Great hostel! I really love the lounge area! It was chill and quiet and had a wonderful coffee shop vibe. I enjoyed my stay; everything was great. The internet was a bit unsteady on the upper floors, but other than that, I'd stay again for sure.

This is the best place to stay for people with a lower budget. We booked a room with a private bathroom. It’s in the city centre/next to the beach and the pier! The facilities could use some TLC but it’s not that bad. Would definitely come back here again. Thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
First got there, the man at reception wasn’t the friendliest. Gave us a hostel room when that was not on the booking at all, the room was completely falling apart, extremely dirty pillows and the cleanliness was just awful (photo evidence), could barely sleep due to upstairs people, constantly banging and stomping, we need complain but nothing was done about it. The beds themselves were super uncomfy.

Perfect stay!
Have stayed here a couple of times previously and it was just as good! Room was huge, tidy, view was excellent and I think it’s great value for money. Located so close to everything too. Staff were kind and service was good.
