It was a very nice and clean Hostel! Its right on the Beach, but the Beach isnt close to the City. You have to walk over half an hour or take the tram! It wasnt really funny, beacause not so many people in hostel!

i arived late on the 21march and was greeted with my name on an envelope on the office door and a key inside. the room was ok. the music from downstairs was soooo loud! luckly i was dead tired so slept through it. when i checked out on the 24th i had still not seen any member of staff. i had no idea who to pay andhad no contact details. i had to do the same as them and leave an envelope of cash and keys on the office door!! fingers crossed they got the money!!

I stayed at this hostel for 11 nights, and its been my favourite so far. Such an amazing location, with beach and ocean out the balcony, and a convenient tram stop right outside the hostel directly into the city. Ok its above a very posh and nice pub/club which does get noisy on friday and saturday nights, but its not a huge issue at all. Toilet facilities were great, kithen was good too and common room comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again!!!

Amazing location, but not a regular hostel set up, no activities, staff are generally not there, hostel kind of runs itself! but its a lovely place to stay!

Excellent location beside the beach. Easy access to city on tram right outside the hostel. Don't stay here at the weekend. You have never and will never experience your room vibrate like this! Perfect for rest of the week though.
