any questions and local recommendations. Music is played relatively loud until a bit late but it’s not much of an issue. Nicely social as well.
