Très bon emplacement, la chambre est simple et correspond au prix donc très bien. Un micro onde au niveau de la bouilloire dans le couloir serait un vrai plus.

Im Hostel gibt es leider keine Küche. Im mixed Dorm geht die Badtür nicht ganz zu, was ich als junge Frau etwas problematisch empfinde, da auch ein Ü50 Jähriger mit im Zimmer war. Nach ansprechen wurde gesagt es wird sich nachdem Wochenende drum gekümmert, da war ich dann aber schon weg. Aber sonst wirkte es recht sauber und die Lage war super.

Do NOT stay in the mixed dorms as a woman. the bathroom door didn’t close all the way so you could literally see in the bathroom. the staff offered to fix the door but told me even if it closes all the way there would be no lock, which is insane for a mixed dorm. my room was all all men above the age of 40 and one of them literally jacked off in the bunk across from me in broad daylight. the staff DID call security and kick him out for this, but the bathroom still didn’t lock.

Super süßes Hostel, mit sehr guter Lage, Leider wusste man nicht das Passwort vom Tor weshalb man immer anrufen musste um rein gelassen zu werden.

No common area (despite description) so zero social vibes. The rooms are ok and clean, but feels like an anonymous hotel rather than a hostel.

Great location, nice staff. But the rest is just not good. There will be loud music blasting into the rooms every night. For the shared dorms, the only available washrooms are the ensuites which offer zero privacy. The atmosphere is really just ok. There’s a bar, but it’s open to the public which doesn’t bode well for easily connecting with other travellers. There are no other communal spaces. The bar can’t even be used during the day to do work because there are no outlets.

Wow that was cool The team was really friendly and the room was super clean and comfortable with my private bathroom I didn’t have to go further than walking down stairs to catch a vibe at the famous Only Fools bar (burger was unreal) Close to the promenade and amazing beach’s As advertised, stoked
