The place is very nice, in front of the sea, it is a train, with the problem of small bathrooms and not very clean. The location is incredible, in front of the ocean.

Woman on was on reception was very rude. Please note dorm beds don't include the free breakfast. Very unclean place. Great idea but a let down - rooms too cramped, no room to even sit in there with 4 people, no room for any luggage and way too hot!

The location was wonderful, the resturant and staff were excellent, but I felt the shower room could do with better maintenance + cleanliness. The reception staff needed to be friendlier and more helpful, but I would visit again mainly due to the location and novelty value of being on a train

Hi Hostel World, I phoned to confirm this booking before I arrived and was informed that they had a fire and lost all their bookings. I therefore had to make other arrangements. Can you please arrange for my 2% deposit to be returned to me? Thank you. Kind regards, Marika

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT SLEEP IN THE DORMS! RATHER STAY IN THE SEPERATE CABINS IF YOU REALLY PLAN ON GOING!

The breakfast is poor, no cheese or meat, no yogurt. Accomodation is good

"Do not go in the shower with sandy feet. It blocks up the system" Note on the bathroom door. In practice "the system" was a hole straight down onto the train tracks. Great view and a nice beach.
