The room was great for the night and as we had to book last minute the staff were very accommodating there are peacocks that come and say hi as well beautiful

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    We really enjoyed our stay . The only thing I would say is the bunk beds take up a lot of room . 4 people in that room would be pretty full. On the good side our dog found her safe place under the bunk beds . A shelf in the bathroom would be a great asset . The lock was difficult very hard to push the key in and perhaps the door could be replaced or painted on the inside

    It's in a really great location, close to the bayswater beachfront bar and a cheap place to stay for the night. For a last-minute trip and for the price, it is good value. Just don't have high expectations.

    Easy to find in a great location opposite the beach. Excellent restaurants just down the street. No street noise, room was clean and very spacious. It is budget but didn't lack anything.
