Nice place to stay for surfers. The location is really good - only a few steps from Fistral beach as well as from the city centre. Unfortunately the price for the accomodation is far to high. The facility could use a renovation and should be cleaned occasionally. The bathroom was dirty when we arrived and was not cleaned during our stay. However, the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Very Basic rooms, staff not very inviting or cheerful. Would have liked better service for the price. Wont be staying here again.

All pillows were badly stained & had no protectors. Nowhere to hang coat nor bedside light. Bathroom was 2 flights down. Communal loo 1 flight down - all rather inconvenient. For same money, I could’ve got luxury modern guesthouse en-suite room w/ cooked breakfast. £50-70 is a lot for a hostel, especially one that’s quite run down.

schlimmste Nacht meines Lebens. Nicht zu 100 % dem Hostel geschuldet, eher den Mitschläfern im 8 Bett Zimmer.

Relaxed, friendly atmosphere and great staff. Not the cleanest of places, but for the price it's perfect. Would stay here again.

no lockers in rooms, sink right next to my pillow which splashed me when other guests were using it. Otherwise generally social place and good location

This is a really nice hostel. The decoration is very creative evoking travel and comforting. The location is perfect: in between town and fiistral, right next to sainsbury's, town and a very nice Thai food truck. The common kitchen, dining table, TV room, and lounge make it very convivial and easy to get to know people. To top this all off, the staff are incredibly sweet and easy going. I would recommend.
