  • The Hostel is not easy and not hard to find although I drove by it a few times before I saw the small sign. Parking is impossible to find near or around the hostel but I would recommend parking in the town parking garage which is just before the hostel (maybe 200 meters). It is very cheap to park here maybe 1.00 per day (I do not remember). The hostel staff are very nice and of youth. I would not recommend this hostel to an older backpacker or a couple.

  • Mama is like a real mother, and can be counted on to give you a hug, some sympathy and if all else fails, some crepes to pick you up after a long night of partying in the clubs and falling asleep on the beach!

  • Staying at the Rising Cock was the worst hostel experience of my life, even if i've been to more than 12 hostels throughout my trips.

  • Horrible place. No AC. Dirty facilities. Full of meathead Aussies. Condom rappers everywhere. If i wanted this experience id go to Sydney. That might sound great if you like a place full of alpha males and a guy to girl ratio of 5 to 1. and it is expensive.
