    There were no bins in the rooms so it affected the the cleanliness. No fridge available during my stay.

    Nice rooms and good beds.

    Would 100% recommend.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room with bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I would have enjoyed salt and pepper as free kitchen stuff. BUT! There was free tea and even soluble coffee, this by far makes it up and/but is even more worthy but, in my opinion, less necessary. I am very picky about this I know.

    Check-In and personnel friendly, shown around and everthing without a question. The Hostel offers lockers with a key-chip, something I didn't expect and was positively surprised about. The bunk beds were equippped with a (much too bright though) light, two sockets and two usb plugs. Very nice to charge more devices! A small slot to pack your phone is also mounted to the bed. I'd have wished for another small shelf, but that's ok. Matresses were a bit strange and adjusted to one's body - quite soft but "steady". Never had that before. Sleep was good though. AND: Curtains! I like not being watched while sleeping and that little privacy you can take. The room even had a small barthroom with a shower. I didn't use it as I'm fine with the "public" ones. Kitchen fridge was packed in the beginning, but the evening after my arrival it was ok and relatively clean. Kitchen is overall very well equipped and kept very clean. Labelling was good and the chaos was moderate (and moderate is a very high rating, trust me). The free stuff was very helpful and obviouisly looked after, no dead-end-expired stuff but actually useful additional ingredients. Nothing was taken from my stuff, that also needs to be mentioned. Showers and toilets were clean. Water was was not super hot but enough warm water to enjoy a good shower, roommate had a different experience - unsure about this. Common area is equipped nicely. Location of the hostel is a bit remote but very well reachable by bus. As there was (is until 08/24) a discount of 50% on mobilis-Bus-Multitickets, you can easily take the bus. But actually most of the commutes I just enjoyed walking. What more to write. Would go there again. Good experience.

    The location is not super central so in case you're looking for something very close to the Postiguet Beach or the old town, bear in mind that it's a walk (uphill for some part) for about 20-25 minutes

    Very good facilities, super comfortable and affordable and also great value for money. Staff was also very friendly and overall enjoyed my stay and can definitely recommend. I was travelling alone and didn't feel uncomfortable with anything

    The lighting above the bed it's way too strong also the location of the hostel isn't the top however only 15 min leisure walk to the main attractions.

    Good value for money, I stayed in 16beds room, but the layout it's nice so it doesn't feel crowded at all, privacy curtains for every bed, which is a nice touch, also safe box thay will open with the room key. Bed was comfortable, toilets and showers immaculate.

    Nothing negative, just that the mattress was different from what I’ve tried before. Almost sunk in half, hard to get up 😅

    New hostel, good vibe, incredible friendly owners. Loved it. I’ll come back again ☺️

    The location is fine but you have to walk a bit up a hill to get to the center and the beach

    The bed was comfortable with a curtain and provided electronic lock for locker. I felt very safe. There were good vibes!! I met other solo travelers and the staff was so kind and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and there’s soap in the shower. The common spaces are clean and I was able to meet people / hang out there.
