generally the higher floor bathrooms and toilets were clea, but where I stayed on the ground floor, the two showers and toilet need cleaning a few times during the day as when people come back, they use these first and they were often in need of attention, especially from people arriving in the early hours after a night on the tiles! But I would be very happy to stay here again just because the staff and meals were so much fun and so sociable. Thanks for a great stay

the staff seemed like they didn´t really want to be working there. Some one had their ipod stolen after being there for about an hour. The food was waaaaaay overpriced (but tasty nonetheless) We stayed in the private suite but it was directly underneath the patio so it was not a good room if you wanted to sleep (or get it on because they could hear you as much as you can hear them)
If i had to go there again I´d suggest getting the suite without the bathroom which was by the entrance, also, our suite was constantly humid from the shower in the bathroom.

Great hostel, would recommend it. A couple of the staff were a little bit ... strange though!!!

This is an excellent hostel. The only potential downfall is the walls are all paper thin, so people walking around at 7 in the morning will wake you up and keep you up.

I would not recommend the first floor rooms. Every person arriving late or leaving early will wake you up on their way out the door and they receive minimal natural light.

The hostel and the view from the terrace were great. I was disappointed when told by staff that it was not safe to walk around the immediate area after dark.
