    Nice hostel with slightly confusing layout. Rooms were clean enough, staff was friendly, guests were okay. Good location The bathroom is an interior design enigma - there are two toilets, but the stall for one of them is so small you have to sit to poop with your knees behind your ears because there's no space for your legs. Good for yoga I guess, but unusable in practice.

    1 of my dorm mates kept the light on most of the night, no fault of the hostel though.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    It hot in our room at night although there is a fan

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Tiny bathroom, tiny balcony, messy and overall quite dirty, both bathroom, balcony and kitchen.Third floor walkup, reception first floor. Bedside lamp did not work.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Close to the center, easy entrance and smooth check in. Guests other guests stayed up late past quiet hours in common areas. Room had zero ventilation, the winds do not help to aerate the room.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Ladies bathroom what really claustrophobic and uncomfortable. To use the bathrooms comfortably, it was the best to lock the whole bahroom, not letting anyone else in.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Great kitchen, easy location, helpful staff. Our bed was very noisy Customers were loud way after “quiet hours”.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Simple small hostel but space has been used quite cleverly. Good value, great location. The ladies bathroom is not exactly roomy but does the job

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    The spoons.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    The women's bathroom is far away from the ladies' dormitory. The bathroom is quite small. The bathroom has two showers and two toilets. The men's bathroom is located near the ladies' rooms. Generally, the hostel is quite quiet and there is no way around seeing you when you exit the bathroom, kitchen, and ladies' hostel rooms. The Kitchen and eating area.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Loved the location, popular bars and beaches within walking distance. Small hostel but very clean and comfortable. Staff also are very helpful There was nothing I didn't like

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    Close to the city centre and the beach.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    I liked the location and space in the room. The kitchen was also good. The staff was very friendly and helpful all the time. The location is excellent! The toilets were disappointed. The space is very reduced and is it hard to have privacy.

  • Engine customer Jul 2024

    Very clean and friendly staff Nothing, all was good

  • Engine customer Jun 2024

    The manager is really lovely and tries to be helpful but it's not a very nice hostel. At times the place got really dirty, the bathroom floor was flooded, the bins overflowing. The women's bathroom is tiny with little privacy in the loos. And no loo paper.

  • Engine customer Jun 2024

    Very good

    Passable
