Great hostel and awesome staff - highly recommend it. This hostel was great to stay at. Steph (the owner) was more than friendly and hanging out in the evening, drinking together and then going to the nearby bars (I recommend old man's and sandbar afterwards) was great fun. The hostel is in good shape and the rooms and bathrooms are clean. The beds get sprayed to prevent anything like bedbugs once a week. The beds have big storage units beneath them where your whole backpack fits in so that the room looks nice as well, gets easily cleaned and all your valuables are locked away when you're not there. The pool is nice to relax at and the beach is very close. If you need anything the staff makes sure to help you (renting a scooter/motorbike, washing your laundry, helping you with the police after your wallet got stolen (watch out for the ladyboys!)...). I highly recommend it!!

Vibe Analysis
The Tipsy Gypsy Hostel is built around a very social setup: a big communal table, games, drinks, and an easy flow from the hostel to nights out. It suits solo travelers who want a lively place and quick conversation. There is also a quiet hour at 11pm, so the energy does not run nonstop. The staff are a major part of the experience. They are warm, active, and involved in daily activities, and the place often feels welcoming from the moment people arrive. The owner and team are often present, and the hostel has a familiar, home-like feel rather than a stiff one. The location is strong too, with the beach, shops, cafes, and restaurants close by. There is a pool, a bar area, a coffee shop, lockers, curtains on some beds, and a back garden area that gives you a break from the social side. The hostel can be fun, busy, and easy to settle into.
