I'm overwhelmed by my time at Tangerine Dream Hostel, led by the incredible couple Alexa and Christian. From the moment I stepped in, I could feel the love in the air, making me instantly feel at home. Staying here felt like being with the best of friends. Meeting you, Alexa & Christian, has been a true enrichment. Your harmonious partnership and the love you share reflect in the hostel's atmosphere. You are a fantastic team that has truly inspired me. Like many others in this hostel, I initially booked for just one night but ended up extending my stay to a whole week. Lucky for me, as many guests who checked out returned because they found it to be the best place. If I weren't undergoing yoga training, I would stay even longer. Alexa and Christian are incredibly helpful, answering all questions and guiding you to the tastiest restaurants. The lounge area and reception feel like hanging out in a friend's living room when you enter the hostel. There's a pool table and a TV for Netflix, a kitchen, and a charming outdoor space where guests gather. The hostel is brand new, super clean, and bright, providing real duvets that reminded me of home, ensuring a comfortable sleep. Every day, there was complimentary delicious coffee and fruit. I met only wonderful people during my stay, creating an easy and laid-back atmosphere. A big thank you to you, Alexa and Christian, for giving me such a wonderful time. I already miss you and look forward to seeing you again in a month. Come by and experience this magical place at Tangerine Dream Hostel ✨🌞🫶

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 stay was really good, it’s cheap compared to other places here on the island. The Room is basic but has everything you need! It’s clean in the room and I didn’t have any animals in my room! Soufiane is such a great guy, and is doing everything to make your stay as good as possible!

    Fantastic friendly hostel in a great location. I stayed in the 5 person dorm - rooms were big and clean and the bed very comfy - the bathroom is actually really cool. All the hostel staff are so friendly and helpful and made me feel very welcome throughout my stay. There's a really high quality pool table as well! Will definitely stay at Tangerine Dream again - thank you :)

    EVERYTHING!!! it was welcoming, felt safe, great location, very good value for money, the beds were super comfortable, friendly atmosphere but most of all the thing that really made our stay here special was the host, he was so friendly and helpful, he gave us suggestions on where to go and offered to get tickets for events for us. Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough.

    Very friendly staff. Nice chill out area. Comfy mattresses. They've also just opened their very own bar! Great location overall. The host, Boy, helped us out loads with booking cheap scooters and our outgoing ferry. Hugely recommend. Thanks for our stay.
