Overall good vibe pool area is really nice there is a nice social area, I would just say very standard stay you get what you pay for. Kitchen is a bit small hard to cook sometimes when there’s everyone trying to have dinner, rooms are decent. Hostel didn’t really stand out in a bad way yeah just pretty average I would say

Personnel très gentil, juste la cuisine n’est pas pratique et l’ensemble des équipements n’est pas propre.

super lage, sehr viele regeln. Mein Zimmer hatte kein Licht und wo ich zur Reception gegangen bin um zu fragen, wurde nicht viel geholfen.

A LOT of long terms staying there. I barley had no place to place my bag. The bathroom was very nasty. They would have to clear it better. Changed hostel efter one night. It was difficult to sleep, because people was partying just outside the room.

Auberge sympa, par contre j’étais dans une chambre où la clim était à fond il faisait limite froid, on juste un drap pour dormir donc tout dépends si les colocataires de chambres augmentent ou pas la clim mais on peut vite avoir la nuit. C’est pas une auberge pour se reposer non plus il y a quand même beaucoup de bruits le soir. Mais globalement bien placé et accessible

I don’t usually leave bad reviews, however this hostel needs major improvements. I stayed in a 14 bed dorm where there was one unclean toilet and shower for 14 people which is absolutely ridiculous as there are no communal showers in the hostel. The kitchen was very weird as you somehow had to ask reception for every pot and pan that you used and was very dirty likely due to it being over crowded constantly- needs to be bigger. Only thing good about this hostel is its easy access to the beac...

Very basic accommodation, the rooms were not clean, a wet mop that stank of chemicals was dragged round very lazily in the mornings. The kitchen was a mess and smelt awful, and was not big enough for the amount of people attempting to use it at once. Bugs crawling up the hostel wall with creaky beds. 14 people in a room that could not accommodate that amount of people.

Small friendly hostel. Room was spacious, had an AC and we also had a bathroom in our room. Nice outside area. Kitchen closes at 9.30pm and you had to “rent” cutting boards, pans/pots, at the reception with your passport which was a bit annoying but at least you knew the dishes were clean

Things in this hostel just didn’t make a lot of sense. There weren’t enough lockers for everyone in the room. The kitchen was open at 5:30 am but you needed to borrow pots/pans/knives from the reception which didn’t open until 8:00am. The shared washroom was closed from 10:00 to 7:00am. So ultimately, this place wasn’t great for early risers. Not super clean as well. However the staff were nice and the vibes were pretty good for the price. Has potential to be a cool place.

I don’t usually leave reviews complaining, but the rooms at this hostel are absolutely unbearable and impossible to sleep in. I understand that they advertise there is no aircon, but I have stayed at other hostels with no aircon and they are nowhere near as hot. The air was trapped in the room, leaving it to smell. If you want to stay at a hostel around the same price, walk down the street to Surf Inn for a better experience.

Great location and vibe. Stayed in the 20 bed mixed room for a night and have no complaints.

One shower / toilet between 12 beds. Super tight dorm, so messy, could lose your stuff so easily. No aircon and fan completely ineffective only pointing at one bed and barely doing anything anyway.

Honestly not a bad place at all, the pool is nice and the open area is a good place to chat and be social. My only issues were that my pillow was two small lumps shoved into a pillow case, the toilet in our room made noise 24/7 with got rather annoying and the showers temperature would flip from scolding hot to to freezing without any rhyme or reason. The kitchen was also very tiny and couldn’t fit many people at a time. The staff were lovely though and the cafe was a nice touch

It was terrible! No air conditioning, it was so hot that nobody could sleep. The room was completely filthy, and there was a cockroach in it. The staff seemed uninterested.
