    Nothing bad really. The only thing I would change would be to isolate an area to hang out after lockdown time at 10 or 11 pm. Otherwise you don't have anywhere to hang out after that time other than in your room. Again this is not something negative itself, it keeps the night quiet.

    We stayed in a 3 beds room with my friends. We had private toilet in the room. It was clean and tidy. Nice place to stay while driving up or down the coast.

    The rooms are a bit small if they would be completely occupied.

    Very nice and helpful staff. The outdoor common areas are really nice and nearly everything is under a roof (which was good because it rained quite a lot).

    I had the private single room, bed was a standard single (not a king single), so a little on the short side.

    Staff very friendly. Room and facilities were very tidy and clean. Excellent location, easy walk to main restaurant strip. Lots of parking.

    I have my favorite rooms, I'm going to stick to those from now on. The rooms near the kitchen were too noisy for me with people visiting and talking next to my room. They were nice enough to move to the general reception area and I finally fell asleep. Thanks guys!

    Always clean and the staff are amazing!

    Only thing I probably wouldn't book this room in summer because it only had a fan and was front facing so it did get some heat. Staying in April it was fine though and for the price well worth it.

    This hostel has a really nice feel to it, I felt welcome and comfortable. Lady at reception was excellent! It's centrally located, I could walk to get some dinner just around the corner. The room and bathroom facilities were clean and cosy. I got a private room and it was perfect for a night's stay.

    All the facilities and the common areas. I think that even the rooms were very clean and very good mood. People were nice and it's good to have a hostel where you can feel at home because it's not a big one in terms of rooms, but you still have spaces.

    We loved it here. The room was clean and comfortable and so was the shower and toilet area. There was a really nice social atmosphere and lots to do including ping pong, pool and chess. The kitchen area was well maintained. The staff are very hardworking and keep everything nice.
