Personnel incroyablement accueillant, attentionné et agréable. L’emplacement est parfait pour aller n’importe où : au port, à la plage, dans la vieille ville, dans les bars,…

Ostello molto carino in centro storico, lontano dalle vie molto rumorose della movida. Una piacevole terrazza, camere grandi e pulite. Lo staff è davvero gentilissimo e delizioso! Ci hanno permesso di lasciare le nostre valigie fino alla partenza del nostro bus e di poterci rilassare in terrazza in attesa della partenza nonostante il check in sia al mattino. Si respira un'aria familiare e accogliente! Tutto perfettamente pulito e in ordine! Molto consigliato

Pros : - private bathroom - small chambers (dormitory of 6) - very clean - very professional crew Cons : - No lock on the dormitory - No curtain for the beds (it could up the game a LOT)

La ubicación del hostel es excelente. Las instalaciones y la limpieza están bien. Pero fue imposible dormir hasta las 3 am porque la habitación da a una calle principal y había muchísimo ruido y el personal de la tarde no era muy simpático.

Wouldn’t recommend sleeping in the mixed dorm, beds are very close together and have no curtain. Really good location about 3 mins walk from the beach and right in the middle of town. Does get loud on the street during the night but it’s not too bad. No atmosphere.

Lage Super! Schlecht: Kühlschrank dreckig/ Küche stinkt, kein Absperren im Frauenschlafsaal, andere kommen einfach ins Zimmer, zu wenige Toiletten, Bett und vor allem Handtücher dreckig, wenig Privatsphäre Der „Sicherheitsservice“ sind die Rezeptionisten, die einfach nur auf einen Bildschirm schauen und sich auch gelegentlich ablenken lassen. Ich habe mich nicht sicher gefühlt.

Très belle hostel très propre ! Belle cuisine et terrasse. Ambiance assez calme. Belle emplacement, à 2 minutes des plages et de la rue des bars mais on entend pas la musique le soir !

Good location, not any activities when I stayed there. So not very social. Close to the beach!

Beware of the Bed bugs. Found some in the basement rooms and notified the staff, they were very apologetic and we were able to switch rooms. This has clearly been an issue for them before. The whole hostel needs to be cleaned before they should let anymore people stay there. Besides that, it was a clean and small hostel in a great location very close to the beach. Ok bathrooms and a small but tidy kitchen.

Pros: Located at the heart of the town and right by the beach, great beds and a big drawer to lock your stuff in Cons: Not safe because you could not lock the room you were sleeping in so everybody could just enter, there was no option to lock your luggage/ no luggage room and the bathroomcwas rather unclean.

Overall ok for 2 nights. We stayed in the room downstairs and there was a smell in our en-suite bathroom. I preferred the bathroom/shower upstairs. I wouldn’t say that our dorm was « deluxe » as they call it though. Beds are comfy and towels are included in the price you pay; you dont have to rend them like at other hostels. The hostel is extremely well situated!

It is located right in the center of town, so it's very accessible to everything and yet it's calm in the hostel. Everyone was super friendly and you can easily meet people on the terrace ! The hostel also offers trips and activities in the area which saves you the hassle of finding a place or being scammed online, I went on a great boat trip and saw dolphins. Overall very good experience
