    The doors of the dorm rooms are so annoying! When you open or close the door it take a minute for an electric sound to lock it. In the night it’s very annoying. There could be activities.

    Great location, nice bed and dorm with ac:)

    Cool and Vibrant place to stay

    Since it was a shared dorm, I had a slightly disturbed sleep due to noises from the bed underneath. My friends on the other hand didn't experience any issue. Probably, I was out of luck that day :)

    This was my first time staying in a dorm. One of the best places to stay in San Pedro as it was very close to the shore and the price was very affordable. Everything was so clean and the staff were very friendly.

    -One suggestion for the renovation: Bunkbeds in which you can sit up straight (as I was bumping my head all the time)

    -The dorm I stayed in was spacious enough and had comfortable beds with curtain, light, locker and socket -Enough toilets + showers (at least when I was there I never had to wait) -BEST SHOWERS I had in months -WiFi worked well (also in the dorm) -Nice outside/patio + pool area -Good location in San Pedro close to the ferry dock, shops, restaurants and the center -Free drinking water -Very friendly and helpful staff -Good on-site restaurant with very attentive staff -I understood there’s a renovation upcoming, so I’ll guess it will only be better when they’re done!

    I din’t care for the dogs that wonder inside the facility. The dogs were harmless.

    Great staff always willing to help and make guest comfortable. Love the Meet and Greet the staff put together. The Sandbar had some of the best food. Drinks great too.

    This place exceeded my expectations. The ac in the room worked wonderfully, the pool aesthetic was inviting and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in! I didn have trouble with my door lock not working but the front desk fixed that immediately! Staff was wonderful and welcoming and was so helpful in getting me a golf cart rental. I would absolutely stay again.

    Bathrooms were quite dated and water pressure was low. There was pretty much zero water pressure and no hot water in the morning - but I had to leave very early so maybe it was not on at the time.

    Loved the curtained bed cubicles with power and lighting and hangers, good AC, nice storage and lockers, free water, bed was soft and comfortable, nice restaurant and bar below ... pool looked nice and clean and inviting for relaxing. Good social atmosphere with both travelers and locals. Beautiful waterfront property. For somewhat of a energetic feeling hostel and a lively central location, it was surprisingly quiet and made for a good sleep. Reception and check in staff was so very nice, friendly, and helpful. 5 stars to them. Internet coverage was quite good throughout the property and the rooms.
