    The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. There were daily activities and evening socials, so there was always something fun to do and people to hang out with. The hostel was cozy and clean, with plenty of chill-out areas and entertainment options like a pool table and darts. Plus, they even provided towels on request. Special shoutout to Will, the hostel's driver, who made getting to and from the bus a breeze. I wish I could have stayed longer!

    Couldn't recommend this hostel more!

    The hostel could benefit from providing sharper kitchen knives ' use.

    I got great value for my money at this hostel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient. The staff treated me with warmth and made me feel welcome throughout my stay.

    The breakfast option could be improved with more variety and options available.

    I had such an incredible time at this awesome hostel! From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel right at home. The chilled vibe and cozy atmosphere were exactly what we were looking for. The facilities were clean and accessible, with comfortable beds in the dorms and curtains for privacy. There were plenty of places to relax, including a kitchen, lounge area, and game tables. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, providing great suggestions for activities and making sure everyone had a great time. And of course, I can't forget to mention the adorable and lovable hostel mascot, Chili!

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    The hostel provided a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, making me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to assist me during my stay. Additionally, the location of the hostel was perfect, with beautiful beaches, shops.

    One aspect that could be improved upon is the lack of organized activities to help guests connect with other travelers. While there were some spontaneous events, I was hoping for more opportunities to socialize and meet new people.

    We had an amazing time at this hostel! The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by supermarkets and cute cafes. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms had big fans to keep us cool. We also loved the great atmosphere and the sense of community among the staff and other guests. Despite being an older building, it was relatively clean and well-maintained. We enjoyed the free pancake breakfast and the beautiful art around the hostel. The staff and locals were very knowledgeable about the area, providing us with great tips for exploring. we had a fantastic stay and would definitely come back.

    What an incredible find! I stayed at this fantastic hostel for over a week and it was an absolute blast. The staff were so welcoming and created a fun, open vibe that made it easy to meet new people. The location was perfect, just a quick walk to both the beach and the town center. And let's not forget the free pancakes in the morning and occasional free pizza in the evening - unbeatable! The communal, hippy-esque atmosphere was exactly what I had in mind for a backpacker experience. The modern showers and bathrooms were a pleasant surprise, and having Netflix in the room was an added bonus. I had an amazing time here and would definitely stay again!

    100% Recommend this hostel.

    Dieses Hotel bietet ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, vor allem wenn man das Frühstück berücksichtigt. Die Lage ist praktisch, besonders wenn man das Bussystem oder das U-Bahn-System nutzt. Die Angestellten sind freundlich und das Zimmer war mit grundlegenden Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet. Trotz einiger Lärmbelästigung aufgrund der Lage im 17. Stockwerk, wurde mir eine Nacht gratis angeboten. Das Frühstück war ausreichend und das Essen frisch.

    Alles war in Ordnung.
