Super chill hostel. Atmosphere is very social and the hostel revolves around the beautiful common area. Rooms are basic, washrooms too. But it’s all you really need if you aren’t too fussy

Très mauvais rapport qualité prix, installation vraiment plus que basique dans les chambre. Seul point positif la cuisine

Ist okay aber schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Würde nicht nochmal dort hin. Lage ist gut aber sonst nicht so toll. Betten wie im Gefängnis, Klima ist erst ab 21.00 Uhr an und es riecht etwas streng in den Zimmern.

The red head girl who checked me in was so rude, the hostel itself was gross, and dirty. The beds were hard to get into, it felt like a prison. I ended up leaving and getting a hotel after my second day. The only one who was nice was the manager. I would never stay here again.

Há uma variedade de nacionalidades que você vai encontar. Você pode alugar prancha de surf se quiser. Tem uma cozinha ´ótima para guardar seus alimentos e cozinhar. Um espaço com piscina muito confortável.

I did not like the hostel at all. The beds were super simple, the room was super dark and I changed accommodation after a night. It’s not social at all. I liked it better in Pura Vida Hostel down the street.

Increíble lugar. La gente que trabaja muy cálida y siempre atenta a que uno esté bien y resolver problemas, siempre limpio, con una muy buena ubicación, sin ruidos a la noche y una cocina muy bien equipada para cocinarse y guardar comida (importante para mochileros) Además que tengan mascotas es un plus para los que amamos los animales. Volvería mil veces. Pura vida.

Fijne huiselijke sfeer, lieve mensen! Beetje krappe kamer, maar genoeg plekken ok te douchen en te chillen.

The hostel has a very nice common area wich makes it very social! Dorms are very clean and the kitchen also has everything you need. Just one shower with hot water tho. You can also Book Surfing lessons in the Hostel and the staff will help you out with and other questions aswell. I had a great stay there and met a lot of nice people! I recommend it for solo traveling!

Staff and atmosphere were great. Cleanliness understandably hard to maintain in a 12-bed dorm. Lockers available but no lock on bedroom door.

Great staff and a great place to meet people! I found only one warm shower, the one next to the kitchen. Ar conditioning in the room is very cold, but in the night I asked staff to change temperature they were nice and did change it.

A bit more of a party hostel. So not as clean and comfortable but good if that’s your vibe, the bathrooms have drainage problem so everything is pretty dank 24/7. The kitchen is big and there’s lots of communal space, staff are very friendly and helpful. AC is turned on at night
