    The smell in the bathroom

    Super welcoming host, good value and nice atmosphere. There was a reggae live music on Saturday which was cool. Overall nice stay and close to the beach.

    The staff (Daniele at the reception) was super helpful and welcoming. The place was clean, it had a nice terrace to have a drink or dinner and to watch sunset. There was also a small pool. The breakfast buffet was really good. We read in some other reviews that there was a fee for using the kitchen but that is NOT true. No extra charges for anything.

    The drains in the bathroom smell awful, had to keep the door closed at all times but being in there was not fun. Wish the eggs were attended to a bit more as I only got the last bits and tried waiting for more with no luck.

    Great location, a short walk to the beach and restaurants nearby. Staff were lovely. Person who check us in was very kind. Beautiful set-up of the coworking space. Parking in the back was nice to have. The bed we had was very comfortable and the ac worked well. Loved the room we had, (room #1 I believe) in the building beside the hostel (still was able to use the amenities), had 2 sets of patio doors so loved using the side one and felt we had great privacy there. Walked right out onto the 2nd pool too which was lovely. Water pressure was excellent. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was a good spread, warm croissants, buns, cheese, meat, salad, mini muffins, yogurt with toppings, bread with butter & Nutella, eggs, turkey bacon, juice, fruit.

    Quite a 'tourist' vibe here , perhaps because of it's size and lack of cosy feeling. Not a grocery store nearby. Not the fault of the hostel , but it would probably mean I don't come here again, unless the hostel starts selling produce.

    Good facilities . Big place. Nice to have bar and cafe option . Enjoyed having female only dorm option too! important for me. Helpful person at reception.

    Charged €4 for a towel and €1 for a locker. Only one toilet worked for the shared bathroom of both 8 men and 8 women. Thankfully the night I stayed was quiet with only about six of us sharing that bathroom.

    It was a fun style. Breakfast was very nice. Staff was pretty friendly. Bar/ play room was a comfortable space to hangout and have drinks.

    Some facilities are quite worn off. We had to change room due to that our door was unable to lock. There was a bartender at night who was not friendly at all.

    They staff was friendly (especially reception and the morning staff at the bar) and supported us with changing rooms to one on the adyacent building as the door from the room we booked was unable to lock. The bar has a nice atmosphere and overall we were comfortable.

    Very nice atmosphere in this hostel close to the beach. I liked that I could use the co-working room as a quiet reading space and the bar as a place to socialize.

    They charge you 5€ for a towel. Not a big deal just a bit strange.

    Great location, nice staff. Live music on some evenings, outdoor shower with swimming pool and place to leave your surfboards and wetsuits. Would definitely recommend.

    The windows were not soundproof, so whenever there were people talking outside until the late hours, we could hear everything perfectly. If you are looking for a quiet place, be aware that there are a lot of young surfers around all the time. Our room was next to some kind of kitchen ventilator, which caused consistent noise in our room. The room door didn't lock properly so when we left the room, you could actually open it without the keycard. When we went to sleep, we weren't sure if the door was locked or not.

    The location was perfect, amazing view from the balcony. Coffee tasted great! The breakfast was super. They have a bar downstairs where you can have burgers, snacks and drinks. Everything tasted great. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

    Bathrooms could have been cleaner, and rooms were too crowded (didn't even see the balcony as a bed was standing in front of the door). Not the hostel's fault, but: if you're hiking, be aware that the nearest supermarket is another 2,6 km away.

    Nice roof terrace, friendly staff
