10 bed dorm was very crowded & tight, however the beds were nice and the WiFi was good. Breakfast was small but okay.

Beautiful place with a great atmosphere and good music. The dorm bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. The reception staff was very helpful and explained everything about the hostel and its services clearly. Highly recommended!

As much as I enjoyed my stay at this hostel, I did get very injured in my bed. While in the top bunk, I put my pants on and my leg when through the floor and got very cut up and bruised. I was unable to do many activities I had intended to after this incident and the only resolution I was given was that they replaced the floor. Besides that, it was a lovely place and I met lovely people!

Stayed for 3 days. Vibes were excellent at the hostel. Staff were great. Especially Wascar. Always greeted me by name with a smile. Made me feel at home.

This hostel is seriously average … if that. If you value your comfort, please do not book the dorm without AC.

The hostel was nice and everyone is very friendly and it was close to the main part of town. however on 2/4 of my nights there there was very loud music and I couldn’t sleep due to how close the dorms are to where the music is. I understood this was a party hostel when booking but it was genuinely impossible to sleep. Breakfast was okay but the coffee was horrible and tasted off the first time I tasted it I thought it had rotten milk in the pitcher but it was just the taste of the coffee. The ...

Unfortunately didn’t enjoy my stay here. A/c and personal fans are nice. My bed was right next to the door so didn’t sleep well (another bed might be different). Included breakfast was decent. Majority of staff here were unhelpful and not friendly, felt like I was bothering them. Biggest issue is no water in the afternoon and all night for 3 of my 4 days, so no showers and toilets were grim! Lady said it was a town issue but my friends at other places didn’t have this. Showers & rooms need...

Hostel surcoté attention ! L’emplacement n’est pas très central, les sanitaires et douche sont supers vieilles et sales. Les chambres se sont des clapiers à lapin, la clim ne fonctionne pas bien, ça pue et tout le monde met son ventilateur toutes la nuit on se croirait dans une usine avec le bruit. Aucun équipement dans la cuisine. La piscine est sale. Seul point positif, les soirées qu’ils organisent peuvent être sympa.

The vibe was weird and not much going on but this could have just been whilst we stayed there. The water was off on a number of occasions but wasn't a massive issue. The staff are friendly and happy to help though. Overall, the hostel is in a great location and it was an enjoyable stay
