We thought it was a cheap hotel but turns out it was a youth hostel. The staff were brilliant and because we were traveling as a family, we all had a great time because everyone was catered for. Loved the location... 5 minutes to the sea. Loved the freedom the older children could have.

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. Lovely friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room. Clean towels delivered daily. Felt safe. Booked a triple room and was plenty big enough for 3 adults. Room had a microwave and fridge and hob but didn’t use any cooking facilities.

    This is a budget hotel. Rooms were perfectly OK and I slept well. It was cheap and we got what we paid for. Everything was OK.

    Great location near the museums and beach. Modern development which was quiet and close to the beach front restaurants. Great communication from the owners in a block that felt very safe. Clean and tidy.

    Brand new furniture and fittings, spotlessly clean in a good safe location. Bit far out of main town but providing you familiarize yourself with the bus system before you go getting around is simple. From the rail station to the flat it is necessary to take 2 buses We were visiting local friends so they were able to show us the ropes but we would have struggled on our own. The buses are all free which makes for a very cheap stay. I would be booking again in 2023 but unfortunately we will be visiting with our dog and it is not pet friendly.
