We had a private room with shared facilities and stayed for 1 night. The showers and toilets were really clean and well maintained, we especially liked that you has to use your room key to get access to them. Shared kitchen was great, had most thing but it did lack sharp knives. Would recommend staying as location was great - close to beach and shops.

Pool looked inviting but was not utilised by us. Rooms were clean, there would be some advantage of a little bar fridge in each room which would make things a little easier. Overall though bedding was clean and confortable, bathrooms were very clean and the staff were very approachable and able to assist with all enquiries.

Stayed in deluxe room with own en-suite. Room was clean & comfortable. Ideal for my short-term stay (3 nights), albeit a little expensive for a hostel. Had to close bathroom door overnight as fan would stay on for some reason which was loud. Didn’t use the facilities on site but staff seemed friendly & overall the building was well maintained. Pool also looked clean but didn’t use it.
