I found the beds comfortable and I liked the little curtain for a bit of privacy in the shared room. They were able to accommodate a request for a bottom bunk which was also nice. The only thing I found a bit challenging was the dim lighting everywhere. It made it a bit hard to see at times but overall, I'd stay here again. The location was great - walking distance to almost everything I did. ##### Autumn Lyn Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lilly Nov 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fairly quiet, clean.

Good amenities and close to bus stops. Good restaurant options nearby, and a nice view of the sea. Someone checked in really late (just after midnight), blaring music and talking loudly and waking everyone up, but that was likely an isolated incident. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel, clean, convenient, breakfast option great! ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff here made my stay really lovely from early check in to a smooth check out.

The staff is helpful, kind and welcoming. ##### Beatriz Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### King Yee Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The location of the hostel is convenient. We have booked a room for four and the room is considered a bit small for 4 people and even more difficult to fully open the 4 luggages when the sofa bed is opened. ##### King Yee Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea Sep 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location and vibe, staff was very friendly and helpful. There was construction happening next door which impacted some tour pick-ups but the alternate location is a bus stop only a 5 minute walk. We had a compact room with a private bathroom which was clean and comfortable. ##### Andrea Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerry Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nearby on-street, metered parking took credit card and did not require an app. Welcoming staff. Clean, comfortable room and nice private bathroom. Funky, fun decor. Good breakfast buffet. The bar in the evening had a nice energy, with travelers of all ages mingling. Easy walking distance to city center. ##### Kerry Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing!
