9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
Had everything for a hostel stay, small common area and kitchen which is nice. Bedrooms and beds were satisfactory. Good size luggage storage under the bed and each room had a fan, small cooler and big window.
Not my preference but the bathroom was tiny with two toilets and two showers all in one common room so lacked privacy and space for any toiletries.

Staff super friendly and welcoming. Very helpful at all times. The rooms are common areas are very clean and convenient, enormous kitchen! Location is awesome. Close to everything and all the nice beaches. I'll definitely be coming back!
The bathrooms and showers are a little small, doors in the shower a bit see-through and the doors for the toilet don't close properly. So that doesn't give you a lot of privacy. It didn't really bothered me all that much, but I think it could be improved.
7 / 10Good·Sep 2026
Good beds, good bathroom, kitchen, etc. Location practical, staff kind
Too hot at night, difficult to set up the ventillators, some noise from the street and roommates (within acceptable levels).
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Good location - close to restaurants and not a far walk to beaches. Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable enough, decent size and lockers were fine size. Had a washing machine which was a bonus.
Kitchen wasn’t always clean and tidy - obviously this can be due to the people staying but I didn’t think it was upkept well. Woman’s bathroom was TINY! No privacy in the toilet or showers.
