    Great atmosphere, and quiet time after 10 so you can still get a sleep in. Plenty of options for entertainment.

    Amazing hostel, with a good location only a few minutes walk to the supermarket. The pizza is great and the staff is very friendly. I also really enjoyed the surfing option.

    The atmosphere of this place is second to non. It is chilled, relaxed and offers all you need for a backpacker stay. Bed was comfy, if a little wobbly. Multiple kitchens on site, and cleaning facilities right behind.

    It is an active and comfort place. The painting art on the wall so unique and express the relax melody.

    The self catering kitchens have improved since I was here previously, and there is also a kitchen serving evening meals, mostly pizzas I think, which is well thought of. I love the outdoor spaces and the beautiful murals. It’s quite quirky, self...

    The moment you walk through the gate, you get a feeling of calm and friendliness. People relaxing in hammocks, music playing in the background. Very welcoming.
