vibe was a bit strange, felt the staff all thought they had better things to do than talk to the guests and help answer questions or solve requests. no locks on the dorm doors. bathrooms were fine but not much privacy. laundry service was quite frustrating. hostel also adds a lot of a additional charges on. no social vibe whatsoever and the dog could be quite loud. I wasn't looking for a party hostel so was pleased to have a mostly quiet stay but some may choose to look elsewhere.

The atmosphere is very warm and cosy. The location is very convenient. I liked the breakfast and the fact that there was actually hot water in the bathroom which is rare in hostels.

Relaxing hostel in walking distance to beach views, walking trails, parks with cats, and lots of food options. The people here (staff and guests) are very nice, accepting, and friendly.
