    Could be cleaned a bit more often. Didn’t have towels when we asked for them

    Very central, close to bars and nightlife.

    Comfy small hostel. The staff were fabulous, so friendly and helpful. The rooms were basic but had all you needed, with big lockers that came with keys. Our dorm had a big balcony with tables and chairs and a nice view. The rooftop is nice to chill, some dumbbells and yoga mats if you wanna workout. The kitchen was good, small but fully functional for cooking. The bathrooms were hit and miss, no sink in one, so you needed to use the kitchen sink to wash your hands, the downstairs one was nicer and bigger. The water pressure/temp was unreliable in the upstairs one and the curtain was a little worse for wear, but all small issues. Location was perfect, near bars and restaurants, close to the beach, nice views. Overall I loved this place. Thanks guys ✌️

    There was no kettle in the kichen, but a microwave did ok. Some small lights next to beds and also curtains would be great.

    Nice location, right next to inexpensive bars and fast food places. My room had a terrace to hang out.

    Stairs. There's a decent amount of stairs . The bathroom wasn't the greatest, but it was clean.

    My room was really nice . Came with a locker and a key so you could safely store your belongings. There was a small kitchen upstairs you could cook in. The location was good , a 7-minute walk to a supermarket and 3 minutes into the city center where there are lots of bars and restaurants.

    The only thing that bothered me was the constant noise outside of the room because of a pub. However, it is a very lively destination so that is to be expected. The windows in the rooms are good enough not to let the noise interfere with sleep.

    The hostel is great with friendly and accommodating staff, even after your check-out ir before the check-in (no problem with leaving luggage there or using their facilities). Would recommend to anyone who wants to travel at an affordable price and meet friendly people.

    Was loud at night, but was ok. Facilities in the showers could improve like hangers or place to put soap, minor details, and the parts of the building are repaired to make look cleaner and newer.

    Central and friendly staff. Good place to meet people for sure and plenty of options to eat and drink.

    Amazing location! The hosts were so nice, they make it super easy to meet people (very helpful as a solo traveler). They also own the Macarena hostel, and that had a very nice area to hangout with everyone.

    Horrible thing was that the hostel is right next to the club so until 1.30-2 am no way you can sleep, the music is sooo loud so rather join the people than try to rest and sleep. It's good hostel for partying

    Owner was super friendly and nice, everything was clean, there is rooftop, nice location in the city centre

    The dormroom doors didn't lock and everyone could just come inside. Staff came into our rooms unannounced and even used one of our lockers even though they didn't stay in our room. I wished the rooms had a code or a card to feel safer. Also the shower rooms don't make any sense: to have 3 showers in one room, if I enter alone, I will lock the door and therefore block the other two showers. Plus the toilets inside. Also the beds were very squeaky and didn't have any mini lamps or hooks to hang stuff, which can be very handy.

    I was moved to the Macarena Hostel because it was a quieter area. Tommy was SO GREAT. He really has passion for his job and takes care of his guests and hangs out. I liked the pool table and the kitchen was pretty nice as well. The showers are new and fancy. Location is great, you can walk to several beaches from there, the city center and night life are also super close. The people I met there were great and I had a really nice time.

    It’s a bit noisy at night because the hostel is located above the bar

    The location was super nice and staff were really welcoming. I got check in earlier. The room and bathroom are clean.

    There are only two toilets available in the hostel, and in high season this could cause issues

    Stayed here before so knew exactly what to expect. Lovely hostel to stay in, great to easily meet others, especially up on the rooftop terrace

    Had to wait quite a bit for hot water while showering. There was no sink next to the toilet to wash your hands, so you had to do it in the kitchen or on another floor.

    Good location and a nice terrace.

    I'm not sure it can brand itself as a "party hostel" as there doesn't seem to be any events going on. Maybe that is because I went in October (off-season). However, there were still a few people in the hostel at the time, so maybe something could have been organised.

    Good location in the old town for accessing everything that you possibly need to by walking, including buses from the waterfront for onward travel. It is quite a walk from the bus and train station, but most other hostels in this price range seem to be anyway. Very clean and comfortable beds. Two of the bathrooms looked quite small, but I had the bedroom with the en-suite between 6 people which was handy. The kitchen felt basic at first, but then it is a small hostel, so it was fine for the number of people. Nice rooftop area to hang out, but beware that if it is raining, there aren't any decent communal areas to hang out in.

    There is no sink in one of the bathroom and the kitchen is a bit small (but well equiped and that's the most important). Overall, not really cosy but fonctionnal so it's really ok for the price.

    The hostel is really near the city center, the rooftop is so cool to spend time with people (when the weather is nice).
