This is the most wonderful hostel… i haven’t stayed in a hostel for many years, and i was a bit nervous… i didn’t want a noisy party vibe but i didn’t want to spend a lot either so i took a risk. I was so happy here. The owners are so thoughtful and attentive, and the guests are tranquil and respectful. My room was extremely comfortable with multiple surfaces and storages spaces including a wardobe, and there was a balcony. The kitchen was huge and great as I love to shop locally and cook when I travel. The location is perfect because you are connected to eveything (it’s very central) but you have great local spots all around. The cafe directly downstairs a great place too- I recommend it as well. The hostel rooftop is also such a wonderful place to relax with lovely views- perfect for when you’re feeling a bit fatigued from your travels. This was such a lovely experience with not a single complaint!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    The property was very well presented and offered a comfortable stay. It is located at the far end of the promenade, but we felt safe walking back and forth to the restaurants. The rooms are well appointed and clean. Kitchen is well equipped.
