We really enjoyed this hostel. It is pretty far away from the beach (about 20-30 min) and you have to take a shuttle or walk to the tram station, and then take the tram down. The staff totally make up for the experience though. They also offer little trips and excursions, which is nice too. The free internet and cheap meals (and a nice kitchen) make up for the location too.

What can I say its a party hostel. Therefore its really noisy and crowded. The staff was nice and the breakfest was a big cearel buffet with toast. The only problem was all the noise.

Loads of fun but a bit of a trek from the beach and town. Great staff!

When I first came I had come from a horrible hostel. When the staff saw how upset I was they were so helpful insisted I take a shower and have some brekfast. They even have an activities director who come around and gives you tips.

Thought this place was great - the social aspect here is strong which some hostels lack. Location is 20mins from centre of town but they have a great shuttle bus backwards and fowards. Rooms are safe and clean. Only thing I would say is that it would benefit from air conditioning in the rooms as it gets pretty hot.

A bit out of the way up a hill, but staff put on a minibus to take you up and down it, very efficient service and a fun hostel with a great bar and good breakfast!

Huge Hostel. Great, helpful staff. They help you plan out your day during breakfast with maps, pictures, and insider tips. Shuttle takes you from the hostel to the nearest tram stop most of the day. Bus or train ride away from all the best beaches in the area and from Monte Carlo. I would recommend it to anyone. Its very fun at night too, the bar is always full of the people staying at the hostel.

I found the location a bit problematic - even though they had vans traveling to the tram station. It was not easily accessible.

20 minutes uphill walk is REALLY strenuous. My shower had draining problems and flooded into our room--kind of disgusting. There's a guy that goes around giving travel advice..that's cool. It was hot when I was there and no A/C so be ware if you are going in July.
