Everything was great! Clean rooms and even the shared bathrooms and shared areas are all super clean. The staff were so helpful! The British guy who took us to the lighthouse, the lovely German girl that does yoga and the Spanish girls at the reception. Thanks everyone ❤️

LOVED the shuttle - I think it was important given the location, I'm glad it was included in the stay. The surfboards also a great touch that they were complimentary. The pool bar area was stunning! Great having an aircon in the bedroom too. Bathrooms felt cleaner than other hostels I have stayed at.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location- walking distance to everything. Friendly, helpful staff and nice clean facilities and rooms. The pool area was also very nice, as well as plenty of outdoor and indoor eating/ chilling space. Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!
