The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was excellent, making for a pleasant stay. The shower had great water pressure, surpassing expectations. We were impressed with the manager, Chris, who had a fantastic personality and were really nice too make our stay enjoyable. The hostel had a great atmosphere, being both fun and relaxing, and ensured a peaceful night's sleep. The facilities, including the garden and pool, were great. The breakfast provided was a step above typical hostel fare, with high-quality products like Bonne Maman jam. The free BBQ on Monday night was pretty good, with delicious food prepared for us. It was evident that the manager cared for the guests, creating an awesome experience. I highly recommend this hostel for a fantastic stay.

The location of the hostel was fantastic, with pubs just around the corner and great for day trips. the atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff were on top of things, ensuring cleanliness despite some messy guests. the curfew was enforced, allowing for a good night's sleep.
Some staff members were rude and inattentive, making the stay uncomfortable for some guests.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for things to see and do nearby. The room was cozy and comfortable, with a warm and comfortable bed. The facilities were top-notch, including a pool table, table tennis, and basketball for some fun activities during our stay. Additionally, the location was convenient, with key attractions and the beach just a short walk away.
One minor drawback was the noise from the window, which was located close to the entry path and made it a bit noisy at times. Another issue was that the window didn't have a lock when open, which could be a bit concerning for security.

The location of the hostel is a bit inconvenient as it is not close to any amenities, but if you don't mind taking buses, it's manageable. the bathrooms are modern and spotlessly clean, providing a pleasant experience. the communal area is cozy and invites social interactions with free barbecues, a pool table, and table tennis. the friendly staff adds to the positive atmosphere, even going as far as offering rides to the train station.
We had a noisy roommate who disturbed our sleep by making noise in the room late at night.
