    Solid breakfast, Masaki is a great location, sports bar is great. And the value for money is unbeatable. Great place to also meet different people from around the world. Bartender was swamped in the morning hours. But later was available.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    A nice little spot tucked into a good neighborhood with beach access. Great breakfast and a nice restaurant area with a chill vibe for relaxing, along with decent rooms. Excellent staff who are there to help. Some nights, the bar next door plays loud music (loud bass!) until late.

    The location was best, in the city close to everything. The facility is cute and comfy with lots of socializing opportunities. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are resident cats that are friendly and made it homey for me. The breakfast included is nice. It can be loud at times with a party atmosphere in the evenings and traffic on the street audible. I had to ask for a towel and bed cover which is annoying. The food is too touristy. For the shared bathrooms, would have been nice to see frequent maintenance.

    I love the vibe there and the place is beautiful. Each time i am going i meet incredible people. Staff is nice & Food is really good. I would recomend the 3 or 5 bed rooms they are lovely. Bathrooms are not quite clean. The window in the dorm has no curtain. Only 6 Lockers in a 10 bed dorm. Breakfast time is way too early.

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    The breakfast is fairly limited. but tasty There was a lot of noise at night, probably from a neighbouring bar rather than the property itself
